One pool defined the skyline. Four more decks deserve the conversation.

The Best Rooftop Pool Hotels in Singapore (2026)

·

Marina Bay Sands runs the definitive rooftop pool: 146 metres on the 57th floor, hotel guests only. The honest news is that Singapore offers four serious alternatives, from the Fullerton Bay's 25-metre bay-view deck to Artyzen's glass-bottomed cantilever, and none of them needs a 1,850-room mega-resort booking. Compared below.

The five, side by side

Every conversation about Singapore rooftop pools starts at Marina Bay Sands and usually stops there. It should not: the city has built a genuine second tier of rooftop swims, including the newest entry on this page, which opened in December 2023 with a glass-bottomed cantilever.

How we chose: rooftop or top-deck hotel pools in Singapore judged on the swim, the view, deck behavior at peak hours and what the access policy really means for a visitor. Criteria and weightings live on our methodology page.

Is the Marina Bay Sands pool still the best in Singapore?

1. For the thing it does, nothing else comes close, here or anywhere. The SkyPark infinity runs 146 metres along the 57th floor, 191 metres above the city, atop three towers and a deck that cantilevers 67 metres beyond the easternmost one. It defined the category in 2010 and still owns it; our full Marina Bay Sands pool review covers which rooms buy the calmest deck hours. Access is overnight guests only, 6 am to 10 pm, and day passes are not sold under any circumstances; the separately ticketed observation deck is the public's version.

The honest catch: you share the experience with a hotel of roughly 1,850 rooms. Swim at 6:30 am or accept the crowd; midday on the deck is a queue with a view.

What is the best boutique alternative to MBS?

2. The Fullerton Bay Hotel. Its 25-metre rooftop infinity looks back across Marina Bay toward the towers of Raffles Place, flanked by two jacuzzis and a landscaped deck, with the Lantern bar on the same roof for the after-swim drink. The trade is scale for intimacy: a fraction of the rooms, a deck where loungers are findable, and the best water-level view of the bay's evening light show.

The honest catch: the roof is compact and Lantern's evening trade reclaims it from late afternoon. This is a morning and early-afternoon pool; plan the sunset drink, not the sunset swim.

Which Singapore rooftop pool do travelers underrate?

3. Andaz Singapore. The hotel occupies levels 25 to 39 of the DUO Tower on the Bugis side of the city, and its level-25 infinity pool faces the downtown skyline with greenery and sunbeds along the edge, with the Alley on 25 restaurant adjacent. It is the right answer for travelers basing in Kampong Glam and Bugis rather than the Marina Bay strip.

The honest catch: the view is city towers rather than the bay, and the deck is modest. It earns its rank on the room-plus-pool package, not on spectacle.

Does the Westin's level-35 pool justify a business-district stay?

4. If your week is in the CBD, yes. The Westin Singapore's corner infinity pool sits on level 35 of the Asia Square tower, sharing the floor with the spa, fitness studio and club lounge, and looking south over the port and coastline. Reaching it involves the hotel's signature elevator change at the 32nd-floor lobby, which keeps the deck strictly to guests.

The honest catch: the south-coast orientation means container terminals and sea, not the Marina Bay postcard, and the vibe is business-hotel calm rather than resort. Anniversary trips should look one entry up; working weeks should book here.

What is Singapore's newest rooftop pool?

5. Artyzen Singapore, opened December 2023 on Cuscaden Road by Orchard Road. Its level-21 pool is the most architecturally daring swim on this page: 25 metres, cantilevered past the building edge, with jacuzzi jets and a partially transparent base so you can look past your feet to the street below. The hotel around it is a garden-led tower with balconies on most rooms.

The honest catch: level 21 among Orchard's taller towers means glimpsed skyline rather than commanding panorama, and the glass-bottomed section is a hard no for anyone with vertigo. It is the design swim, not the view swim.

What do these rooftop-pool stays actually cost?

Expect roughly US$450 to US$700 a night for an entry room at the two decks we rate-checked in June 2026. Marina Bay Sands averaged about US$825, with standard rooms opening near SGD 600 to 900; The Fullerton Bay averaged about US$778, with deluxe rooms found in the low US$400s midweek. Suites and sky-villas climb into four figures fast. The catch every Singapore quote hides is the double charge: hotels add a 10% service charge and 9% GST, so an SGD 800 headline is closer to SGD 960 paid. The value read is straightforward. The pool you cannot buy any other way is the MBS SkyPark, and its rate premium over the Fullerton Bay is small enough that if the 146-metre swim is the point, paying it is defensible. If the pool is a daily amenity rather than the trip's photograph, the Fullerton Bay delivers a near-identical entry rate for a calmer, smaller deck, the better dollar-for-swim trade for most travelers.

How should you choose between them?

Decide what the pool is for. If it is the trip's centerpiece photograph, only Marina Bay Sands delivers it, and you must sleep there to swim there. If it is a daily amenity, the Fullerton Bay and Andaz packages are better hotels per dollar for most travelers, and Artyzen is the design-led wildcard. Singapore sells almost no pool day passes at this tier, unlike Dubai, so the booking decision is the swimming decision. The broader hotel choice is mapped in our Singapore hotel guide; the global rankings live in the Top 20 rooftop pool hotels; and the sister city cuts cover Bangkok and New York.

Frequently asked questions

Can you swim at Marina Bay Sands without staying there?

No. The 146-metre SkyPark infinity pool is reserved for overnight hotel guests and day passes are not sold under any circumstances. Non-guests can buy tickets to the separate SkyPark observation deck, which offers the view but not the water.

What is the longest rooftop pool in Singapore?

The Marina Bay Sands SkyPark infinity pool, at 146 metres along the 57th floor, 191 metres above the city. It is the longest rooftop hotel pool in the world; the next longest on our Singapore list are the 25-metre pools at the Fullerton Bay and Artyzen.

Which Singapore hotel has the newest rooftop pool?

Artyzen Singapore, which opened in December 2023 on Cuscaden Road. Its level-21 pool is 25 metres long, cantilevered past the building edge, with jacuzzi jets and a partially glass-bottomed section over the street below.

Is there a glass-bottomed hotel pool in Singapore?

Yes. The rooftop pool at Artyzen Singapore has a partially transparent base on its cantilevered section, so swimmers can see 21 storeys down to street level. It is the only pool on our Singapore list with that feature.

Which rooftop pool is best for a business trip to Singapore?

The Westin Singapore. Its level-35 corner infinity pool sits in the heart of the CBD with the spa and fitness floor alongside, and the guests-only access via the 32nd-floor sky lobby keeps the deck quiet on weekday mornings.

Do Singapore rooftop pools sell day passes?

At the luxury tier, essentially no. All five pools on this list are guest-only, which makes Singapore stricter than Dubai or New York. The public version of the experience is a rooftop bar like Lantern at the Fullerton Bay, not a swim.

How much do Singapore's rooftop-pool hotels cost per night?

Entry rates run roughly US$450 to US$700 a night at the two we rate-checked in June 2026: Marina Bay Sands averaged about US$825 (standard rooms from around SGD 600 to 900) and The Fullerton Bay about US$778, with midweek deluxe rooms found in the low US$400s. Suites climb into four figures. Remember the Singapore double charge: a 10% service charge plus 9% GST is added on top of the headline rate.
