Go here for the published hours: the Vela Sky pool deck on the 12th floor is covered, has a bar and keeps sunrise-to-sunset hours. Whether non-guests can swim isn't stated.

The pool

Vela Sky is a covered pool deck on the 12th floor of the hotel at 227 NE 2nd St, Downtown Miami, with a bar and city views. It opens at sunrise and closes at sunset. Access rules and heating aren't published.

Our take

YOTEL is one of the few Downtown rooftops that gives both a floor and hours, which Sentral Alea doesn't. Its 12th floor sits below The Grayson's 14th and W Miami's 15th.

Closing at sunset means no night swims, and the unpublished access policy leaves non-guests guessing. Check with the hotel first if you plan a visit.

Good to know

  • 12th-floor deck with city views
  • Open from sunrise to sunset
  • Bar on the pool deck

The catches

  • Closes at sunset
  • Non-guest access isn't published

Best forEarly risers staying Downtown who want a covered deck with a bar.

Skip it ifYou want to swim after dark or need a confirmed day pass.

Getting in

No access rules are published for the Vela Sky pool, so there is no confirmed day pass or bar-access route.

Guests are the safe assumption. If you aren't staying, ask the hotel directly.

Tips

  • Swim early or in the late afternoon, since the deck closes at sunset.
  • Ask about the bar's hours separately, because the facts give only the pool's sunrise-to-sunset hours.

Before you go. Confirm with the hotel if non-guests can use the pool deck, and what the bar's hours are.
