Had to cancel your trip to the sun because of tourist restrictions? Don’t panic, some luxury Parisian hotels offer alternatives that will make you forget the pools and turquoise water of Bali. A look at the best hotels with outdoor pools in the French capital.
This summer, with the various restrictions imposed on international tourism to curb the pandemic, such as the American Travel Ban, it is unfortunately not possible in the state to fly to enjoy the pools of five-star hotels in Miami. However, there is no need to leave the capital to enjoy luxurious vacations and outdoor pools.
Hotel Molitor Paris
The Molitor Hotel is a sumptuous five-star hotel that boasts one of the most mythical pools in Paris, which boasts of being open until 10pm. Inaugurated in 1929 by Olympic swimmers Aileen Riggin Soule and Johnny Weissmuller, the pool of the Hotel Molitor in Paris includes a 50-meter pool in the open air, and a second, covered, 33-meter pool. Legend has it that it was in this pool that the bikini first appeared in 1946. The place regularly hosted galas, fashion shows, and was willingly transformed in the winter to allow French skaters to train for the Winter Olympic Games.
The pool of the Mercure Demeure de Campagne Parc du Coudray
Near the capital, in Coudray-Montceaux, the Mercure Demeure de Campagne Parc du Coudray‘s swimming pool is the ideal place for vacationers in need of adventure.
