The best NYC hotels with hot tubs in rooms and on roofs

This opulent Williamsburg hotel opened in 2016 to rave reviews, thanks in part to its modern architecture, rooftop pool and dynamite views of the Manhattan skyline. Guests looking for an even more upscale experience should consider renting out the Vale Garden Residence, the hotel’s largest suite. The 1,320-square-foot indoor space is certainly gorgeous—hardwood floors and contemporary art stretch as far as the eye can see—but the spacious outdoor deck with an open-air Jacuzzi is the biggest draw.

Having undergone a $1 million makeover by Josh Held designs in 2015, the GuestHouse at Dream Downtown has the lavish addition of a glass-bottom Jacuzzi that’s accessible year-round (an enclosure is placed over the terrace during winter months). Along with this relaxing perk, the two-story, 2,500-square-foot duplex penthouse suite is adorned with a private garden terrace, fireplace, walk-in closet, champagne bar, a Savant home automation system and exclusive guest services ranging from a private barista to a sneaker stylist. Yes, really.

The Greenwich Hotel – owned by Robert De Niro no less – is located in the heart of bustling Tribeca, but you wouldn't know it once inside one of the 88 lush rooms and suites. Each has a unique personality and is sumptuously decked out with exotic materials from around the world. Splash out on a Superior King if you want that in-room soaking tub, or head down to the Shibui Spa for some Japanese-style relaxation. In-room treatments are also available upon request.

This luxury hotel in Midtown goes straight to the top—particularly with a rooftop terrace Jacuzzi that can accommodate up to five guests or residential tenants. Also on this block-long outdoor level, its garden terrace overlooks the city’s West Side and the Hudson River. Down on its lower floors, this sleek property contains various serviced apartments ranging from studios to penthouse rentals and room selections extending to their Marquis King, Broadway Double, Hepburn Suite and Marilyn Suite. The hotel also holds a 1,000-square-foot fitness center and is a five-minute walk to Times Square—but not close enough to be engulfed in the tourist frenzy.

With a palatial Art Deco lobby, sky-high lofted ceilings and marble floors, the Four Seasons is synonymous with splendor. Every room here feels luxurious, but the Manhattan Suite really takes the experience to the next level. The 1,100-square-foot (that’s bigger than some New York City apartments) features a custom-made king-size pedestal bed, Artemide chandelier, ziggurat ceilings and an Italian marble bathroom with a deep Jacuzzi tub.

Want privacy while you soak? Near Bryant Park, this small luxury property sets the stage for a replenishing stay with nine suites containing five-foot Kohler Jacuzzi tubs and stellar views of 44th Street. Additionally, each lavish suite is appointed with Italian marble bathrooms, Frette towels and robes and C.O. Bigelow bath products, Bose radios with iPod docks and multiple HD TVs.

For an effervescent in-room experience, this vibrant property in Chelsea features Jacuzzi tubs in two of its residential suites. First, its 1,000-square-foot Veranda Suite holds a twin-sink bathroom with a Jacuzzi, a king-sized bed, a living room with a separate furnished sitting area, a workspace with a half bathroom and a large private terrace. Then, there’s the 1,400-square-foot Eventi Suite with a Jacuzzi tub, a living and dining room with a table that can seat eight guests and a separate entertainment area. Oh yeah, and that’s also adjacent to a 3,000-square-foot veranda.

Given that the YO! company's first foray into the public sector was sushi, you won't be surprised to know their hotels – or Yotels – aren't exactly the most glamorous options on our list. However, even those operating on a budget need some R&R, so what better place than this futuristic modern stay that costs hundreds rather than thousands? Yotel is known primarily for its capsule rooms, but this Midtown location has suites too, and the First Class Junior King Suite has a hot tub on the private terrace.

Just a few blocks north of the Empire State Building, this Iberostar hotel would make an ideal choice for tourists who don’t want to brave the madness of Times Square. A stately stone facade gives way to contemporary interior design: Pops of color and modern artwork decorate the hotel’s lobby and rooms. Reserve the Premier Park Avenue rooms to take advantage of the in-room Jacuzzi tubs.
