Who can use the pools and additional access notes
Pools are intended for hotel guests; the property connects to the Tampa Marriott Water Street via a glass skybridge and guests of the sister property have access to that hotel's pool as well. The hotel is not marketed as adults-only; it operates as a downtown luxury/business hotel.
If you need accessibility accommodations, the hotel lists a wheelchair-accessible pool among its accessible features. For specific accessibility questions (ramps, lift availability), contact the hotel prior to arrival.
- Intended users: hotel guests (and documented access via sister property connection)
- Hotel policy: not adults-only (open to general guests), minimum check-in age is 18
- Accessibility: a wheelchair-accessible pool is listed; confirm details with hotel
| Topic | Note |
|---|---|
| Pool access | Hotel guests; sister property connection exists |
| Adults-only? | No — property is not adults-only |
| Accessibility | Wheelchair-accessible pool noted; contact hotel for specifics |
Practical tips and what to bring
Towels are typically provided by the hotel at the pool but confirm with the front desk if you need extra or replacement towels. The property operates cashless in many venues, so have a card or mobile payment available.
If you plan to reserve a cabana, reserve early for event-heavy dates (the hotel sits next to Amalie Arena and the Tampa Convention Center). Expect poolside hours and cabana availability to be busiest on event days.
- Bring: credit card or mobile payment method (hotel and eateries use cashless transactions)
- Confirm towel policy at check-in or pool desk
- Reserve cabanas early for arena or convention dates
| Item | Why it helps |
|---|---|
| Card or mobile pay | Property and some outlets are cashless |
| Advance cabana reservation | Ensures availability during busy dates |
| Ask about pool rules | Rules can change for special events or private bookings |
