Pick this if you want room to swim laps. The hotel lists a heated 28-metre rooftop pool open 6:30am to 9pm, with a spa, loungers and cabanas. Non-guests can use it on a day pass.
The pool
Vibe's heated pool is outdoors on the roof in Docklands, with an adjoining spa. The hotel site gives its length as 28 metres and the hours as 6:30am to 9pm. The floor isn't published, and neither is the adult day-pass price on the pages we can quote.
Our take
Vibe is the other day-pass option on our list besides Le Méridien. It trades the Le Méridien session structure for long opening hours, so you choose your own time between 6:30am and 9pm.
The downside is that the hotel doesn't publish its floor, and the adult pass price isn't listed here. Children under 16 pay A$15 a day. Because the pool is outdoors, the best weather is December to February, when highs run from 24.8 to 27 degrees Celsius in the city.
Good to know
- 28 metres long, heated, with an adjoining spa
- Open 6:30am to 9pm
- Loungers and cabanas poolside

The catches

- Adult day-pass price isn't listed here
Best forSwimmers who want a longer heated pool and a spa on the same deck.
Skip it ifYou need to know the floor or the adult pass price before you book.
Getting in
Staying guests swim as normal. Everyone else needs a day pass, and the adult price isn't published on the pages we can quote.
Children under 16 pay A$15 per day to use the pool.
Tips
- Go for the 6:30am opening for laps, when the 28 metres are least likely to be shared with the cabana crowd.
- Poolside dining is delivered to sunbeds, so plan a meal on the deck instead of leaving.
Before you go. Confirm the adult day-pass price when you book, because it isn't listed in the details we can quote.
