Thought you needed to travel to Bali or Fiji to find a swim up pool bar you can float around for a balmy summer afternoon? Well think again—there's one right here in Brisbane at The Westin, and it's a stunner. Best of all, you don't even need to be a guest to take a dip, with the luxe hotel opening it up to the public for select afternoons over the summer.
From 8 November to 23 February, you’ll be able to book in to head up to Level 2 of the hotel, where you’ll find the Nautilus Pool Bar, Brisbane’s one and only swim-up pool bar. Make sure you pack your flashest togs, because you’ll be able to take a dip to cool off, or just lounge around the pool sipping on cocktails and taking in the views.
Best of all, for general access to the pool will only will set you back $29, and that even gets you towel use and a Cabos Spritz on arrival, with Friday, Saturday and Sunday dates available. If you do want to level things up a little, you can also book a cabana package, which includes a reserved cabana, a Cabos Spritz on arrival, and a taco platter of 10 mixed soft shell tacos along with a margarita jug. Otherwise, a Mexican-inspired menu of Patrona Tequila margaritas, Brouhaha craft beers, and snacks of guacamole with tortilla chips and seasoned corn ribs await.
