Best Condos with a Rooftop Pool in Denver
Now that we are officially in the summer season, there are two things that excite us here in Denver. One, we can all start wearing white, and two, it’s time for the pools to open.
While searching for a condo to purchase, my wife and I insisted that the building must include a pool. We scouted various buildings in Denver boasting rooftop pools, and below are some top contenders we discovered.
Best Condos in Denver with a Rooftop Pool
Barclay Towers
The Barclay Towers Pool, perched atop the high rise building in downtown Denver, offers a serene oasis on the sun deck. The panoramic views from this elevated rooftop pool deck are truly breathtaking. As you gaze outwards, you’ll be treated to a stunning vista that encompasses the entire city, allowing you to marvel at the urban landscape from every angle.

The Beauvallon’s rooftop pool area, nestled between the two towers on the 5th floor, offers a serene oasis surrounded by lush English gardens. Residents have the luxury of basking in the sunlight all day long, with an array of seating options and gathering areas where they can unwind with a captivating book or relish the company of good friends. It’s a perfect retreat for relaxation and leisure in the heart of the city.

Situated on the 8th floor nestled between the north and south towers, the pool deck treats guests to a breathtaking cityscape view. However, it’s worth noting that the pool deck bids adieu to the sun around 3 p.m., so snagging your preferred poolside spot early in the day is highly recommended for uninterrupted relaxation and enjoyment.
