Book this one if you plan to sleep at the hotel and want an infinity pool on the roof, facing the river and gardens. Cross alone on our list states outright that its pool is for guests only.

The pool

This 5-star hotel in Wat Ket has an infinity pool on its roof, looking over the river and gardens. In-house guests only. The hotel doesn't publish the floor, so don't count on a particular height.

Our take

Cross is the clearest answer on our list for guests who want a pool they can use without asking anyone. The other hotels leave access unpublished, so you'd have to call first. Cross has already told you: stay, and you swim.

The catch is that nobody else gets in. No day pass is listed, and the pool hours and floor go unpublished. If you want a swim without a room, the public Looper Swimming Pool charges B250 for a one-day pass.

Good to know

  • Infinity pool on the roof, facing the river and gardens
  • Access rule is published: in-house guests only
  • 5-star hotel; Oxygen Dining Room, described as award-winning, is on site

The catches

  • Guests only, with no day pass for visitors
  • The hotel doesn't publish the floor or pool hours

Best forGuests who want a river-view rooftop pool included with their stay.

Skip it ifYou're hoping to swim without booking a room.

Getting in

Only in-house guests can swim. The hotel states the pool is reserved for them, and no day pass is listed for it.

The hotel publishes neither age rules nor pool hours. Ask when you book if you're traveling with children.

Tips

  • Ask at booking when the pool closes; hours aren't on the hotel's pages.
  • Plan your swim for February to April, the best three months of the year.

Before you go. Confirm pool hours and any child rules with the hotel before you book, because neither is published.
