From the Marina Bay Sands 150-metre rooftop infinity icon to the Santorini-caldera-overlook plunge cluster and the Bali-Ubud jungle-rice-paddy register.
The structural infinity-pool luxury hotel is the working photographic-anchor of the contemporary luxury-hotel category. The working primary clusters are: the Marina-Bay-Sands-and-Asian-skyscraper rooftop infinity cluster, the Santorini-caldera-overlook plunge cluster (every premium Santorini suite has a private caldera-overlook plunge), the Bali-Ubud jungle-rice-paddy infinity register (Como Shambhala, Hanging Gardens, Mandapa), the Mediterranean-coast cliffside (Belmond Caruso, Sirenuse, Capri Palace Anacapri), and the Maldivian-and-Bora-Bora overwater-villa private-pool register.
The structural infinity-pool luxury hotel cluster is anchored by the Marina Bay Sands Singapore (the world's largest rooftop infinity pool at 150m), the Santorini caldera-cluster (Mystique, Canaves Oia, Katikies — every premium suite carries the structural Santorini caldera-overlook plunge), the Hanging Gardens Bali (the structural double-tier Bali-jungle infinity), the Belmond Hotel Caruso Amalfi (the structural Amalfi-coast cliffside infinity), and the Anaheim-EME-Catedral-Mercer Sevilla rooftop alternative.
Editors picked the structural infinity-pool luxury hotel anchors. Choose by working register — the Asian rooftop-skyscraper anchor, the Santorini caldera-cluster, the Bali-jungle-infinity, the Mediterranean-coast cliffside, or the Maldivian-overwater-villa private-pool.
