A swimming pool on the gulf coast of Florida. I photoshopped all the people off the beach and everything else they left behind except one plastic cut and straw. This was the first in the series of three.

Second in the series this photograph shows a contrating background to photograph #01. Being a roof top pool in Dallas, Texas the beautiful ocean of the first photo has been replace by skyscrapers.

The third shot in my swiming pool series it shows a bit more sky than photograph #02. This is a roof top swimming pool in Las Vegas and will soon be torn down for an expansion of Freemont Street.

A small and discreet hotel in the heart of the city’s art and business precinct, the Adelphi is recognized as an award-winning architectural icon of Melbourne.

At the Adelphi, less is more, and it is essential that you have experienced something special, something refreshing and something very different.

Different? You can say that again. Yikes!

Pancea Orient Express Hotels have a number of hotel properties that are truly unique for their dramatic locations and incredible vistas. The Ubud Hanging Garden Hotel offers guests a pool experience like no other. Each of the 38 Villas has an infinity pool and a traditional pavilion for relaxing called a balé.

Perched adjacent to steep rice terraces looking out to a temple on the opposite hill, this extraordinary property’s individual Villas are all constructed in contemporary Balinese style with thatched alang-alang roofs.

Check out the view from one of the hotel’s private villas:

We don’t advocate hotel “funny business” here at HotelSplash.com, but if you’re in Krabi, Thailand and this is the resort pool next to your hotel…Whoa! That would be be hard to resist.

There are specific things that we look for when we post hotel swimming pool photos on HotelSplash.com. Cool looking rooftop vistas, dreamy looking facilities, exotic places, exotic hotel guests enjoying the hotel pool…things like that.

Sometimes we get lucky and find all of these things in one image - like this photo taken at the Banyan Tree Hotel in Bangkok.

My partner and I stayed at the Banyan Tree from the 8th October for 3 nights. Being a travel agent I am very fussy when it comes to hotel and like things to be executed ‘just so’ and I have to say I was blown away by the Banyan Tree.

The hotel is not the newest but is lovingly maintained and I got the impression that the staff are all justifyably pleased of their establishment…[TripAdvisor]

If it seems that we like rooftop hotel swimming pools here at HotelSplash.com, that would be because we LOVE rooftop swimming pools!

While we sympathize with hotel guests who dream of sunny vacations on sand-covered beaches (especially in winter), we like to point out that urban landscapes from high-up can also be just as breathtaking. Especially in Barcelona, Spain.

What Barcelona’s Majestic Hotel swimming pool lacks in “width”, is more than compensated for with this absolutely incredible view.

This hotel is right in the middel of the city, the rooms were ok, but what really makes this hotel is the roof garden, pool and bar. During the day and night you can see right into the heart of the city. Unfortanely the hotel lacks the glamour of the Arts. Be sure to ask for Steve the head bar man on the roof bar makes great cocktails…[TripAdvisor]
