Choose nhow if the pool itself is the draw. The glass-bottomed orange pool sits on the rooftop terrace, along with a solarium and plunge pools, and the hotel reserves it for guests.

The pool

Vertigo, the rooftop terrace on Via Tortona, holds the pool. It has a glass bottom and an orange finish, with a solarium, plunge pools and a lounge bar. Floor, hours and heating policy go unpublished.

Our take

nhow has the most unusual pool on our list, and Vertigo has more pool formats than Calimala or VIU, with plunge pools beside the main pool. Like VIU, it's built for people who sleep in the hotel.

Missing detail is the downside. The hotel gives no floor and no pool hours. It says the pool and solarium are for guests only, so you need a room. Its separate first-floor terrace with palm trees isn't the pool terrace.

Good to know

  • Glass-bottomed pool with a solarium
  • Plunge pools on the rooftop, beside the main pool
  • Lounge bar on the panoramic terrace
  • Gym with a Turkish bath, open 7:00 to 23:00

The catches

  • Pool and solarium reserved for hotel guests
  • Floor and pool hours aren't published

Best forDesign-minded guests who want a pool they'll remember and a rooftop lounge bar.

Skip it ifYou want to swim without a room booking.

Getting in

You need a room to swim: the hotel keeps the pool and solarium for its guests only.

Bar service is open to external visitors, but the hotel's page doesn't say which bar. No day pass is listed.

Tips

  • Book for June to August, the best three months for swimming in Milan.
  • Use the gym between 7:00 and 23:00 if the weather rules out the rooftop.

Before you go. Ask the hotel which months the rooftop pool runs, since it doesn't publish its dates or hours.
