Hong Kong has a lot to offer, from high-end shopping and dim sum to picturesque beaches and public swimming pools. But if you want to cool off in style, you’ll need to look no further than its hotel rooftop pools. While some are exclusive to hotel guests or require a pricey spa package, others are open for all to enjoy!
We’ve put together a list of some of the best hotel pools in Hong Kong so you can soak up some sun and have some fun in the water this summer!

Victoria Park Swimming Pool
Designed by British architect Derek Walker and engineered by engineering firm BuroHappold, the Victoria Park swimming pool is the only public pool in the Southern District. The swimming pool was opened on 12 September 1989 as part of the redevelopment of Kowloon Park and is currently operated by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department.
Myrtha Pools
Myrtha Pools is a swimming pool construction company that was founded in the United Kingdom. The company uses its patented technology to build high quality swimming pools that meet FINA’s standards. One of the most noteworthy projects that the company has worked on is the new aquatics center built in Hong Kong’s Victoria Park, which was completed earlier this year. The project was a collaboration between the Hong Kong Leisure and Cultural Services Department and Myrtha Pools, who provided the pools with their patented Myrta Technology. The project is considered to be the most advanced and modern swimming complex in Asia.
