Rydges suits guests who want a heated pool in any month. The hotel says the level 23 rooftop pool is heated year-round with city views. It doesn't publish non-guest access, and the pool has no wheelchair access at present.
The pool
Rydges has its pool on level 23, on Exhibition St in the CBD, open year-round and heated. The hotel lists city views and a fitness centre alongside it. The catch is that the rooftop pool has no wheelchair access at present.
Our take
Rydges is the second-highest pool on our list that publishes its floor, behind Quincy on the 28th. Its stated edge is the season: year-round heating, which matters in a city where the best three months are December to February.
The downside is practical. The hotel doesn't publish access rules, so a non-guest can't plan on a swim, and wheelchair users should know the pool isn't accessible right now. Don't confuse it with Bossley Rooftop, the level two event terrace, which isn't the pool.

Getting in
Whether non-guests can swim, or a day pass exists, isn't published. Staying guests are the safe assumption.
Ask the hotel before you travel if you're not staying.
Tips
- Book for a cooler month if you want the pool when other outdoor decks are less appealing, since this one is heated all year.
- Look for the pool on level 23, not Bossley Rooftop on level two.
Before you go. Pool hours and non-guest access aren't published, so ask the hotel before you go.
