A room is the price of entry here: the rooftop infinity pool is kept for guests, which the hotel describes as a serene escape, and it says the pool has Penang skyline views.
The pool
This 5-star hotel on Lebuh Macallum in George Town has an infinity pool on the roof. The hotel describes skyline views over Penang. It doesn't publish the floor, hours or whether the water is heated.
Our take
Fifth Avenue is one of the guests-only pools on our list, and it says so. OZO George Town also restricts the pool to guests but markets it for families as well as quiet time. Here the hotel's own wording points to calm.
Detail is thin. The hotel gives no floor, hours or heating information, and nothing for people who aren't staying. Without a room, this pool isn't an option.
