Choose this if you want to look out over the Straits and read afterward: the rooftop infinity pool has a gazebo beside it for coffee or a book. The hotel doesn't publish access rules.
The pool
This 5-star hotel on Gat Lebuh Gereja in George Town has an infinity pool on the roof, with sweeping views of the Straits. A poolside gazebo sits next to it. The hotel doesn't publish the floor, hours or who can swim.
Our take
The Prestige is the rooftop pick for sea views. G Hotel Kelawai has a 25-meter pool and a live-music bar; here the extra is the gazebo, which gives you shade to sit in between swims.
Little is published. There is no floor, size or hours, and no word on non-guests or a day pass. If the pool is why you're booking, get those answers from the hotel first.
