Orlando Hotels With Rooftop Pools: 9 Verified Picks by Area

1. Hotel Beauden, Autograph Collection

This tower at 325 South Orange Avenue was the Grand Bohemian Orlando until its rename to Hotel Beauden, announced in early September 2026; it remains an Autograph Collection hotel. Its Altira Pool + Lounge sits “high above the city streets,” in the hotel’s words, with greenery and intimate lounge seating, and Marriott’s page described rooftop dining and a pool with city views and bottle service.

Marriott listed the pool as heated and open from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily at our last check (May 2026, before the rename), so treat it as a daytime pool and ask about current hours. Libra restaurant, Bar Libra and a Starbucks are downstairs.

• Why stay: The most stylish rooftop pool in the city, with the Dr. Phillips Center, Church Street and the Kia Center a short walk away.
• Getting there / to the parks: Plan on a car or rideshare: about 8 to 9 miles by road to Universal’s CityWalk area (roughly 15 minutes in light traffic), 20 to 22 miles to EPCOT or Magic Kingdom (about 32 minutes) and 13 miles to Orlando International Airport (MCO), which Marriott lists as 12.
• Good to know: Marriott listed valet parking at $42 a day ($25 for daytime parking) and a minimum check-in age of 21 (May 2026 capture). Confirm both after the rename.

Best for: Couples, special occasions and anyone pairing a pool afternoon with a show or a game downtown.

2. Lake Nona Wave Hotel

At 6100 Wave Hotel Drive in Lake Nona’s Town Center, this hotel bills its Wave Pool as “A Rooftop Experience.” It’s the most colorful pool on this list and the only one here that advertises private cabanas fitted with a sofa, coffee table, entertainment console and TV, plus curtains you can close for privacy.

The hotel says the pool is open every day from dawn until dusk. Select rooms have private balconies, and the restaurants include BACÁN, Garni Café and The Nectar Room. Our guide to the best hotels in Lake Nona compares it with the quieter chain hotels nearby.

• Why stay: The most playful rooftop pool in Orlando, plus serious restaurants in Lake Nona’s Town Center.
• Getting there / to the parks: The hotel says MCO is eight miles away; OSRM routes about 7 miles (roughly 15 minutes). Universal is about 19 miles (30 minutes) and EPCOT or Magic Kingdom 20 to 22 miles. Lake Nona’s Beep shuttles cover local trips only.
• Good to know: All guests must be 21 or older to check in. Valet costs extra (no price was listed), or you can self-park on floor two and up of the adjacent Wave public garage. Pets under 40 lb pay a $150 cleaning fee ($250 in suites).

Best for: Couples, design lovers and a stylish first or last night near the airport.

3. The Alfond Inn

This 183-room boutique hotel at 300 East New England Avenue in Winter Park sits just off Park Avenue. Its FAQ is specific: the resort fee covers “access to rooftop pool & bar with sundeck.” Contemporary art from The Alfond Collection fills the building, and Hamilton’s Kitchen is the on-site restaurant.

Don’t confuse the rooftop pool with the Spa Pool, which is reserved for spa guests 18 and older with a booked treatment. Our list of Orlando hotels with adults-only pools explains how it compares with other age-restricted pools.

• Why stay: A small, art-filled hotel with a rooftop pool and bar, and dinner on Park Avenue a short walk away.
• Getting there / to the parks: This isn’t a theme park base. The hotel lists MCO at about 18 miles (30 to 35 minutes); OSRM routes about 16. Universal is about 13 miles by road (25 minutes) and the Disney parks 25 to 27 miles (40 minutes or more).
• Good to know: At the time of writing the resort fee is $27 plus tax per room per night (rooftop pool and bar, Wi-Fi, fitness center and a 10% spa discount). Parking is valet only, from $37 a day plus tax. You must be 21 to check in, only dogs are accepted as pets, and pack and plays are available.

Best for: Anniversaries, weekend escapes and Rollins College visits. More options are in our best hotels in Winter Park, Florida guide.

4. Cambria Hotel Orlando Universal Blvd

If you want a rooftop pool near the theme parks, this is the one. The Cambria at 6801 Visitors Circle, just off International Drive, promotes “our rooftop pool and bar with sweeping city views” on its Choice Hotels page. Choice’s amenity list also includes a rooftop lounge, a poolside bar, a full-service bar and restaurant and a grab-and-go market.

On Booking.com the hotel currently appears as “Cambria Hotel Orlando near Universal Theme Parks,” so don’t be thrown by the different name.

• Why stay: The closest rooftop pool to Universal Orlando on this list, handy for a swim before an evening at CityWalk.
• Getting there / to the parks: Choice lists Universal Studios Orlando about 1 mile away; by road it’s about 1.4 miles to the CityWalk area (5 minutes). EPCOT and Magic Kingdom are 13 to 16 miles (about 27 minutes) and MCO about 13 miles. Choice lists a shuttle service without a schedule, so ask the hotel where it goes.
• Good to know: At our last check (Choice page captured February 2026), parking was listed as free and pets were not allowed (service animals only). Check-in is at 4 p.m., the minimum check-in age is 18, and Choice says the hotel doesn’t accept reservations from local residents.

Best for: Universal and Epic Universe trips when you want a rooftop swim after park days.

5. Ramada Plaza by Wyndham Orlando Resort & Suites Intl Drive

The Ramada Plaza at 6500 International Drive has two towers on a lake. The North Tower’s rooftop holds a swim-in-place pool, a spa, a sundeck, a gym and the SkyBar, but the hotel reserves them for Club Level suite guests. Other North Tower suite guests can buy a day pass for $25 plus tax per person per day, and outside visitors aren’t allowed.

Club Level adds unlimited complimentary beer and wine from noon to 8 p.m. (last call 7:45 p.m.) and snacks from 5 to 6:30 p.m. The rooftop is open daily from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. Club Level one-bedroom suites measure 750 square feet. The hotel says two-bedroom suites sleep up to 10, but the same page caps suites at five guests for SkyBar access, so confirm your party size.

• Why stay: The only rooftop pool on this list with drinks included, in suites big enough for a group.
• Getting there / to the parks: Universal’s CityWalk area is about 1.7 miles by road. The shuttle page lists free 9 a.m. departures to Universal Studios and Epic Universe and a 9:50 a.m. run to EPCOT, returning at 5:45 p.m. (EPCOT), 6:15 p.m. (Epic Universe) and 8:20 p.m. (Universal). The FAQ still mentions Magic Kingdom, so confirm the routes. Seats are first come, first served, and groups of 10 or more can’t ride.
• Good to know: The FAQ lists free self-parking, the site advertises a free continental breakfast, and the Club Level page says there are no resort or parking fees. You must be 25 to check in, a $250 incidental hold applies, pets aren’t allowed and children need an adult with them on the rooftop.

Best for: Groups and multigenerational families booking Club Level suites.

6. Hyatt Regency Orlando International Airport

Orlando’s airport says this 445-room hotel is inside Terminal A/B, above the security checkpoint for Gates 70 to 129, and promotes its “rooftop pool & sundeck.” Hyatt adds that the pool is outdoor and heated, with a Roman-style splash pool, a sun deck and a shaded lounge where you can watch planes on the runway.

The hotel and its restaurants are before security. Hemisphere, on the ninth floor, has runway views, and McCoy’s Bar and Grill is on the lobby level. Day-use rooms, sold from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. based on availability, include the pool. Our Orlando airport hotels guide compares it with the shuttle hotels nearby.

• Why stay: A rooftop swim without leaving the terminal, ideal before an early flight or during a long layover.
• Getting there / to the parks: Terminal A and B arrivals can walk from baggage claim; Terminal C is a separate building linked by the four-minute Terminal Link train, so allow extra time from there. By road, Universal is about 13 to 14 miles (25 to 30 minutes) and EPCOT or Magic Kingdom 21 to 24 miles (35 to 40 minutes).
• Good to know: The airport and Hyatt list self-parking and valet but no prices on the pages we checked, so ask when you book. The airport’s page also lists Park, Stay & Go packages that bundle a night with parking for your trip.

Best for: Late arrivals, early departures and anyone with a long layover.

7. Hilton Garden Inn Orlando Downtown

This Hilton Garden Inn shares its building at 401 North Magnolia Avenue with the Home2 Suites by Hilton Orlando Downtown. Hilton invites guests to “kick back by our rooftop pool,” and lists a Starbucks café, an on-site restaurant and a fitness center. Lake Eola Park, home of the Walt Disney Amphitheater, is a few blocks away.

• Why stay: A modern, mid-scale hotel with a rooftop pool on the quieter north side of downtown.
• Getting there / to the parks: Universal is about 9 miles by road (16 minutes), EPCOT and Magic Kingdom 21 to 23 miles and MCO about 14 to 15 miles. LYNX Central Station, with SunRail and local buses, is less than half a mile away.
• Good to know: Parking is valet only, listed at $45 a day at our last check (March 2026 capture). Up to two dogs or cats are allowed for a fee.

Best for: Concert weekends and walks around Lake Eola. More neighborhood picks are in our best hotels in downtown Orlando guide.

8. Home2 Suites by Hilton Orlando Downtown

Home2 Suites is the other half of the 401 North Magnolia building, directly across from the Orange County Courthouse, and Hilton headlines its page with “rooftop pool views in downtown.” The difference is the room: Hilton lists in-room kitchens for extended stays and a free hot breakfast, which the Hilton Garden Inn doesn’t list. Both hotels advertise a rooftop pool at this address, and their photos show the same deck.

• Why stay: A kitchen, free breakfast and a rooftop pool at one downtown address.
• Getting there / to the parks: The same as the Hilton Garden Inn: about 9 miles to Universal, 21 to 23 miles to the Disney parks and LYNX Central less than half a mile away.
• Good to know: Valet-only parking was listed at $45 a day at our last check (September 2025 capture). Check-in is at 3 p.m., and up to two dogs or cats are allowed for a fee.

Best for: Longer stays, work trips and families who’d rather make their own breakfast and snacks.

9. DoubleTree by Hilton Orlando Downtown

The DoubleTree at 60 South Ivanhoe Boulevard overlooks Lake Ivanhoe, right off I-4 on the northern edge of downtown. Hilton says “we have a sky-deck pool,” along with a 24-hour fitness center, Sixty South Bar and a Made Market serving Starbucks. Hotel photos show the pool on an open roof deck with the guest tower rising behind it, so picture a rooftop terrace on the lower building rather than a top-floor pool.

Lake Eola, Church Street and the Kia Center are about 1.4 to 1.7 miles away by road, so most guests drive or take a short rideshare into the core. Our DoubleTree by Hilton Orlando Downtown review covers the rooms in detail.

• Why stay: The easiest I-4 access of the downtown group and the only downtown pick here with on-site self-parking listed.
• Getting there / to the parks: About 10 miles to Universal by road (17 minutes), 21 to 24 miles to EPCOT or Magic Kingdom and about 15 miles to MCO.
• Good to know: Hilton listed self-parking at $33 a day and valet at $36 (April 2026 capture). Pets are allowed for a nonrefundable fee.

Best for: Drivers who want a pool with a view and a quick run to the parks.
