The pool
This 5-star hotel at 500 Channelside Dr, Downtown, has its heated pool on the rooftop terrace. A Rooftop Pool Bar serves bites and drinks, and towels are provided. The hotel doesn't publish the floor.
Our take
The EDITION is the most amenity-heavy guests-only pool among the downtown hotels on our list. Cabanas are available for day use, towels are provided, and the pool bar turns into a cocktail lounge with DJs on weekend evenings.
The downside is that weekend nights are loud by design, so a quiet swim suits weekdays. Access is also tight: no day pass is listed. If you aren't staying, Element by Marriott Tampa Midtown is the easier way in.
Good to know
- Heated pool
- Rooftop pool bar serving bites and drinks

The catches
