If you don’t have a pool in your apartment complex and are not a member of a club but feel like having a dip and cocktail by a swimming pool, there are ways in Hong Kong! All you need is a day pass and you can beat the heat and swim in style at some of the city’s swankiest hotel pools.
Grand Hyatt Hong Kong
The Grand Hyatt in Wan Chai is well known for its luxury and extravagance, and the 50m heated outdoor pool lives up to that reputation – incredible views of the city skyline and lush tropical greenery create the perfect setting for relaxation. A day pass costs $600 on weekdays and $800 on weekends and gives you access not only to the pool, but also the gym and sauna.
