The pool
A resort-style outdoor pool fills a 7th-floor terrace at 400 Lavaca St, Downtown Austin. It overlooks downtown and Republic Square Park, with the Cabana Bar beside it. Hours vary by season and for private events.
Our take
ZaZa and 1 Hotel Austin, on the 16th floor, are the guests-only pools on our list that name a floor. ZaZa shares its 7th floor with the Fairmont, which sells day passes from $50. ZaZa sells none.
The catch is that evening public access covers the Cabana bar, and the hotel doesn't specify swimming. Hours shift with the season and now and then for private events, and poolside dining is seasonal. Confirm the pool is open on your dates.
Good to know
- Pool terrace on the 7th floor
- Panoramic views of downtown and Republic Square Park
- Cabana Bar beside the pool, open to non-guests in the evenings
The catches
- Hotel publishes no day pass for outside visitors
- Hours change with the season and private events
Best forGuests who want a 7th-floor deck with a bar beside it.
Skip it ifYou're not sleeping at the hotel but want to swim.
Getting in
Overnight guests are the only people the hotel clearly lets swim, and only during the day. Visitors who aren't staying can come for the Cabana bar in the evening, but the hotel doesn't say whether that includes the pool. It publishes no day pass.
Children are welcome with a supervising adult. Age limits may apply poolside at certain times. A group booking gets the pool to itself.
Tips
- Visit the Cabana bar in the evening if you aren't staying and want the view.
- Ask about hours when you book, since the season and private events can change them.
Before you go. Confirm pool hours for your dates, because they vary by season and private events.
