Pick The Granite if you want a George Town base with a large review base: 4.4 on Google from 1715 reviews. Its rooftop pool has no published floor, hours or access rules, so ask first.
The pool
The Granite is a 4-star hotel on Jalan Magazine in George Town with a rooftop pool. The hotel's own facts give no floor, hours or pool size. The catch is that nothing about access is published.
Our take
The Granite has the biggest review count of the four hotels here, 1715 on Google at 4.4, which makes its rating more settled than Muntri Grove's 4.5 from 328. That says nothing about the pool, though.
The honest downside is the blank page. With no floor, hours or visitor rules from the hotel, a swim is hard to schedule. G Hotel Kelawai and Fifth Avenue Hotel sit higher on our list, and Fifth Avenue is the one that says guests only.
Good to know

Tips
- Ask for the pool's hours when you reserve, since the hotel lists none.

Before you go. Ask the hotel to confirm the pool is on the roof, and what hours it runs.
