The Hyde suits wine drinkers staying in Sea Point who want a roof deck with loungers. The pool deck shares the roof with a Bruce Jack tasting centre for wine. Who can swim isn't published.
The pool
At 13 London Rd in Sea Point, the pool sits on the Skye Deck on the roof. Loungers line the pool, and a Bruce Jack wine tasting centre shares the deck, with mountain and ocean views. The catch is that the hotel doesn't publish its access rules.
Our take
Sea Point is named among the most popular bases in Cape Town and the trendiest neighborhoods. The Marly in Camps Bay is the other coastal guests pool on our list, and it publishes that it's heated. The Hyde doesn't say.
Treat the wine centre as the draw. The downside is the blank on access: no day pass, guest rule or hours are published. Write or call before you head up, especially if you aren't staying. The hotel also has a gym and a complimentary shuttle for guests, which makes it easy to base yourself here.
Good to know
