The pick if you need a rooftop pool without a room. A day pass, a daybed or a cabana gets non-guests in, and the pool is heated. Passes are sold on ResortPass.

The pool

Compass Pool & Lounge sits on the roof of the JW Marriott in the North Historic District, and the outdoor pool is heated. It has Savannah River views, daybeds and private cabanas. The floor isn't published, and the day-pass price isn't shown.

Our take

This is the only hotel on our Savannah list that sells day passes, so it is the first call for visitors staying elsewhere. The others are guests only or don't publish access rules.

The catch is cost clarity. ResortPass doesn't show a price in our facts, and daybeds and cabanas are rentals on top. Before you plan around it, check the price and the pool's open hours for the day you want.

Good to know

  • Heated outdoor pool on the roof
  • Day pass sold on ResortPass
  • Daybeds and cabanas rentable for the full day

The catches

Tips

  • Book a daybed or cabana if you want food and drink service included for the day.
  • Aim for June to August if you want the warmest swimming. Average highs fall to 17.6°C in December and 16.3°C in January.

Before you go. Check the day-pass price on ResortPass and confirm pool hours for your date. Neither is published on the hotel's side.
