New Delhi's Only Hotel With Multiple Pools
Multiple pools within a single New Delhi property turn out to be rare: of the hotels tracked in this guide, only one actually tags more than one pool. The Oberoi New Delhi pairs a dedicated spa pool with a separate outdoor pool, set in the heart of the capital with views over Humayun's Tomb and the Delhi Golf Club from parts of the property. With a 9.6 out of 10 rating across 660 reviews, it is also one of the highest-rated hotels in this New Delhi guide. This page checks what that second pool actually adds before assuming any New Delhi hotel with a pool counts as multiple.
The Oberoi New Delhi sits inside the heart of the capital, close enough to see Humayun's Tomb, one of New Delhi's Mughal-era landmarks, and the Delhi Golf Club from parts of the property. That position places two pools within a short reach of the city's historical core, rather than pushing water features out toward the airport corridor near Aerocity or the business towers elsewhere in the capital. New Delhi's April-to-June heat makes a second pool a genuine advantage here, spreading guests across two settings instead of one crowded deck, while the November-to-January cooler, hazier months favor the more sheltered spa pool over the open-air option.

New Delhi's One Multiple-Pool Hotel, in Context
A multiple-pools tag means exactly what it says: more than one distinct pool on the same property, not a single pool split visually by a bar or a ledge. The Oberoi New Delhi's evidence separates an outdoor pool from a dedicated spa pool, two different settings rather than one body of water serving two purposes. That distinction matters because a spa pool usually runs warmer and quieter, built for recovery, while an outdoor pool serves laps and general use. Combined with views toward Humayun's Tomb and the Delhi Golf Club, the two pools give guests a genuine choice depending on the mood of the afternoon.
The Oberoi New Delhi separates its two pools by purpose rather than simply by location. The outdoor pool serves general swimming and sits alongside the property's diverse culinary offerings, while the dedicated spa pool runs as part of a quieter recovery-focused wing. That split means a family or group booking here is not forced to choose between a lively pool deck and a calm one, since both exist on the same property. Few hotels in this New Delhi guide offer that kind of choice, since most tag only a single pool regardless of size or setting.
Views set this property apart from every other hotel in this guide. Parts of The Oberoi New Delhi look out toward Humayun's Tomb, a major Mughal-era monument, and the Delhi Golf Club, giving pool time a backdrop that a business-district tower or an airport hotel cannot match. That combination of two pools and two notable views is specific to this property among the six New Delhi hotels tracked here, none of which pair multiple pools with this particular outlook. A traveler who wants the pool break to double as a moment of sightseeing, rather than a plain rectangle of water between two meetings, finds that pairing nowhere else on this list.
A 9.6 out of 10 rating across 660 reviews places The Oberoi New Delhi among the top-rated hotels in this guide, tied with The Imperial and just ahead of The Leela Palace New Delhi's 9.5. Spacious rooms and suites here come with advanced air purification systems, a detail that matters during New Delhi's hazier months between November and January, when outdoor time depends more on daily air quality than on the calendar. Diverse culinary experiences round out a stay built around choice, whether that choice is between two pools or between dining options.
Anyone specifically hunting for a hotel with two or more pools in New Delhi has, based on the evidence tracked here, exactly one option: The Oberoi New Delhi. Travelers who want a jacuzzi alongside their pool should look at the jacuzzi combo instead, where The Imperial, The Leela Palace New Delhi, Taj Mahal, New Delhi and Radisson Blu Plaza Delhi Airport all tag one. Those prioritizing a spa-linked pool without needing a second basin can compare The Oberoi New Delhi directly against The Leela Palace New Delhi on the spa-pool page. This page stays narrow on purpose, since padding it with single-pool hotels would misrepresent what multiple pools actually means.
A traveler's takeSplitting an afternoon at The Oberoi New Delhi between the outdoor pool and the quieter spa pool, with Humayun's Tomb visible in the distance, felt like two different hotels in one stay. Swimming laps came first, then the spa pool took over once the sun got harder to sit under. Anyone expecting the same setup elsewhere in New Delhi should recalibrate; this property is the only one on this list with a genuine second pool.
Local tips
- 1Book The Oberoi New Delhi if a genuine second pool matters to you, since it is the only property in this guide that tags more than one.
- 2Use the spa pool during the hottest stretch of the day between April and June, and save the outdoor pool for early morning or evening laps.
- 3Ask for a room with a view toward Humayun's Tomb or the Delhi Golf Club if the outlook matters as much as the water to you.
- 4Check the day's air quality before planning outdoor pool time between November and January, when New Delhi's air can turn hazy.
- 5If a second pool isn't essential, compare this property against the jacuzzi or spa-pool combos, where more New Delhi hotels are tagged.
- 6Confirm which pool, spa or outdoor, is open on arrival day, since seasonal maintenance schedules aren't listed in the available evidence.
