Left and right of the pool itself, which is tiled in a light and dark
blue chevron pattern, is a wading pool, just deep enough to get
your feet wet while sipping a cocktail.
The rooftop pool consists of two parts, on either side of the
rooftop restaurant. Unlike most rooftop amenities in hotels,
which are all about the panorama, here the city’s skyline is almost
completely concealed by the vegetated screen. This underlines
the unconventionality of WOHA’s architecture. Instead of a
view, this rooftop offers a place of unexpected intimacy and
tranquillity, a surprisingly oasitic escape from the bustle of the
city.
