Atlanta's hotel pool scene splits between Buckhead's five-star towers and downtown and midtown's skyline rooftops, with one outlier next to the Braves' stadium. Mandarin Oriental, Atlanta and InterContinental Buckhead Atlanta anchor the uptown side, while W Atlanta - Downtown and The Starling Midtown Atlanta run the rooftop bar-and-pool scene closer to the city center.
Prices range from $25 to $100 per person. Most passes include pool access, lounge chairs, and towel service, and a few, like Signia by Hilton's Summer Retreat package, bundle in a spa treatment or food and drink credit.
Nearly every pass here books through ResortPass rather than the hotel's own reservation engine. Atlanta's spa-forward luxury properties, like Four Seasons Atlanta and The Ritz-Carlton Buckhead, gate pool access behind a spa treatment instead of selling a standalone day pass, so they don't appear on this list. Reserve ahead, since weekend availability fills up fast.

Do you need to be a hotel guest to use a pool in Atlanta?
No. All eight hotels here sell day passes to non-guests, most through ResortPass, though a few also link out from their own site. Book ahead, then check in at the pool concierge or front desk with a photo ID matching the reservation name. Some higher-end properties, like Four Seasons Atlanta and The Ritz-Carlton Buckhead, only offer pool access bundled with a spa treatment rather than a standalone day pass.
Are Atlanta hotel pool day passes available year-round?
Most rooftop pools, like those at W Atlanta - Downtown, The Starling Midtown, and Signia by Hilton, run seasonally and scale back or close in colder months. Mandarin Oriental's indoor pool stays open year-round regardless of weather, making it the most reliable winter option. Check each hotel's current calendar before booking outside peak summer months, since some properties pause non-guest access altogether in the off-season.
Where to stay in Atlanta
Buckhead is the obvious base if you want polish: it's Atlanta's luxury shopping and dining district, and the Waldorf Astoria Atlanta Buckhead puts you in the middle of it with a full-service spa to pair with your pool day. For something smaller and more personal in the same neighborhood, The Burgess Hotel is Buckhead's lone independent boutique, with one of the city's better restaurants attached.
If you'd rather walk to dinner than drive, Midtown and its Poncey-Highland edge are more your speed. Hotel Clermont has retro character and a rooftop bar with skyline views, while FORTH Hotel Atlanta sits right beside Historic Fourth Ward Park for a newer, more straightforward option.
Downtown makes sense if you're in town for a convention or a game at Mercedes-Benz Stadium or State Farm Arena, since it's the most walkable base for those venues, but it's the least residential of Atlanta's areas after dark.
Mandarin Oriental, Atlanta
Mandarin Oriental, Atlanta sits at the top of Buckhead's high-rise cluster, and its pool stays indoors on a dedicated wellness floor rather than exposed on a rooftop deck.
Pool Day Pass (from $45). Access to the indoor pool from 6am to 9pm, the fitness center, and the yoga studio, with spa treatments bookable separately.
Book through the DayPass app or ResortPass, since the hotel's own site doesn't run its own reservation engine for the pass.

The Tess, Autograph Collection
The Tess, Autograph Collection opened as one of Buckhead's newer boutique hotels, and its adults-only rooftop pool trades a resort-style layout for close-up skyline views.
Pool Day Pass (from $30, plus a $20 food and beverage credit). Access to the rooftop pool from 8am to 8pm, with the credit covering drinks and light bites from the pool bar.
The pool skips children entirely, so this is a better fit for a couples or solo day out than a family visit. Book through ResortPass.

Signia by Hilton Atlanta
Signia by Hilton Atlanta sits downtown next to the Georgia World Congress Center, and its saltwater pool deck looks straight across at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

Both passes book through ResortPass, and the pool deck draws a game-day crowd on Falcons and Atlanta United match days, so expect it busier and pricier around events.

Hyatt Place Atlanta/Centennial Park

The Starling Midtown Atlanta, formerly W Atlanta - Midtown, keeps its rooftop terrace pool as the centerpiece of its Cabana Wet Deck scene.

Frequently asked questions
Do Four Seasons Atlanta or The Ritz-Carlton Buckhead offer a pool day pass?
No. Both properties gate pool access behind a spa treatment booking rather than selling a standalone day pass. Four Seasons Atlanta pairs a 50-minute treatment with pool, sauna, and steam room access, while The Ritz-Carlton Buckhead's Junior Olympic pool and whirlpool work the same way, so budget for a spa booking if either is on your list.
Do children get discounted pricing at Atlanta hotel pools?
Yes, at most properties. InterContinental Buckhead charges $20 for children versus $45 for adults, W Atlanta - Downtown charges $25 versus $50, and Omni Hotel at The Battery charges $30 versus $75. The Tess, Autograph Collection is the exception, an adults-only pool with no child admission at all.
What should I bring to an Atlanta hotel pool day?
Bring a photo ID matching your booking name, since front desks and pool concierges check it at entry. A swimsuit and sunscreen cover the basics, and a card for incidentals is worth carrying, since F&B service at most Atlanta pools bills separately from the day pass itself.
