Book here if you want the roof without a room: non-guests can get in from 19:30, which no other pool on our list offers. Ask the hotel for the price and floor when you reserve, as neither is published.
The pool
The rooftop pool sits above the Arno side of Florence at Lungarno della Zecca Vecchia, with 360-degree views over the rooftops and the Duomo. It is open in the summer season; the hotel doesn't publish exact dates or the floor. The catch is the 19:30 start for visitors.
Our take
Plaza is our pick for anyone who can't or won't book a room. Grand Hotel Minerva lets non-guests up for drinks only, while Plaza opens the pool itself to visitors by reservation.
The downside is the clock. Visitors can't get in before 19:30, so this is an evening plan, and no price is stated. Hotel guests face no such limit, though their pool hours aren't published either.
Good to know
- Non-guest pool access from 19:30 by reservation
- Rooftop views through 360 degrees, Duomo included
- Open to hotel guests all summer season
The catches
- No price published for non-guest access
- Floor and season dates aren't published

Tips
- Reserve ahead for a June to August evening, the three best swim months in Florence.
- Ask the hotel for the visitor price and the length of the session when you reserve.
Before you go. Confirm the price and your dates with the hotel, since it says only that the pool runs in the summer season.
