Naples swims best from June to August, and the rooftop pools here are a summer plan. Each of the 5 hotels we cover has a rooftop pool, but only Romeo Hotel publishes who can use it: guests only. The other four don't state their access rules.
Our first pick is Romeo Hotel: a 10th-floor infinity pool, a 9th-floor plunge pool, and published hours of 9:00 to 19:00 for guests only. The easiest to plan around is LHP Napoli Palace, which publishes its season: the rooftop pool and whirlpool close in November and reopen in mid-April.
Infinity pool on the 10th floor, guests only, open until 19:00

Hotels you might expect here, and why they're not
These hotels come up in Naples searches, but the facts we have show no rooftop pool: they have a rooftop bar, a terrace, a ground-level pool or a spa pool.
Grand Hotel Vesuvio. Sources describe a 9th-floor rooftop restaurant and a 10th-floor terrace bar, but none mention a swimming pool.
Hotel NH Napoli Panorama. None of the three sources mentions a swimming pool at all, so no rooftop pool can be confirmed. Status set to not-rooftop because no pool is evidenced.
UNA Hotels Napoli. None of the sources mention a swimming pool. The hotel's sources describe only a rooftop bar and restaurant with a panoramic terrace, which the rules classify as not-rooftop.
Montespina Park Hotel. The hotel's own site describes the pool as ground-level, surrounded by a tiled patio in a park, not on a roof or top-floor terrace. The Google Maps listing only says "Outdoor swimming pool".
B&B HOTEL Napoli. The hotel's own site describes a panoramic terrace for guests with Vesuvius views but never mentions a swimming pool. The Google Maps listing gives only the name and address. No pool is stated in any source, so this is not a rooftop pool.
Gold Tower Lifestyle Hotel - Napoli. The hotel's rooftop terrace (Terrazza Ramè) is described as a lounge bar and restaurant with panoramic views, with no pool mentioned. The only pool found is an indoor hydromassage pool in the Gold Spa wellness circuit, which is a spa pool, not a rooftop pool.
Residence Inn by Marriott Naples North. Sources describe an outdoor pool in a courtyard (Innenhof) with no roof mention. The Google Maps listing is an Italian property (Gricignano di Aversa) and the resortpass snippet doesn't name this hotel, so both were excluded.
Eurostars Hotel Excelsior. Neither source mentions a swimming pool at this hotel. The hotel's site describes a sea-view terrace, but no pool is stated, so it cannot be confirmed as a rooftop pool.
