To get the most out of your city break in Amsterdam, choose a hotel with a pool for some welcome relief after a busy day of sightseeing. Amsterdam’s climate means that most hotel pools are indoors, so they can be enjoyed beyond the city’s brief summer. Our picks for the best hotels in Amsterdam with pools include spa hotels with full-sized indoor-to-outdoor pools, rooftop pools with panoramic views, warming pools with hoists and even those with waterfall features.
