Consider Hotel Sky if a heated pool matters for a cooler-month visit and you want the Foreshore. Access rules and the floor are unpublished.
The pool
Hotel Sky Cape Town is at 9 Lower Long St in the Foreshore, an area described as within walking distance of the Waterfront. Its pool is listed as heated. The floor and access rules aren't published, so you can't yet tell whether non-guests can swim.
Our take
Pullman Cape Town City Centre and Hotel Sky are both listed as heated, but Pullman is guests only and Hotel Sky doesn't say. That gap is the downside here. A heated pool is useful when July and August highs sit at 17°C, yet it helps only if you can get in.
If heating drives your choice, Hotel Sky is a sound shortlist name. Confirm access in writing first, because nothing on a day pass or bar entry is published.
