Dive into the Only Rooftop Pool in Times Square

There's no shortage of New York hotels with swimming pools, but Margaritaville Resort Times Square delivers something entirely different, the only outdoor rooftop pool in Times Square, infused with laid-back luxury and tropical flair.

The Unique Appeal of Margaritaville's Rooftop Pool

The pool's design captures the spirit of escape, from turquoise waters and breezy palm-frond décor to skyline views that remind you you're still in the city. Lounge chairs and umbrellas create a beachy atmosphere, while the surrounding energy of Times Square fades into the background. You're still in NYC, but it feels like miles away.

Guests consistently rave about the experience:

• "To be able to relax poolside right in the heart of Times Square is something everyone should get to experience." Jessica H.
• "This was a different island experience. The tropical vibe could make you forget you were in the middle of the concrete jungle." Jackine L.

Amenities and Services

Everything about the rooftop pool at Margaritaville Resort Times Square is designed to deliver a seamless, city-meets-island escape. Whether you're planning to sunbathe, swim, or sip something frozen, the amenities here keep things easy and breezy.

Settle into a plush lounge chair under the shade of an umbrella, or upgrade to one of the private cabanas available for rent, perfect for groups or anyone looking to stretch out in style. Fresh towels are always on hand, and LandShark Bar & Grill provides full poolside service, so you can enjoy burgers, fish tacos, and tropical cocktails without ever needing to change out of your swimsuit.

Year-Round Relaxation

The pool is heated and open year-round, offering a rare opportunity to take a dip in the middle of Times Square, whether you're catching summer rays or cozying up during NYC's colder months.

While the rooftop pool is reserved for hotel guests, a limited number of day passes and cabana rentals are available to non-guests through ResortPass, perfect for locals or visitors looking to dip into island time without an overnight stay.

Complementary Experiences

The rooftop pool sits just steps from LandShark Bar & Grill, ideal for casual eats between swims. Throughout the summer, guests can also enjoy live music, seasonal drink specials, and easygoing entertainment, all designed to extend the tropical escape vibe.

Whether you're starting your morning with poolside coffee or closing out the day with frozen drinks and sunset tunes, the pool deck is where your New York vacation officially shifts into Margaritaville mode.

Why Margaritaville Stands Out Among NYC Hotels with Pools

Very few hotels in Times Square offer a pool at all, Margaritaville Resort Times Square is the only one with an outdoor rooftop pool, making it a true oasis above the city.

It's the only resort-style destination in the heart of Manhattan, and it shows from the moment you check in to the second you're sipping something tropical six floors above the city. The rooftop pool is rare, relaxing, and primarily reserved for guests, so you're never fighting the crowds for a lounge chair. Whether you're visiting in peak summer or sneaking in a winter escape, the pool's year-round, heated design makes it a standout.

Beyond the water, the resort's tropical programming adds to the experience, think live music, frozen cocktails, and breezy vibes that lean into laid-back luxury. Dining is also a cut above the usual hotel fare, with four unique outlets, including LandShark Bar & Grill for poolside eats and the 31st-floor 5 o'Clock Somewhere Bar with skyline views that steal the show.

But don't just take our word for it. Here's what one recent guest had to say:

“The best part of our experience was the amazing, kind, and accommodating staff! The hotel is top notch: impeccably clean, comfortable air conditioning, spacious room with fantastic shower. The rooftop pool and bar with restaurants are an added bonus. Perfect location by Times Square. We highly recommend. We will definitely return!”

It's this kind of hospitality, location, and one-of-a-kind amenities that set Margaritaville apart from every other Times Square hotel with a pool.

Planning Your Stay at Margaritaville Times Square

While all hotel guests enjoy pool entry, special promotions and seasonal packages may include discounted or complimentary poolside drinks, depending on your travel dates, so keep an eye out when booking.

To make the most of your stay, arrive early, pack your flip-flops, and bring your favorite sunnies, because at Margaritaville, it's always 5 o'clock somewhere (and the rooftop is waiting). And if you forget anything, no stress, the Margaritaville Store in the resort has all your staycation staples, from coozies and sunglasses to island-inspired apparel and souvenirs.
