Pick the Arca for an infinity pool facing Aberdeen Harbour with a rooftop bar beside it. Access isn't published by the hotel, so confirm it before you count on a swim.
The pool
The Arca has an infinity pool on its rooftop in Wong Chuk Hang, on Hong Kong Island's south side. The Arca Sky bar sits beside it, and the view is Aberdeen Harbour. Floor, hours and access rules aren't published.
Our take
The Arca is the only pool on our list set against Aberdeen Harbour, away from the Kowloon and Causeway Bay crowds. Crowne Plaza Causeway Bay also pairs a pool with a bar, but the Arca's pool has an infinity design and the hotel names the harbour view.
Access is the downside. Whether non-guests can swim isn't stated, and no day pass price is published. Rooftop snacks and drinks start from $78, but that price isn't stated as applying to the pool.

Getting in
Access rules for the pool aren't published. Staying there is the only route we can point to, and no day pass is listed.
The Arca Sky rooftop bar has snacks and drinks from $78, though the hotel doesn't say that the price applies to the pool area. The hotel describes itself as unprecedentedly dog-friendly.
Tips
- Email or call before you book and ask whether non-guests can use the pool.
- Ask about pool hours at the same time, since none are published.
Before you go. Ask the hotel whether the pool and the Arca Sky bar are open to non-guests on your dates.
