Sofitel Sydney Darling Harbour - Where the Cityscape Unfolds
Surround yourself with scenes of Sydney at Le Rivage Infinity Pool. The view from your sunlounger is of the glistening harbor framed by shimmering buildings, a sight that makes the first sip of Champagne taste even sweeter. Vistas of white yachts on the water combined with a poolside setting of natural wood, parasols, and a touch of greenery create a beach-like vibe at Sofitel Sydney Darling Harbour. It all works together in this social hub that's ideal for meeting friends.
The pool itself is a major draw, of course, providing delightful refreshment after a day in the city. The crisp blue tones of the infinity pool contrast with the slightly different palette of the harbor waters. No wonder the pool and its surroundings achieved Best Hotel Pool in Australia status, courtesy of Travel + Leisure magazine in 2023.
After your dip, stroll barefoot over to the bar and take a seat at the marbled counter, or order a cool drink to take back to your lounger. Savor light bites and cocktails as the sun goes down over the city. The pool is also inviting in clear morning light the next day.

Sofitel Singapore City Centre - An Urban Green Space
At Sofitel Singapore City Centre, swim laps in the long, thin 30-meter infinity pool stretching through clean lines of greenery. The plants and trees hugging the pool provide a sense of being in a private garden. Yet, in diverse Singapore, contrasts are always intriguing. Sleek, shining towers stand beyond the greenery – this vegetation reflected in some towers, but also creeping up others – adding texture and detail to the spectacular view.
As you swim, look out for the walkway in the rooftop gardens of The Pinnacle@Duxton. At 50 floors high, it’s one of the tallest residential buildings in the world. Sweeping 180-degree vistas also take in vibrant city streets in this central hotel close to Chinatown.
After a busy day in the tropical city-state, returning to a Singapore hotel with a pool on the roof is pure bliss. High above the action, deep in the water, feel waves of relaxation wash over you. Between dips in the delightfully cool water, choose a spot at a high table or a wide, soft lounger that’s more like a hotel bed. A sumptuous spot for a glass of Champagne.
