As you may recall, one of my lifetime projects is “the rooftop pool” project.
Sure it sounds good, but what is that about?
My project is to visit -and dip into- one rooftop pool in each of the World’s capitals.
Why is that a lifetime project?
Cause it will surely take me that long to fulfill it! 😀
So for my visit to Athens, I obviously had to chose a hotel that had such facility!
I ended up choosing the Melia Hotel in Chalkokondili Street, and its gorgeous rooftop pool overlooking the Parthenon and Athens’ rooftops.
I usually like to stay in typical places and didn’t like the idea of choosing a hotel chain, but since I was searching for a hotel with a rooftop pool I had to go for it, and I had to say I totally enjoyed it: our room was big and comfortable, with a total window on Chakokondili and 28th October street, and even a hydromassage jacuzzi…
The price is was surprised me the most, as it costed only 95,00€/night!
Why should you book an hotel with a rooftop pool in Athens?
Waking up and having breakfast by the pool, and having a morning swim, are some of the best memories I have from Athens!
At night, the rooftop pool is unfortunately not accessible for swimming, but it turns into a sky lounge bar, where you can sip a cocktail and party with stunning views over the glittering Acropolis and the city lights!
feeling so spoiled with a morning swim on top of the city center!

Have you been in any rooftop pool?
Looks amazing! We recently stayed at Dream Hotel in Bangkok with a rooftop pool and it was excellent. Would highly recommend it 😉
Hi Julie! Thanks for the tip!! If I’m ever going to Bangkok (which is absolutely on my bucket list!) I’ll make sure I’ll choose a hotel with a rooftop pool
Ha, that is amazingly cool that you have an entire category dedicated to rooftop pools! I love rooftop (or top floor) restaurants but the only pool I had ever seen or heard of what the Infinity Pool at the Sands in Singapore. Fun post to read, Pam!

Hi Mike! Ahah yeah rooftop pools are my favorite attraction in every destinations ..
And I’ve heard of the Sands on Singapore as well, when I’ll visit I absolutely have to visit it, but I’ve heard you must be a resident of the hotel to visit the pool ugh :S
Such a beautiful views, I wish I can be here Pam. A hotel with a rooftop pool is very good idea. I think i will try a place like that
