The pool
The InterContinental in Downtown has its pool on the rooftop, 50 feet above the city. The hotel heats it to 85 degrees and keeps it open year-round. Skyline and river views come with indoor and outdoor seating at the pool.
Our take
At $35, InterContinental falls between Drury Plaza and Hyatt Regency ($20) and Emma and The St. Anthony ($100). It alone on our list states a water temperature, which matters in December, when average highs are 18.2°C.
It publishes a height, not a floor, and no pool hours. The High Praise rooftop bar is on the 3rd floor, so it is not beside the water. Children's activities are offsite.
Good to know
- Water heated to 85 degrees, open year-round
- Day passes from $35 on ResortPass
- ADA and wheelchair accessible from the public entrance
The catches
- Pool hours and floor number aren't published
