Our pick if you want height and a low price. Of the pools on our list, only this one publishes its floor (the 22nd); it is heated, and a ResortPass day pass starts at $20.
The pool
The rooftop pool is on the 22nd floor of the Drury Plaza in Downtown, a heated outdoor pool with two whirlpools. It looks over the city and is open 9am to 10pm. A separate indoor pool and whirlpool sit in the San Fernando Tower.
Our take
Drury is the cheapest way up in Downtown, tied with Hyatt Regency at $20. It also gives you what Hyatt doesn't publish: a floor number and hours. Emma and The St. Anthony charge $100 for a rooftop day.
The catch is the 9am opening. Emma and Mokara both open at 7am, so early swimmers lose two hours here. The hotel's pool page also lists city views only, with no river view mentioned.
Good to know
- 22nd floor, the one floor published on our list
- Day passes from $20 on ResortPass
- Heated, with two whirlpools
The catches
- Opens at 9am, two hours later than Emma and Mokara
Best forBudget-minded visitors who want a heated high-floor pool and two whirlpools.

Day pass. From $20 for an adult day pass on resortpass.com, checked October 31, 2026. Prices change by day and season. See passes for Drury Plaza Riverwalk.
Tips
- Swim late afternoon to evening if you want to use the full 9am to 10pm window and the whirlpools.
- The indoor pool and whirlpool in the San Fernando Tower are separate, so don't book a pass expecting those.
Before you go. Confirm on ResortPass that your pass is for the rooftop pool, since the hotel also has an indoor pool.
