Top 7 Best Pool Options For a Hot Day in Montreal
Where to Find the Best Bachelor-Approved Pools in Montreal (Even Without a Vegas-Style Pool Party Scene)
Montreal isn’t known for its blowout Vegas-style pool parties, but that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy a luxury rooftop, sexy atmosphere, and some drinks in the sun with your boys. Whether you’re kicking off the bachelor weekend, recovering from a wild night, or looking to host topless entertainment without the stress of club rules, there are smart ways to tap into Montreal’s private pool scene. From rooftop lounges to spas to penthouse rentals, these are the best options for a pool party vibe—even without the official "party." Book a cabana, grab some cocktails, and let the girls come to you.
1. William Gray Hotel – Terrasse William Gray & Rooftop Pool
Located in Old Montreal, the William Gray Hotel is a go-to for bachelor parties that want a sleek, elevated poolside experience without having to stay overnight. Their spa offers limited day-pass access to the rooftop pool when you book a massage or body treatment. That means you can enjoy the stunning skyline views, cocktails, and chilled beats without committing to a full hotel stay. The public rooftop terrace draws a trendy, well-dressed crowd and is perfect for daytime pregames or a relaxing afternoon before the chaos of the night kicks in. For something extra, consider reserving a group spa package, then heading up to the terrace to toast the groom.

2. Hôtel Bonaventure – Secret Rooftop Pool
Tucked away downtown, Hôtel Bonaventure offers one of the best-kept secrets in the city: a year-round heated rooftop pool surrounded by 2.5 acres of landscaped gardens. While technically reserved for hotel guests, day passes are sometimes available if you go for brunch or inquire about spa packages. This is the spot to detox in peace, float under the sun, or nurse a hangover in style. The space includes a hot tub, towel service, sauna, and showers—everything you need for an easy, stress-free recovery day. It’s not the loudest or flashiest option, but it’s a bachelor party sleeper hit. Go with a chill mindset, grab some drinks after brunch, and soak it up with your crew.

3. W Montreal – WET Deck Rooftop Pool & Day Parties
If you're looking for something closer to a Vegas pool party, the W Montreal’s WET Deck is your best shot. Located downtown near Victoria Square, this boutique-style rooftop features a plunge pool, cabanas, bottle service, and DJ events throughout the summer. It’s not open to the public daily, but you can often get access via guest list, event RSVPs, or by booking a VIP booth or cabana. The scene leans younger, stylish, and energetic—perfect for a groom squad that wants to start partying in the sun before dinner and clubbing. For the full experience, keep an eye on their social media or call ahead about upcoming events and private bookings.

4. Hotel Nelligan – Terrasse Nelligan
Hotel Nelligan doesn’t have a pool, but don’t let that stop you. Its rooftop terrace is one of the most iconic in Old Montreal, offering upscale cocktails, amazing sunset views, and a crowd that knows how to dress. It’s a top-tier spot for pre-drinks before heading to a club or back to your Airbnb for entertainment. The terrace has bottle service, VIP seating, and a solid menu, and while it may not be a full pool party, the atmosphere is just as fun and photogenic. It’s a classy move that still fits a cheeky bachelor energy, especially if you’re rolling with a mixed group or keeping things semi-respectable before the madness begins.

5. Perché – Rooftop Lounge Above William Gray
Perché is another no-pool option that still brings serious bachelor party energy. Located on the rooftop above the William Gray Hotel, this stylish lounge is known for its tropical decor, premium cocktails, and a social, summer-loving crowd. It’s the type of place where you show up looking sharp and leave with new friends (or party invites). Great for warm-ups before a night out, or for kicking back with a bottle under the Montreal sky, Perché feels exclusive but isn’t overly pricey. Book a booth, split a few bottles, and enjoy the rooftop energy while the sun sets. It also pairs perfectly with a topless waitress meet-up before heading out.

6. Book an Airbnb with a Private Pool or Rooftop Hot Tub
If you really want to let loose without venue rules, book a baller Airbnb with a private pool or rooftop hot tub. Areas like Plateau, Old Port, or Griffintown have luxury lofts and penthouses with killer terraces—some with full-on pools, others with jacuzzis and skyline views. This is the move if you're hiring topless waitresses or private dancers and want full control of the night. No noise complaints, no bar closing hours, and no judgment. You can pregame, party, and wind down all in one place. Just make sure you check the house rules and always respect the space—you want to party hard, not get booted.

Tip: Search "pool," "hot tub," and filter by location + price for best results.
7. Bota Bota Spa-Sur-L’Eau
Bota Bota is not a party spot, but it’s one of the most unique spa experiences in Montreal. This floating spa on the St. Lawrence River has a circuit of saunas, cold plunges, and hot baths that make for an ideal recovery day after a big bachelor night. There’s also a wine bar, riverside lounging areas, and a quiet vibe that your crew might actually appreciate the morning after. Perfect if you're the type of group that wants to mix hedonism with a little self-care. Book the water circuit online in advance, especially on weekends, and show up ready to chill and reset.
