Pool day passes in Hanoi
Hanoi pool day passes from VND 300,000 (about $12) at four hotels open to non-guests. Rooftop views over Hoan Kiem Lake, West Lake pools, and full F&B credit.
Hanoi's pool day pass options cluster around West Lake in the Tay Ho district, where four hotels open their facilities to non-guests. The InterContinental Hanoi Westlake sits at the edge of the lake with open water views in three directions; Apricot Hotel offers a rooftop pool looking directly onto Hoan Kiem Lake in the Old Quarter. The city has fewer confirmed options than beach destinations, but the quality at the top end is high.
Passes run from VND 300,000 (about $12) at The Hanoi Club on a weekday to VND 650,000 (about $26) at the InterContinental on a weekend. Most options sit in the VND 400,000–550,000 range. The standout offer is the InterContinental's Wonder Summer pass, where the full admission price converts to F&B credit at hotel restaurants — no separate pool charge.
Book directly by phone or at reception on arrival; most Hanoi hotels don't list day passes on third-party sites. Call ahead on weekends to confirm capacity, particularly at the InterContinental. Da Nang has 10 confirmed options if you want more choice alongside beach access.
- InterContinental Hanoi Westlake — VND 550,000 weekday / about $22. Fully redeemable as F&B credit; best lake views in the city.
- The Hanoi Club — VND 300,000 weekday / about $12. Pool, gym, squash courts, and sauna for one price.
- Apricot Hotel — VND 400,000 / about $16. Rooftop pool above Hoan Kiem Lake in the Old Quarter.
- Hôtel du Parc Hanoi — VND 420,000 / about $17. Pool, jacuzzi, and sauna bundled into admission.

Can non-guests use hotel pools in Hanoi?
Most Hanoi hotels restrict pool access to registered guests, which is why the confirmed options on this list are limited compared to beach cities like Da Nang. The hotels above have all publicly offered non-guest day passes, but policies can change; calling ahead before the trip is worth doing regardless. On quiet weekdays, some hotels not listed here will accommodate a day-use request informally if the pool isn't full. It's worth asking directly.
InterContinental Hanoi Westlake
The outdoor pool sits at the edge of West Lake with open water views in three directions, one of the better pool settings in Hanoi. Wonder Summer Passes cost VND 550,000 on weekdays and VND 650,000 on weekends (about $22–$26), fully redeemable as F&B credit at any of the hotel's restaurants and bars, so admission converts entirely into a food and drinks budget. Pool hours run 07:00–19:00; buy your ticket at reception on arrival. Call +84 24 6270 8888 on busy weekends to confirm the pool hasn't reached capacity before making the trip.

The Hanoi Club
The Hanoi Club operates as both a boutique hotel and members' sports complex at the quieter end of Yen Phu Street on West Lake. Non-member day access reportedly covers the outdoor pool, gym, squash courts, and sauna for VND 300,000 on weekdays and VND 550,000 on weekends (about $12–$22), the most inclusions per pass of any option on this list. The vibe is adult-oriented and calm; not suited to young children or families looking for a relaxed resort atmosphere. These prices were last reported in 2020, so call ahead to confirm current rates before visiting.

Apricot Hotel
The rooftop pool at Apricot Hotel looks directly onto Hoan Kiem Lake, putting you above one of Hanoi's most iconic scenes with the lake, the pagoda, and the surrounding streets visible from your sunbed. Day passes cost VND 400,000 (about $16) and run 07:00–21:00. At 20m x 7m and 1.2m deep, it's a modest pool, but the location is hard to argue with: in the heart of the Old Quarter with 14 hours of access. A practical choice if you're spending the day in Hoan Kiem and want to retreat from the heat mid-afternoon.

Hôtel du Parc Hanoi
The outdoor pool at Hôtel du Parc comes with jacuzzi and sauna access in the same ticket, more than most Hanoi day passes bundle at this price point. Admission is VND 420,000 for adults (about $17), VND 210,000 for children aged 5–11, and free for children under four. The hotel opened pool access to non-guests in April 2025. It's a quieter property in the Hai Ba Trung district at 84 Tran Nhan Tong, less central than Apricot Hotel, but the three-facility package gives it better value for anyone planning a longer stay.

What's included in a Hanoi pool day pass?
Standard inclusions across most passes are pool access and sunbeds. Where they differ is what else comes with the ticket. The InterContinental's Wonder Summer pass converts entirely into F&B credit at hotel restaurants; the ticket price covers your food and drinks rather than adding a separate pool charge. Hôtel du Parc bundles jacuzzi and sauna access into the same VND 420,000 admission. The Hanoi Club adds gym, squash courts, and sauna to the pool. Apricot Hotel's pass is pool access only, though the Hoan Kiem Lake view is the obvious draw rather than facility breadth.
How to book a pool day pass in Hanoi
Book directly through the hotel's own reception, website, or by phone. Direct booking avoids aggregator fees, and it's the only reliable way to check same-day capacity, particularly at the InterContinental, which asks guests to call ahead on weekends. WhatsApp is widely used for hotel enquiries in Vietnam; The Hanoi Club and Hôtel du Parc typically respond quickly. Avoid third-party booking platforms for day passes in Hanoi, as most hotels don't list there or charge a premium through intermediaries.
Frequently asked questions
How far in advance should I book a pool day pass in Hanoi?
Same-day booking is usually fine on weekdays. On weekends, particularly at the InterContinental Hanoi Westlake, call ahead in the morning to confirm the pool hasn't hit capacity before making the trip across town. The Hanoi Club and Apricot Hotel rarely fill up, but it costs nothing to check.
Do Hanoi hotel pools allow children?
Hôtel du Parc Hanoi explicitly prices children into their day pass — VND 210,000 for ages 5–11 and free for under fours. Apricot Hotel's rooftop pool is 1.2m deep throughout, which makes it less suitable for small children. The Hanoi Club's adult-oriented sports club atmosphere is better suited to adults and older teenagers.
What's the best area for a pool day in Hanoi?
West Lake (Tay Ho district) has the most options and the most relaxed atmosphere — both the InterContinental and The Hanoi Club are here. Apricot Hotel is the better pick if you're already in the Old Quarter, with Hoan Kiem Lake visible directly from the pool deck.
