Best when you're staying overnight and want a heated pool on a known floor, the 9th. Guests only, and a closure has been mentioned, so check the pool is open.

The pool

At 4860 W Kennedy Blvd in South Tampa, the pool sits on the 9th floor. It is heated and 1.8 meters deep, with views of Tampa Bay. Only hotel guests can use it.

Our take

The Westshore Grand is one of the few hotels on our list that states its floor. Hyatt Place Tampa Downtown, at the 5th floor, is the other. At the 9th, this pool sits higher.

The downside is reliability. A review mentions a rooftop pool closure, with no dates, so it's worth confirming the pool is open for your stay. No day pass is listed either, so a non-guest has no route in.

Good to know

  • Pool on the 9th floor
  • Heated
  • 1.8 meters deep

The catches

Tips

  • Ask when you book if the pool will be open on your dates.
