21 NYC buildings with rooftop pools offering luxurious resort-style living

By CityRealty Staff | From Future New York Today, May 21, 2026

Rooftop pool at Williamsburg Wharf (Serhant)

New York City experienced its first heat wave of 2026 about a month before the summer solstice, and the National Weather Service is predicting significantly above-average temperatures for June, July, and August. Fortunately, there are ample opportunities to beat the heat in New York City. Several of the city's hotels with rooftop pools sell day passes; notably, Williamsburg hot spot The William Vale is hosting the Sephora Summer Club, a poolside activation with complimentary SPF stations and a curated beauty library. This will debut on Friday, May 22, the day before the city's public beaches open for the season on Saturday, May 23. Outdoor public pools will open for the season on Saturday, June 27.

(+POOL)

Meanwhile, tests of +POOL, a floating, self-filtering pool planned for the East River, are underway to answer questions about safety and cleanliness. Work on the borings for +POOL's anchoring system was delayed because of the blizzards earlier this year, but this stage is complete and a pilot pool shell is now in the water. It will undergo weekly water quality testing throughout the summer. If everything goes well this year, a second pilot will run next summer and welcome a limited number of swimmers. The finished product will have four branches - for kids, lap swimmers, sports, and lounging - with waterfront views and a state-of-the-art filtration system.

In the immediate term, relief from the heat is just an elevator ride away for some lucky New Yorkers. Outdoor pools are part of several rental buildings' amenity packages, and outdoor pools on roof terraces and elevated terraces are the crowning glory for several luxury condominiums. These offer the atmosphere of a community pool, not to mention panoramic views and sumptuous lounge areas that would be the envy of elite country clubs.
