Sheraton Hong Kong’s temperature-controlled rooftop pool is a must-visit for any local or tourist looking to soak up some sun and take in the views of the harbour. This modern, sleek pool is located on the 76th floor and offers an infinity edge, so you can enjoy your favourite drink and take in those stunning views while you relax.
Kerry Hotel’s outdoor pool in Hung Hom is a great place to take in the stunning scenery of Victoria Harbour. The 25-meter pool has minimal barriers, so you can get up close and personal with the water without having to worry about being surrounded by people. It’s also right next to the elegant lounge and bar Red Sugar, which serves a wide range of drinks and snacks.
W Hong Kong’s 76th-floor rooftop pool is one of the highest outdoor swimming pools in the world and boasts breathtaking views across the city. After a swim, you can sit down and relax in the cosy deckchairs or tuck into delicious cocktails on order while you admire the skyline.

HK’s most luxurious hotel boasts not one, but two gorgeous rooftop pools. The infinity pool stretches out to the sea so you can really soak up the ocean views, while the lap pool is perfect for a quick swim before heading out for dinner.
If you’re after something a little more active, head to the fitness centre for some exercise or try out one of the tai chi classes held by the hotel. The outdoor pool is also a great spot to spend time with your partner as the stunning views of Victoria Harbour make for a romantic backdrop.
Island Shangri-La’s rooftop pool isn’t quite as high-end as some of the other options on our list, but it offers the feeling of being smack-bang in the middle of Hong Kong’s downtown area. Its glass-walled pool is surrounded by comfortable chaise lounges, while the whirlpool is available for your relaxation needs. This pool is only open to members and guests, but you can score great deals on staycations with this hotel when you book them through Cathay Pacific.
