Sky & Swim · TX
Dallas builds tall and looks good doing it — the city's rooftop pools sit high enough to make the flat Texas horizon feel like a feature, and a couple of them hang right out over the street.

Downtown Dallas stacked its best pools up top — infinity edges, glass ledges, and one that swims right out over the street. Six that earn the elevation.
Downtown's showpiece: a rooftop pool cantilevered eight feet past the building edge behind glass, so you swim out over Main Street ten floors up and look straight down. The single most distinctive pool in Texas.
A heated infinity-edge rooftop pool atop The National tower, with an open-air sweep of the downtown skyline, private cabanas, and poolside dining. Adults-only, and the polished, grown-up end of the Dallas rooftop scene.
The 75-foot top-floor pool turns a full 180 degrees across the Dallas skyline — a guests-only deck, cabanas, and the Pomelo pool bar. Among the newest and highest of the city's serious pools.
The 16th-floor WET Deck puts an infinity edge and a glass wall between you and the skyline, so you can swim right up to the view. A full bar, and the Victory Park energy below.
The Waterproof pool on the 19th floor is a rooftop scene with a panoramic downtown view, loungers, and cabanas (21+ up top; a quieter pool downstairs). A restored 1950s landmark with the roof to match.
The 1912 grande dame caps itself with a temperature-controlled rooftop pool deck — cabanas, a fire pit, a full pool bar, and downtown views from a genuine Dallas landmark.
