What our sources say about heating
- “There’s construction happening right next to the hotel, made the pool area a bit less desirable, but by no means was that the fault of the hotel, pool was chilly but refreshing on a hot day, plenty of seating.”Google · Jocelyn Seese ↗

Editor's note
The Sofitel Sydney Darling Harbour boasts an impressive rooftop infinity pool that offers refreshing respite on hot days. While guests appreciate the views and ample seating, the nearby construction can detract from the ambiance. The pool bar and food service are highlights, offering a good selection of refreshments that can be charged directly to the room.

What guests say about the pool
In their own words
There’s construction happening right next to the hotel, made the pool area a bit less desirable, but by no means was that the fault of the hotel, pool was chilly but refreshing on a hot day, plenty of seating.
I was attending a conference and didn’t have time to dive into the rooftop infinity pool, enjoy a soak in my room’s deep bathtub or try the chic Atelier restaurant.
