The pool
A heated outdoor infinity pool sits on the roof at the 9th floor, and the views run 360 degrees over Sliema and Valletta. A Rooftop Pool Bar sits beside it. The hotel's address is in Tas-Sliema.
Our take
Year-round heating is the point. Summer runs May to October, and the infinity pool stays open in the cooler months, when average highs fall to 17.1°C in December and 15.3°C in January. Few hotels on our list say that.
Access is the catch. Whether non-guests can swim isn't stated, and no day pass is listed. Its address is in Tas-Sliema, so check the location suits you before booking.

Tips
- Book a room for November to April if you want a heated outdoor pool, since this one stays open then.
- Plan a late-afternoon swim: the hotel's reviews point to sunset from the rooftop.
Before you go. Ask the hotel if day visitors can use the rooftop pool. That isn't stated.
