Choose Sofitel for a pool and a spa in the same stay at a 5-star CBD hotel. Access is for guests, and the hotel doesn't publish the floor, hours or heating.
The pool
Sofitel is at 249 Turbot St in Brisbane City, and the pool is on its roof. The hotel calls it a relaxed, chic rooftop pool and spa overlooking the CBD. The catch is how little is published: no floor, no hours, and no word on heating.
Our take
Sofitel pairs its pool with a spa, which no other entry here says about its pool. Emporium Hotel South Bank publishes its 21st floor and says its pool is heated. Sofitel gives you the mood but not the numbers.
The downside is the gaps. With no heating information, don't assume winter swimming: June and July highs are 21°C. Email the hotel before booking if the pool is your reason for staying.

Getting in
Hotel guests can use the pool. Sofitel publishes no day pass and no non-guest access.
The spa is described alongside the pool. Its own access rules aren't published, so ask the hotel directly.
Tips
- Plan swims for December to February, when highs run 29.6°C to 30.4°C in December and January.
- Ask the hotel for pool hours at check-in, since none are published.
Before you go. If you're visiting from May to September, ask whether the pool is heated. The hotel doesn't say.
