Madrid’s temperatures are soaring again, and last weekend I took my family on a getaway, specifically seeking out hotels with swimming pools. After staying at several, I can confirm they’re significantly more comfortable than standard hotels, especially for families with children – kids can spend entire afternoons at the pool without getting bored.
Let me start with a few in the city center. Eurostars Madrid Tower is located in the Cuatro Torres business district, featuring a rooftop outdoor pool with spectacular views overlooking Madrid’s entire skyline. Prices range from €120-180 per night, with weekends being slightly more expensive. The pool isn’t huge, but it’s never crowded, making morning swims quite pleasant. The only downside is it’s a bit far from central attractions, though metro access is convenient.
If your budget allows for Madrid hotels, the Wellington Hotel is absolutely worth considering. This iconic five-star hotel in the Salamanca district features an outdoor pool tucked away in the hotel’s rear garden, surrounded by greenery with excellent privacy. Prices range from €200-300, higher during peak season. I stayed there last summer – the pool water quality is impeccably maintained, complete with loungers and umbrellas, and the staff is highly professional.
Best Value Options
If you’re looking for Madrid NH hotels without breaking the bank, several suburban hotels are excellent alternatives. Areas like Las Rozas and Pozuelo de Alarcón offer numerous resort hotels with pools at much lower prices – €80-120 gets you very comfortable accommodations. Though they’re 20-30 minutes by car from the city center, the peaceful environment is perfect for those seeking relaxation. I stayed at Exe Las Rozas last month – the pool is spacious with a dedicated children’s area.
Here’s a comparison of basic information for several top-rated Madrid hotels:
| Hotel Name | Location | Price Range | Pool Type |
|---|
| Eurostars Madrid Tower | North city center | €120-180 | Outdoor rooftop pool |
| Wellington Hotel | Salamanca district | €200-300 | Outdoor garden pool |
| Exe Las Rozas | Las Rozas | €80-120 | Large outdoor pool |
| VP Jardín Metropolitano | Tres Cantos | €90-140 | Outdoor + indoor pool |
One final note: hotel pools in Madrid typically operate from late May through early September, though exact dates vary by property, so confirm before booking. Weekends and holidays tend to be busier – weekdays offer a more relaxed experience. Some hotels also offer pool access to non-guests for an additional fee, so if you’re only interested in swimming, consider purchasing a day pass.
