Top Hotel Pools in Istanbul

On a hot day who wouldn’t want to take a dive into a gleaming turquoise pool with a view of the Bosphorus? In this article you will find your way to the most elegant and tasteful places to cool down, relax and get some tan during your stay in Istanbul. In all these establishments the following are included in their prices: dressing rooms, showers, a locker, a towel, a sunbed and a parasol included in their prices.

Swissotel The Bosphorus

With a constant 25 degrees Celsius heated pool and an open Jacuzzi, you do not need to wait for the weather to get sizzling hot. Open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. The hotel no longer publishes a pool-only day-pass price, and rates move often, so call ahead or ask at reception. Kids of 0-6 years old are welcomed free of charge and 6-12 year old kids get a discount of 50%. A specially designed children’s pool is located next to the pool.

Çırağan Palace Kempinski

You can feel like swimming in the historic depths of the Bosphorus since this facility is located on the shore. Open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. The hotel’s own site listed a pool-and-lunch package at 450 EUR as of September 2026 on its official page, though that is a bundled package, so confirm the entrance-only price directly with the hotel. Children have a separate pool. Kids between 0-6 years old are welcomed free of charge and 6-12 year old kids get a 40% discount. Be aware though, with complimentary favors such as bathrobes, cool towels and sunglasses cleaning services you may feel like a sultan.

Hilton Istanbul

Here you can swim in the pool of the very first five star hotel of Turkey. Their facilities are open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. The hotel does not consistently publish its pool day-pass prices and they move often, so check with the hotel directly before going. Kids of 0-3 years old are welcomed free of charge, kids between 3-6 years old get a 25% discount, and 6 years olds and upward are charged as an adult. There is a separate kids’ area with a wading pool.
