Who doesn’t love to swim? But you will enjoy it better if you do a few laps in a hotel’s rooftop swimming pool since you can take in the view a few storeys below you. And doesn’t it feel luxurious to lounge by the side of the pool, cocktail in hand while enjoying the scenic view and the blue skies, usually without any obstruction.
It also feels more private if you swim on the rooftop, unlike with pools on the ground. You can fully relax without worrying much about being ogled, all while you’re the one doing the ogling of the view below you.
For parents who want to give their kids a break in the water without traveling to another destination, having a pool in the same hotel would be more convenient for them.
