Just Keep Swimming During Your Staycation At These Hotels With Pools

The temperate-controlled swimming pool at JW Marriott is located on the rooftop of the hotel. So enjoy the Bangalore breeze as you lazily swim or take a serious lap or two around the pool. Plus, there's a bar by the poolside that you can head to after your swim to enjoy some cocktails. Oh and plus, the cabanas are perfect for you to enjoy a sunny day out by the pool. We hear that they host aqua fitness classes on request.

If you are not going to Shangri-La for their spa, then you ought to be going for their outdoor temperature-controlled swimming pool. But that's not all. They also have a steam bath, sauna and Jacuzzi. So really, you can be the water baby you know you are fully. For those who are into fitness, the hotel hosts Aqua Zumba sessions on Fridays. Oh and lest we forget, Shangri-La is one of those hotels with swimming pools that are open in the evenings, so if you want a night's swimming, you can do so. 

The rooftop swimming pool at the hotel is a great breakaway for all your IT folks in the Whitefield corridor. If you are not swimming, then you can chill by the Whitefield Bar & Grill and have a sundowner by yourself or whoever you are with. Oh and plus, nothing like sipping on wine by the pool in the evening and catching the sunrise, right? We also love that even though it's on the rooftop, there's greenage all around, so it's like a mini tropical setting. 

Sunbathe or have a leisurely swim in the evening, the swimming pool at The Leela Bhartiya City is an infinity pool that overlooks the Bhartiya City greenage (and during the pink blossom season, it's a sight to behold while you take your lap). You'll love that the pool has a transparent bottom so it's almost like you're floating in the air even though you are in water. The Lotus Oriental is adjacent to the pool and you can dig into barbecued duck in lotus leaf or Yuzu lemon curd tart ice cream post your swim. 

Grand Mercure in Koramangala is one of the go-to spots for folks in the neighbourhood when they want a swim. Their pool is small but does the job and gives you that space to just float like an otter. Plus, an adjoining kiddy pool is there too so if you have a little one, they can have a splash too.  Head here on Sundays for the poolside brunch which allows you to use the pool too.

The swimming pool at Clarks Exotica is one of the best we've been to because they have not one, but three slides. Yes! A swimming pool with slides is the stuff of our dreams. So go indulge your inner child while you are here for a day trip or on a staycation. Plus, there's a pool bar as well, so once you have done feeling like a child, you can go have an adult drink. 

 Angsana Oasis Spa & Resort is touted to be India's sole Banyan Tree property and that's something. Their generously sized pool and dedicated kids' pool should ensure that whether you are coming with the family or solo staycation, you have enough pool for everyone. Once you are done with your merpeople routine, you can head to Sundance – The Bistro or Tangerine for a meal. Don't miss out on the spa.

Hilton Bangalore Embassy GolfLinks is nestled inside a tech park and they have a stunning pool that you can make sure of all through the day. Whether you are staying there short term or long term, be sure to book yourself a table a Seta, that offers poolside dining as well. Plus, don't miss out on the array of amenities, including a state-of-the-art gym, and a luxurious spa. 

At Sheraton Grand Bangalore Hotel at Brigade Gateway, there's an infinity pool and a kid's pool that offers scenic views of Malleswaram. Once you have spent your time being a dolphin or an otter, you can head to The Persian Terrance, the rooftop fine dining restaurant, where you can enjoy kebabs to whatnot. Plus, private cabanas in the evening are perfect for enjoying the Bangalore night sky.
