Everything you need to know about Soho House rooftops and pools

Rooftop and pool season has arrived, and with it comes the taste of summer – the time of year where we’re well and truly in our element here at Soho House. With 18 rooftops across our Houses around the world (and 21 pools in total), members are spoilt for choice when it comes to sunset views, alfresco dining in the sky and, of course, a day well-spent on those all-important sunloungers. 

This year, we want you all to be well equipped with every bit of information you need ahead of another Soho House summer on our rooftops and by our pools. From DTLA’s Soho Warehouse to London’s 180 House, not to mention Soho House Rome and Barcelona, each of our rooftops and pool areas has various opening hours, guest policies and other housekeeping rules worth familiarising yourself with to get the best out of your time. We’re also working on new ways to improve your overall experience at our rooftops and pools by making the booking process easier than ever this summer – including securing your spots via the Soho House app (stay tuned). 

We’re also working on new ways to improve your overall experience at our rooftops and pools by making the booking process easier than ever this summer. At many of our Houses you can now secure a place by selecting ‘Poolside’ in the Book section of the Soho House app; the availability is listed and you can opt in for notifications so you can grab a slot as soon as the bookings open. Members can cancel at any time and you have a grace period of 15 minutes to arrive.

Our rooftops and pools have been the setting for some pretty memorable moments, from iconic live shows and Night Swim parties, to long days spent hanging with friends and making new ones – and we’re ready to do it all again this summer. But first, make note of the various need-to-knows about your local Soho House rooftops and pools.
