Boston Hotels With Rooftop Pools

Nestled along the picturesque shores of Massachusetts Bay, Boston is a city where every cobblestone tells a tale. From the revolutionary spirit of the Freedom Trail to the cultural richness of neighborhoods like Beacon Hill and the bustling energy of Quincy Market, this vibrant metropolis is a blend of old-world charm and modern innovation. 

Whether you’re here for marathon routes or catching a game at Fenway Park, there’s no better place to unwind and relax than in one of Boston hotels with rooftop pools from our list. It’s time to discover a different side of Beantown, and in honor of the world’s most famous “tea party” that took place right here, we say: let’s serve the tea.

EXTRAORDINARY PICK

For our first pick, we’re going to the 12th floor of The Colonnade Boston Hotel, where the most iconic rooftop deck in Beantown can be found. It’s known as the RTP, and it’s a true VIP star of the Back Bay. The Colonnade is nestled in the city’s beating heart, but you can easily trade the hustle and bustle for a dip or soaking up the sun on its wooden deck, boasting cozy cabanas and sun loungers.

No need to go far for a refreshing drink! The Colonnade also has a rooftop bar serving fabulous cocktails. Make sure there’s one in your hand – it’s the best accessory for those poolside pics. With its inviting atmosphere, this Boston rooftop pool stands as a true urban oasis above the bustling streets, so make sure to add it to your itinerary.

QUIRKY PICK

Although Boston doesn’t have a bad weather reputation, there’s a surprising number of indoor pools, and we decided to give one of them a chance, the one with views so majestic you could forget you’re not under the open sky. Of course, we’re talking about the Four Seasons Hotel Boston. This pool gem is located on the 8th floor (bonus points for decent height), and with its floor-to-ceiling windows, it serves the best views of Boston Public Garden and Beacon Hill.

The serene pool area has a sleek and minimalist design, adorned with neutral tones that allow Beantown’s skyline to take center stage without distraction. Sun or rain, you can enjoy a swim here while soaking in the iconic cityscape. It’s a proper, luxurious retreat that offers a rooftop pool experience with a twist.

THE FUN PICK

Meet our third contender: the heated rooftop pool at Omni Boston at the Seaport Hotel, a true charmer in the city’s skyline. Its inviting pool deck may not be sky-high (located on the “modest” 5th floor), but its modern ambiance is certainly an eye-catcher. The best part? This oasis doesn’t hibernate when winter comes knocking; it’s open year-round, complete with a hot tub and a bar slinging top-notch cocktails.

Picture this: elegant white sun loungers framing the turquoise pool against the backdrop of the bustling city. It’s not just a pool, it’s a snapshot waiting to happen! And the location? This hotel is located in the Seaport District, close to the Harbor, iconic Tea Party ships, and a museum commemorating the revolutionary event that shook the nation centuries ago. So, don’t miss out on sipping tea by the waterfront and sampling some of the five types of teas flung overboard during the Boston Tea Party.

JIM and Hels’ view

As the sun sets on our rooftop pool adventures, it’s time to crown the winner before our tea gets cold – and no, we’re not throwing it into the harbor! The title goes to none other than The Colonnade Hotel’s rooftop pool. With its unbeatable views, chic ambiance, and refreshing cocktails, it’s the ultimate urban oasis above the bustling streets of Boston. So, raise your glasses (or teacups) to the ultimate Bostonian retreat. And if you’re craving more options, consider checking out Renu at Back Bay or Marriott Long Wharf, another indoor gem with stunning views in Beantown.
