A capital crossed by the Seine, Paris hides its hotel pools: most are in basements, under glass roofs or in spas. Palace hotels and boutique hotels have made them a selling point, with heated indoor pools open all year round. The selection ranges from the grand establishments of the Right Bank to simpler places in the outer arrondissements. I've selected 28 places, all rated at least 8/10; the top-rated is Four Seasons Hotel George V (9.9/10).
Each city has its own selection, with a page for each type of accommodation.
Places are ranked from highest to lowest rated. The yellow bubble shows the advertised water temperature, when it's known.

These places don't have a confirmed heated pool, but they do have a hot tub: the water is hot all year round. A good way to relax in the warm.
These places were suggested to us directly by their owners. The heated pool is declared by them; they don't yet have enough guest reviews to join the selection.
In my selection, the top-rated is Four Seasons Hotel George V (Hotel (palace)), with 9.9/10 (73 reviews · Trip.com). Next come Hôtel Eiffel Blomet (8.9/10) and L'Hôtel du Collectionneur (8.8/10).
Yes at Molitor Hôtel & Spa - MGallery: the pool is advertised as heated all year round. Four Seasons Hotel George V, Hôtel Eiffel Blomet and L'Hôtel du Collectionneur have an indoor pool, sheltered from the wind. Either way, ask for the heating dates before you book.
Advertised temperatures: 29 °C at L'Hôtel du Collectionneur, 31 °C at Ritz Paris and 30 °C at Le Burgundy Paris. For the other places the temperature isn't published: ask the property.
Yes: Mandarin Oriental Lutetia, Le Burgundy Paris and Hôtel Fouquet's Paris also have a hot tub in addition to the heated pool.
The word "heated" on a booking page isn't enough. Every place must have a rating of at least 8/10 (or 4/5) and carries one of these four levels.
Guests mention the heated water in their reviews, with the season when they say so.
A journalist or guide who stayed there describes the heated pool.
The hotel or the platform says so, but I haven't yet found a review that confirms it.
Heating isn't specified, but the water is sheltered from the wind and cold air. Ask for the temperature before you book.
I left these out because guests report water colder than advertised, or because no heating or indoor pool is mentioned.
