Pullman is the pick for heated water plus a rooftop bar under one roof, right in town. Swimming is for in-house guests only.
The pool
The heated pool at 22 Riebeek St is for in-house hotel guests. Above it, Ghibli Rooftop Bar has skyline views, cocktails and light bites, and the rooftop deck hosts morning yoga classes. No floor is published for the pool.
Our take
Pullman is the heated option in the city centre. The Trade, a few streets away on our list, doesn't publish its heating, so Pullman is the safer bet for a swim in the cooler months.
The catch is access: the pool is for in-house guests, and no day pass or hours are published. The bar is a separate matter, with cocktails and light bites at Ghibli. For a swim without staying, Cloud 9 is the alternative.
Good to know
- Heated pool, stated by the hotel
- Ghibli Rooftop Bar with skyline views
- Morning yoga classes on the rooftop deck
The catches
- In-house guests only
- Pool hours and floor aren't published
