The pool
The L'étoile rooftop pool sits on the 9th floor of this 5-star hotel in Thornton, Tas-Sliema. It runs as a Rooftop Pool & Bistro Lounge, with cocktails and rooftop bites. It's open in the warmer months, and the hotel gives no dates.
Our take
Its sister, 1926 Le Soleil, has a pool on the 12th floor that is heated. Les Bains is three floors lower and doesn't say whether L'étoile is heated, so Le Soleil is the pick for a warmer swim.
The catch is the missing detail: no exact season, no hours and no access rules. Some suites have a private pool, heated on request, but that is separate from L'étoile. Don't assume one comes with the other.
Good to know
- Pool on the 9th floor
- Bistro lounge with cocktails on the deck
- Some suites have a private pool, heated on request
The catches
- Season dates not given, only warmer months
- Access rules not published
Best forCouples who want drinks and a bistro menu next to a 9th-floor pool.
Skip it ifA confirmed day pass matters, or you want a pool open outside the warmer months.
Getting in
Who can use L'étoile isn't published, so we can't tell you whether non-guests can swim. Staying is the sure route.
If you're a guest, ask whether your suite's private pool, heated on request, is included in your rate. That pool is separate from the rooftop.
Tips
- Book for July to September, the best swim months on the island, to be inside the warmer-month window.
- Breakfast is served on an 11th-floor rooftop, so you'll be on a different level from the pool in the morning.
Before you go. Email the hotel to confirm L'étoile is open on your dates and who may use it.
