10 Architecturally Stunning Hotel Pools
When it comes to hotel design, building architecture tends to get a lot of the glory. But even as hotels and resorts up the ante with dramatic skyscrapers, charming farmhouses, and overwater bungalows, exteriors aren’t the only eye-catching structures to pay attention to.
Take, for example, the humble hotel pool. While in many cases, it’s simply a tiled rectangle, at some hotels, they come in intricate shapes, complete with features made from materials like quartzite stone, marine-grade steel plates, and shiny black granite. Many are designed by award-winning architects, from Bill Bensley to Peter Zumthor, who draw inspiration from places as diverse as ancient ramparts, a rainwater reservoir, and Angkor Wat temple in Cambodia. These are the most stunning architectural hotel pools to take a dip in around the world.
