Hong Kong’s scorching summer climate calls for relaxing afternoons at the beach or refreshing dips in a pool, with public pools being a go-to source of relief; but many hotels also boast stunning rooftop and clifftop pools for added cooling off pleasure.

From relaxing with a cocktail in hand to taking in scenic views of Victoria Harbour, hotel pools offer numerous ways to enjoy an enjoyable dip experience. Take a look at some of our favorites below.
