Best Hotels With a Pool in Miami
This list covers the city of Miami rather than Miami Beach: pool hotels in Brickell and downtown, Coconut Grove, Coral Gables, Wynwood, Doral and the airport area. Twenty-eight hotels and apartment rentals are ranked by guest rating. Mr C Miami Coconut Grove and Loews Coral Gables Hotel both score 9.3, the historic Biltmore Hotel in Coral Gables has a vast outdoor pool with cabanas, and citizenM Miami World Center, with more than 9,000 reviews, has a rooftop pool downtown. Near the airport, EB Hotel Miami Airport and Kompose Boutique Miami Airport keep outdoor pools for layovers. Several listings are private apartments in residential towers rather than hotels.
Miami is a warm, multilingual city on Biscayne Bay, shaped by Cuban and wider Latin American culture. The towers of Brickell, the murals of Wynwood, the leafy streets of Coconut Grove and the Mediterranean-style buildings of Coral Gables give each neighbourhood its own character, and Miami Beach sits across the bay as a separate city with its own hotels.
Where to stay
Rooftop, resort and airport pools in Miami
Miami's pool hotels follow its neighbourhoods. Brickell and downtown have rooftop pools above the financial district and Biscayne Bay; Coconut Grove and Coral Gables offer greener, quieter settings with resort-style pools; Doral and the airport area, west of the city, have practical hotels with outdoor pools near Dolphin Mall and Miami International Airport. In Miami's warm climate, an outdoor pool is usable all year.
Coconut Grove and Coral Gables hold the most polished pool hotels on the list. Mr C Miami Coconut Grove, rated 9.3, has a pool with a view, spa facilities, a sauna, free bicycles and an Italian restaurant. Loews Coral Gables Hotel, also rated 9.3 from more than 350 reviews, has a pool and hot tub, spa facilities, balconies with pool views and a family-friendly restaurant, and it accepts pets. The historic Biltmore Hotel Miami Coral Gables, rated 8.8, adds a vast outdoor pool with cabanas, an 18-hole golf course, a full-service spa and ten lighted tennis courts. Hampton Inn Miami-Coconut Grove/Coral Gables, rated 8.1, has a pool, a hot tub and a complimentary breakfast.
In Brickell and downtown, pools tend to be on the roof. citizenM Miami World Center, rated 8.7 from more than 9,000 reviews, has a rooftop pool, a restaurant and a bar in the city centre, and citizenM Miami Brickell, rated 8.6, follows the same rooftop format. InterContinental Miami, rated 8.9 from more than 1,700 reviews, looks over Biscayne Bay, with an outdoor pool, a spa with ten treatment rooms and a 24-hour fitness center. Hampton Inn & Suites Miami Downtown/Brickell, rated 8.8, is a short walk from the Brickell Metromover station and includes a daily hot breakfast, and Fortune House Hotel Suites on Brickell Avenue adds full kitchens, a hot tub and a sauna.
West of the city, Doral and the airport area suit drivers, families and layovers. Marriott's Villas At Doral, rated 8.9, has villas with full kitchens, an outdoor pool, a lap pool and spa-wellness facilities. DoubleTree by Hilton Miami Doral, rated 8.8 from more than 1,600 reviews, has a year-round outdoor pool and family rooms, and Homewood Suites by Hilton Miami Dolphin Mall offers kitchenettes close to Dolphin Mall. Near Miami International Airport, EB Hotel Miami Airport, rated 9.0 from more than 1,600 reviews, has a spacious outdoor pool and a 24-hour fitness center, while Kompose Boutique Miami Airport and Candlewood Suites Miami Intl Airport also keep outdoor pools.
Several listings are private apartments in residential towers rather than hotels. Striking Lux 2 Bed 2 Bath with Panoramic View from Balcony is rated 9.7 from about 30 reviews, with a pool, a hot tub and a sauna, and Balcony Ocean Views, rated 9.1 from more than 570 reviews, has a pool, kitchenettes and parking. Sense28 Edgewater, an AvantStay Hotel, rated 9.2, combines a rooftop pool with full kitchens and balconies, and Suites at SLS Lux Brickell, also rated 9.2, has an outdoor pool and spa facilities. In Wynwood, The 27 Wynwood adds a rooftop pool and family rooms with kitchens. Ratings based on a few dozen reviews deserve a second look.
A traveler's perspectiveFor a first trip to Miami with time at the pool, I would choose Loews Coral Gables Hotel: it is rated 9.3, has a pool, a hot tub and spa facilities, and Coral Gables is a calmer base than downtown. If I wanted a historic setting, my pick would be the Biltmore Hotel Miami Coral Gables, with its vast outdoor pool, cabanas and 18-hole golf course.
