Soda suits guests who swim early or late: the pool, sundeck and BBQ run 7am to 10pm, and the hotel says the pool is heated. It's for guests only, and hours can change.
The pool
Soda Apartments is at 27 Cordelia St, South Brisbane, and the pool is on its roof, with city views from the deck. It's an outdoor heated pool with a sundeck and BBQ area, open 7am to 10pm. The catch is that the hotel says hours may change, and it's guests only.
Our take
Soda publishes the longest pool hours of the guests-only hotels in this part of our list, and says plainly that the pool is heated. Hyatt Regency Brisbane is heated too but lists no hours. Soda's pool also comes with a BBQ area, which suits apartment-style stays.
The downside is that it's a 4-star apartment hotel with no day pass and no published floor. Check hours on the day you plan to swim, as the hotel says they may change.

Skip it ifYou aren't staying or you need a published floor.
Getting in
Only hotel guests can use the pool. No day pass or non-guest access is published.
The pool, sundeck and BBQ share the same 7am to 10pm hours. The hotel notes these may change.
Tips
- Book a stay that includes a Friday, Saturday or Sunday if you have kids: the outdoor kids' cinema on Level 5 shows movies on those days.
- Swim late in summer: the pool stays open until 10pm, and January highs average 30.4°C.
Before you go. Confirm the current hours with the hotel before your swim. It lists 7am to 10pm but says they may change.
