Where the pool and fitness are located
Both the outdoor heated pool and the complimentary Fitness Center are on the hotel's fifth floor. The hotel's home-page copy and property listings identify this level as the rooftop/pool floor.
The pool area is an outdoor rooftop deck; the Fitness Center is an indoor space on the same floor, making it convenient to move between a workout and the pool deck.

Hours, access and rules
Pool access is reported as daily from morning through late evening; one listing gives hours of 7:00 am to 11:00 pm. The exact posted hours at the hotel may vary, so check with the front desk after arrival.
The fitness center is described as a 24-hour facility in the property's overview, but third-party listings identify the Fitness Center on the 5th floor and confirm guest access. If you need guaranteed late-night access, confirm with the front desk or concierge.

Pool bar, food and service
At least one listing references a pool bar on the rooftop deck. Reported service hours vary by source: one source lists daily service from early morning to midnight, while another shows limited weekend-only service for certain hours.
Because hours and whether the bar operates every day can change (and may depend on weather), check with the hotel's front desk or concierge on the day you plan to use the pool for current service availability.

- Reported bar hours vary between listings (daily vs. weekend-limited); verify on arrival

What to bring and practical tips
Bring your own swimsuit, sunscreen and sunglasses; the hotel listings do not publish a pool towel policy, so check with the pool attendant or front desk about towel availability. If you need special swim equipment or floatation devices, ask the staff on arrival.
Because the pool deck is an exposed rooftop space, plan for sun and possible afternoon storms in summer months. If you rely on late-night pool or fitness access, confirm hours with the front desk — check-in is at 4:00 pm and the front desk is open 24 hours.
- Ask front desk about pool towels and pool-bar hours on arrival
- Expect sun exposure — bring sunscreen and a hat
- Verify posted pool depth markings before swimming in deeper areas
| Common traveler question | Advice |
|---|---|
| Are towels provided? | Not specified in property facts — confirm with front desk or pool attendant |
| Is lifeguard on duty? | No lifeguard information in the provided facts — assume no lifeguard unless the hotel posts one |
| Can children use the pool? | The property welcomes families and lists a shallower pool area; check supervision rules with staff |
