We earn a commission if you book through some links on this page. It doesn't change your price, and hotels can't pay to be listed. How we make money.

Miami swims best from March to May, and January highs still average 24.6°C, so a rooftop pool works almost year-round. Every one of the 25 hotels we list has its pool on the roof: 14 sell day passes to non-guests, 7 are guests only, and 4 don't publish their access rules.

Our first pick is Mayfair House in Coconut Grove, where a $40 day pass lets non-guests up to a rooftop with daybeds and a rum bar. For the cheapest way up, Hyatt Centric Las Olas sells the lowest published pass on our list at $20 per adult on ResortPass.

When to swim on a Miami rooftop

March to May is the best swim window in Miami. Highs average 27.4°C in November, 25.7°C in December and 24.6°C in January, so winter swims are workable, and 7 hotels on our list heat the pool: Hyatt Centric Brickell, Arlo Wynwood, Hotel Greystone, citizenM Worldcenter, Angler's Hotel, Strand Ocean Drive and The Dalmar. The other hotels don't publish a heating policy.

Ultra Music Festival Miami takes over Bayfront Park from March 26 to 28, 2027, inside the best swim window, so book early for those dates. MBLX: Miami Beach Lindy Xchange is January 15 to 17, 2027. W Miami lists its outdoor pool as closed on weekdays until renovation ends on Feb 26, 2027.

Average daily highs: November 81°F (27°C), December 78°F (26°C), January 76°F (25°C). The warmest stretch for swimming is Mar–May.

Hotels you might expect here, and why they're not

These hotels come up often in Miami searches, but we found no rooftop pool at any of them.

  • InterContinental Miami by IHG. No source places a swimming pool on the roof. The only pool mention is by the mySpa garden area. Bluewater is a rooftop bar, and its "poolside" wording does not say where the pool is.
  • The Savoy Hotel & Beach Club. The hotel's own beach club page describes an oceanfront pool and private beach with cabanas. No source places the pool on a roof or top-floor terrace.
  • Delano Miami Beach. The hotel's own restaurant page places the Gigi Pool on the ground floor, and no rooftop pool is stated. The Telegraph ranking is a single third-party mention, dated 2017 yet claiming a June 2026 reopening, so it is not relied on for pool location.
  • Eurostars Langford. No source mentions a swimming pool at Eurostars Langford. The only rooftop mention is a bar (Pawn Broker) with no pool stated, so it cannot be confirmed as a rooftop pool.
