The Diplomat is for sunset drinks beside the water. A rooftop pool and pool bar share the 8th floor, with unobstructed Mediterranean views. Access rules aren't published.

The pool

The Diplomat, at 173 Tower Road, Sliema, puts its pool on the 8th floor next to a Rooftop Pool Bar. The hotel describes a private rooftop pool with panoramic sea views. A terrace snack option is also available.

Our take

The Diplomat shares its 8th-floor height with AX The Victoria and Carlton Hotel, but it is the one that names a pool bar on that floor. That suits a long afternoon on the roof more than a quick swim.

The catch is access. The hotel calls the pool private and says nothing about non-guests using it or the bar. Hours, heating and any age rules aren't published either, so ask before you count on an afternoon here.

Good to know

  • 8th-floor pool with a Rooftop Pool Bar

Getting in

Access rules aren't published. The hotel describes the rooftop pool as private, so a stay is the safe assumption.

No day pass is listed and no age rules are given.

Tips

  • Ask the hotel whether the pool bar serves non-guests before you plan a visit.
  • Aim for late afternoon if you want sunset, which the hotel mentions.

Before you go. Confirm who is allowed in and when the pool opens. Neither is published.
