Book here for a swim and a cocktail at the same address. The 9th-floor pool sells day passes from $35 on ResortPass, and Above the Grid serves cocktails, beer and light bites above it.
The pool
NOPSI Hotel's pool sits on the 9th floor, on Baronne Street in the Central Business District. The hotel lists sweeping skyline views over the city, and the Above the Grid rooftop bar serves cocktails, beer and light bites. Heating isn't published.
Our take
NOPSI sits in the same price band as Le Méridien but costs $5 less for a day pass, and it publishes its floor, which Le Méridien's own pages don't. The Barnett is the other 9th-floor pool on our list, though its day-pass price isn't listed.
The catch is the missing heating information. In the cooler months (average highs of 18.2°C in December and 16.9°C in January) ask the hotel before you pay $35 for a swim.
