Stay here for a heated 9th-floor rooftop pool and bar with fire pits, open daily from 9am. The hotel limits the rooftop to in-house guests, so a day pass is a risk.
The pool
On the 9th floor of The Barnett in the Warehouse District, the High Five Rooftop Pool & Bar has a heated pool with panoramic city and skyline views, and fire pits sit around the deck. The hotel lists the rooftop as in-house guests only.
Our take
The 9th floor puts it level with NOPSI's pool in the Central Business District and below Virgin's 13th. Virgin's rooftop bar welcomes non-guests aged 21+, but the Barnett's is closed to them on the hotel's own account, which is the real difference between the two.
Day passes are listed on Sky and Swim, but the price isn't shown, which sits against the hotel's in-house guests only line. If you want certainty, book a room. The whole hotel is non-smoking, e-cigarettes and vaping included, and that applies on the deck too.
