Book Cape Diamond if you want a guests-only rooftop pool in the city centre and don't need to know the floor. Non-guests are out, and heating isn't published.
The pool
Cape Diamond Boutique Hotel has a rooftop pool for hotel guests. It sits at 117 Longmarket St, Cape Town City Centre. The floor and heating aren't published. Non-guests have no listed way in.
Our take
Cape Diamond is the other city-centre guests-only pool alongside The Trade Boutique Hotel, and both leave the floor unpublished. Pullman Cape Town City Centre is also guests only but is listed as heated, which Cape Diamond isn't.
Guests-only access is the catch, along with unpublished heating. July and August highs are 17°C, so ask about heating before a winter booking.
Good to know
