Rooftop Pool Hotels in Pattaya
6 Stays with Sky Pools
over the Gulf of Thailand!

Top score in this list at 9.2 from 1,999 reviews — Arbour Hotel and Residence is a 5-star downtown hotel that lifts its infinity pool to the 24th floor, with a rooftop bar right beside it, part of the At Mind group. What guests mention most is the 24th-floor deck, where the pool edge runs off into the skyline — the Gulf of Thailand on one side, the city's towers on the other — with a sand-floored lounge and bar to settle into. The hotel sits on Pattaya 3rd Road, about a 15-minute walk to Pattaya Beach and Walking Street. Rooms start around ฿2,200, good value for a rooftop pool of this height.

Amethyst Hotel Pattaya is a newer 4-star hotel whose draw is a rooftop infinity pool with a 180-degree view across the city's towers and the Gulf, scoring 9.4 from 210 reviews. It sits on Soi Buakhao 15, a dense run of restaurants and massage shops in central Pattaya. Guests single out the rooftop deck: an infinity-edge pool, sun loungers, a glass dome for photos, and a poolside bar, with the city lights and the curve of the bay both in frame at dusk. It's about a 10-minute walk to Pattaya Beach and Central Festival. Rooms run a bold deep-purple design.

Page 10 Hotel is a 4-star, 79-room hotel that puts its pool on the rooftop, with a poolside bar and greenery planted along the edge, scoring 8.9 from 379 reviews. It's on Pattaya 2nd Road, about a 5-minute walk to Pattaya Beach. Guests talk about the rooftop pool that looks out over the towers and city lights after dark, with sun loungers and a bar to order a drink up to the water. The plants ringing the pool make it feel more like a sky garden than a bare rooftop deck. Rooms are clean with comfortable beds, from around ฿2,600.

The Sanctuary Resort Pattaya (a BW Signature Collection hotel) is a 5-star resort on the Pratumnak hill with the Aquario rooftop pool facing the bay, Koh Larn in view, scoring 8.5 from 497 reviews. It's about 600 metres from Pratumnak Beach, away from the bustle of central Pattaya but a 10-minute ride into town. Guests mention the Aquario rooftop pool again and again — the edge runs off toward the sea, there's a jacuzzi at the rim, and because the hill faces west the sun drops straight into the bay at the end of the day. Many rooms have a balcony with a bay view.

Seaphere Pattaya (now branded Cross Vibe Pattaya Seaphere) is a 4-star hotel on Ban Amphur Beach in Na Jomtien with an 8th-floor infinity pool and a rooftop Sky Vibe Bar over the sea, scoring around 8.2. It's south of Pattaya, on a stretch of sand quieter than the city beaches. Guests mention the 8th-floor infinity pool whose edge runs off toward the bay, and the rooftop Sky Vibe Bar with a 180-degree sea view that comes into its own at sunset. The design is modern, there are free bicycles, and it suits anyone who wants a quiet beachfront stay that still has a sky pool.

Seven Zea Chic Hotel is a 3-star downtown hotel with an 8th-floor rooftop pool looking over the bay, from the low ฿1,000s, with a Booking score of 7.8. It's on Soi 5 off Pattaya Road, about a 10-minute walk to the beach. Guests mention the 8th-floor rooftop pool that catches the curve of Pattaya Bay and the boats at anchor in the evening — a sunset spot a lot of people like. To be straight about it: this isn't a luxury hotel, the rooms and pool are on the small side, and some sea-view rooms are partly blocked by the building next door — but for a rooftop pool with a bay view on a budget, it's a hard combination to find in Pattaya.
