Top 11 Madrid Hotels with the Pool: Best Rooftop Pools

Madrid is a great place to visit throughout the year, but it can get really hot in the summer season. So, with no seaside in the near proximity, it is essential to at least have a pool where you can refresh after a day of sightseeing. Therefore, in this blog post I am sharing with you my top 11 Madrid hotels with the pool. I made sure they’re all outdoor rooftop pools, so you can also enjoy the views.
