Choose this one if you want to swim and have a drink on the same roof, with panoramic views over Las Palmas. The pool is small and unheated, so it suits the warm months best.
The pool
This 4-star hotel on Calle León y Castillo has its pool on the roof (azotea), next to the IBEX Rooftop Bar. It is a small outdoor pool with panoramic city views. The hotel says it is unheated; the floor isn't published.
Our take
Next to the two heated guests-only pools here, this is the one to book for summer. July to September is the best swim season in Las Palmas, and an unheated pool suits it better than December, when highs average 22.3°C.
Access is the downside. Who can swim isn't published, so don't assume the bar gives you a way in. Ask before you plan a visit around it.
Good to know
- Pool and IBEX Rooftop Bar on the same roof
- Panoramic views over Las Palmas
- Pool towel included
The catches
- Small, unheated pool
- Access rules aren't published
Best forSummer travelers who want to swim and have a drink on the same roof.
Skip it ifYou want a heated pool for a winter stay or a large pool for laps.
Getting in
Pool access rules aren't published by the hotel. Guests can presumably use it, but whether bar customers or day visitors can swim isn't stated, and no day pass is sold for it.
Contact the hotel before you go if you aren't staying.
Tips
- Plan the stay for July to September, the best three months to swim, since the pool is unheated.
Before you go. Ask the hotel whether non-guests, including IBEX bar customers, can use the pool, because it doesn't publish this.
