Choose The Ellison when you're already booking a room and like a bar beside the pool, with city skyline views. Only guests swim, and the published hours run Thursday to Saturday.
The pool
The Ellison's pool is on the roof of a 120-room boutique hotel in Central Oklahoma City, with a rooftop bar beside it. It looks over the city skyline. The hotel doesn't name the floor, and it lists no Sunday hours.
Our take
On our list this is the pick for an overnight stay with a bar next to the pool. The Ellison publishes its hours, which the Ambassador doesn't, though it is guests-only where the Aloft Quail Springs sells day passes.
The catch is the schedule. The pool opens Thursday and Friday from 4pm, and Saturday from 11am. Nothing is listed for Sunday, and heating isn't published by the hotel, so winter swims are a gamble. December and January highs average 10.2°C and 9.6°C.
Good to know
- 120 rooms, so a boutique-sized guest list
- Rooftop bar sits with the pool
- Published hours Thursday to Saturday, to 11pm
The catches
- Open to guests only; the hotel mentions no day pass
- No Sunday hours listed; heating isn't published
Best forOvernight visitors staying Thursday to Saturday who want a rooftop pool with a bar.
Skip it ifYou can't book a room, or need a Sunday swim.
Getting in
Swimming is limited to hotel guests. The hotel mentions no day pass, so non-guests should assume they can't get in.
One child aged 18 or under stays free with a booking. The hotel doesn't publish a separate age rule for the pool.
Tips
- Aim for Saturday, when the pool opens at 11am instead of 4pm.
- If you need a Sunday swim, ask the hotel before booking, since no hours are listed.
Before you go. Ask about Sunday hours and heating before you book. The hotel publishes neither, and Oklahoma City's best swim months are June to August.
