Stay at The Restoration if you want a rooftop pool for registered guests and a rooftop bar that anyone can visit. The pool's floor and hours aren't published by the hotel.
The pool
Up on the roof of The Restoration in Harleston Village, the pool has sweeping city views over downtown Charleston. Striped umbrellas, towels and poolside service come with it. The floor and hours aren't published, and only registered overnight guests can swim.
Our take
On the same roof, The Watch Rooftop Kitchen & Spirits is open to all guests and visitors. That gives non-guests a rooftop to visit in a way Hotel Bennett and The Cooper don't allow, though they still can't swim.
The catch is detail. The hotel publishes no floor, hours or heating policy, so a winter swim is a question to ask first.
Good to know
- Poolside service brings drinks to your pool chair
- Towels and striped umbrellas are provided
- The Watch rooftop bar is open to visitors
The catches
- Floor, hours and heating are not published
- Registered overnight guests only
Best forGuests who want poolside drink service and a bar their non-staying friends can visit.
Skip it ifYou need a published floor, hours or heating policy before you book.
Getting in
Swimming is limited to registered overnight hotel guests, and no day pass is sold.
The Watch Rooftop Kitchen & Spirits, on the same roof, is open to all guests and visitors, so non-guests can reach the roof for a drink but not the water.
Tips
- Order a chilled drink to your pool chair through poolside service.
- Meet friends who aren't staying at The Watch rooftop bar rather than the pool.
Before you go. Check pool hours and whether it is heated with the hotel, since neither is published.
