Atlanta Hotels With Rooftop Pools

We’re back in the South y’all, and this time in the heart of the Peach State – Atlanta. Now, in a city where the heat can rival the fire of a Georgia barbecue, there’s no better way to cool off than with a dip in one of Atlanta hotels with rooftop pools, and we happen to know a few. 

Although you could easily spend days chilling at these rooftop oases, it would be a shame to miss out on Piedmont Park, the iconic gold dome of the State Capitol, or channel your inner Atlantan by exploring the vibrant neighborhoods of Midtown and Buckhead. While some may be content to explore the city’s cultural gems, we’re on a mission to tackle the tough job of sampling Atlanta’s rooftop pool scene. So let’s not just dip our toes, let’s dive right in.

EXTRAORDINARY PICK

We are starting high, from the 16th floor of the W Atlanta – Downtown hotel and its sleek and trendy rooftop pool. Here, you’re not just catching rays, you’re soaking in some of the most breathtaking views of Atlanta’s skyline, rain or shine. And guess what? This pool’s got you covered – literally! With a partial roof, you can float your worries away, no matter the weather.

The bar here is a bit of a weekend warrior, but it’s worth the wait, so make sure to seize the moment if you find yourself here on a Saturday or Sunday. What happens every day, though, is the evening magic. As the sun goes below the horizon, the pool transforms into a twinkling oasis, with the city lights casting a magical glow. Regardless of the day or time, W Atlanta surely won’t disappoint you.

QUIRKY PICK

Our next pick is located Downtown, and it’s Club Wyndham Atlanta Hotel, boasting a pool deck that’s as unique as it is enticing. What we love is the shape of the pool, it’s got the personality of the letter L, allowing for enough space for a proper swim. Besides cabanas and sunbeds, there are also beautiful white in-water loungers.

Thanks to the glass walls surrounding the pool, you’ll enjoy endless views of Atlanta’s skyline, its azure hues mirroring the pool’s inviting waters. This deck has a dash of green, and by a dash, we mean a towering column with lush foliage. It’s a true eye-catcher.

Next up on our rooftop pool tour is the vibrant Hotel Colee, where color is king. A not-so-high rooftop pool, but boy, is it an interesting one! Overlooking bustling Peachtree Road, the pool deck at Hotel Colee is a kaleidoscope of fun and flair. From sun loungers in vivid orange to sofas in electric blue, and then the wall with stripes in pastels…

This is a place for the boldest, brightest, and most adventurous swimwear you can find, so leave your black classics at home. Trust us, you’ll want to match the pool’s colorful vibes with your own palette. After all, this pool deck isn’t just a place to swim – it’s an instant mood booster and the ultimate spot for good times and fun vibes.

JIM and Hels’ view

As we say goodbye to rooftop pools in Atlanta, it’s only fitting to raise a glass of Coca-Cola on the rocks in tribute to the city where it all started. We’ve seen a lot of interesting rooftop oases, but the one that won us over is the W Atlanta Downtown, with its breathtaking views, trendsetting style, and an overall cool vibe. Of course, we can’t overlook a few other standout pools that made a splash on our radar as well. From the classic charm of The Georgian Terrace to the chic allure of The Nobu and the irresistible vibes of Twelve Midtown, Atlanta certainly has a rooftop pool scene that’s worth exploring.
