Hotels in Madrid
Madrid hotels with a pool or spa cluster around Gran Via, Plaza Mayor and the Royal Palace, from a palace spa to rooftop baths. Ten hotels, all in the Centro district.
Hotels in Madrid with a pool or spa are concentrated in the Centro district, within a short walk of Plaza Mayor, Gran Via and the Royal Palace. Our ten listed stays range from a four-star hotel with a hot tub next to its gym to five-star addresses with a wellness centre, an indoor pool or a rooftop pool. Madrid has hot, dry summers and cool winters, so the choice between indoor water, a seasonal rooftop pool and a spa matters more here than in a beach town.

Local tips
- Stay near Gran Via if you want Metro access in a few steps, as at Hotel Montera Madrid and Brach Madrid.
- Choose the streets around Plaza Mayor for sights on foot: UMusic Hotel Madrid and Pestana Collection Plaza Mayor are both close.
- Pick a hotel with an indoor pool or spa for winter trips, since rooftop pools such as the one at Palacio de los Duques are seasonal.
- Plan pool time for late afternoon, after the museums, and keep dinner for after nine when Madrid kitchens get going.
- Look at Barrio de las Letras, around CoolRooms Palacio de Atocha, for a quieter base 800 metres from Puerta del Sol.
- Allow for the airport run: Adolfo Suarez Madrid-Barajas Airport is roughly 12 to 14 km from the listed hotels.
Where to stay
FAQ
Which neighbourhood is best for a Madrid hotel with a pool?
Centro is the practical answer, since all ten hotels in our listings are there. Stay around Gran Via for Metro access, near Plaza Mayor and Puerta del Sol for the old centre, or in Barrio de las Letras for the Prado and a calmer street at night.
Do Madrid hotels with a pool have outdoor rooftop pools?
Several do. Palacio de los Duques has a seasonal rooftop pool, VP Plaza España Design is tagged for a rooftop pool, and Four Seasons, Hotel Montera Madrid and Urban Hive describe rooftop swimming pools. Seasonal means you should confirm opening dates before a winter or spring stay.
Is a Madrid hotel with an indoor pool worth it in winter?
Yes, when you travel between November and March. Winters are cool and dry, and an indoor pool with a sauna, as at Brach Madrid or Four Seasons Hotel Madrid, gives you water without depending on the weather. In summer the rooftop options take over.
How far are the pool hotels from Madrid airport?
The hotels that list a distance sit roughly 12 to 14 km from Adolfo Suarez Madrid-Barajas Airport, for example Four Seasons and Brach Madrid at 12 km and Pestana Collection Plaza Mayor at 13.8 km. Several of them list an airport shuttle, so ask about the transfer when you book.
What is the best time of year to visit Madrid for a pool stay?
Late spring and early autumn give warm days and fewer extremes, while July and August bring the hottest weather and the best rooftop pool conditions. Winter suits indoor pools and spas. Pick the season by pool type, then check each hotel's opening dates.
Where should I stay in Madrid for sights and a pool?
Plaza Mayor and the streets around it put you near Mercado San Miguel, the Royal Palace and Puerta del Sol. UMusic Hotel Madrid is a 3-minute walk from Plaza Mayor, while Catalonia Plaza Mayor is within ten minutes of the Prado and the Thyssen-Bornemisza museums.
