Go for the open-air deck: a rooftop pool above the city with poolside loungers, open daily 7 am to 5 pm. Heating and access rules aren't published, and it closes earlier than most.
The pool
This 4-star hotel on Muthithi Road has an open-air pool on the roof, with loungers and views above the city. Hours are daily 7 am to 5 pm. Whether it is heated isn't stated.
Our take
Golden Tulip is the open-air counterpart to Dusit Princess, whose roof pool is indoors under a skylight. Volcano Bar offers a rooftop setting with cocktails once you are out of the water.
The catch is the 5 pm close and the unpublished heating. Our best three months for swimming are January to March, with average highs of 26.9 in January, so an unheated open-air pool suits those months best.
