The Wittmore boasts a charming rooftop soaking pool, described as an "oasis of art and creativity". While not a large pool for swimming, it offers a refreshing escape and a unique experience, especially during warm weather. The limited information suggests a focus on aesthetics and a relaxing atmosphere rather than extensive lounging or services.
Pool details confirmed against the hotel's own website plus at least one independent source. No editor has visited in person. Booking links may earn us a commission; they never influence the ranking order.

Why it's on the list

The rooftop area is a relaxing space with sun loungers, creating a private club atmosphere for guests. Guests can enjoy food and cocktails by the pool.
Why it's not higher
The pool is very small, intended for cooling off rather than swimming laps. It is shallow and described as a 'plunge' or 'paddle' pool.
