Pick this aparthotel for a heated pool on the roof in the city centre, and plan to stay to use it. Few pools on our list are heated, and the rooftop bar looks at Table Mountain.
The pool
This aparthotel at 91 Plein St in the city centre has a heated pool on its roof. A rooftop bar next to it overlooks the city, with views of Table Mountain. The hotel doesn't publish a floor number or a day pass.
Our take
Heating matters in Cape Town, where July highs average 17C against 27C in January. This aparthotel gives you a reason to swim outside the January to March window. The Silo and Pullman are other heated pools on our list, and both are also guests only.
The catch is access. The hotel lists no day pass, so the pool is for people staying in the apartments. Opening times aren't published either, so ask before you plan around an evening swim.
Good to know
- Heated rooftop pool
- Rooftop bar with Table Mountain views

Getting in
The pool is for hotel guests. The aparthotel lists no day pass, so a booking is the only route.
Age rules and pool hours aren't published. Google Maps lists it as self-catering accommodation, so you book an apartment.
Tips
- Ask at booking for the pool hours, since the hotel doesn't publish them.
- Plan a winter stay here if you still want to swim, as the pool is heated.
Before you go. Confirm pool hours and any age rules with the hotel before you book, because neither is published.
