Choose The Royal Garden if you want laps on the rooftop: the Sky Pool is 25 metres long and faces Victoria Harbour. The hotel doesn't publish access rules, so treat swimming as a guest perk until it says otherwise.
The pool
The Sky Pool is on the hotel's rooftop in Tsim Sha Tsui East, 25 metres long, with a Mediterranean-inspired design and a recent refresh. Poolside lounge chairs face Victoria Harbour. The floor, hours and access rules aren't published.
Our take
Among our rooftop pools, a stated length of 25 metres makes this one of the few where swimming laps is a realistic plan. Harbour Grand Kowloon is longer at 27 metres, but it publishes a floor and guests-only access, which this hotel doesn't.
The downside is missing detail: no floor, no hours, no day pass listing. Tsim Sha Tsui East is also quieter than main TST, a 15-20 minute walk from it, with fewer restaurant options.
Good to know
