Map/Directions
Pool Season
The pool season typically runs from mid-March thru mid-October. As these dates are weather dependent please contact the hotel directly for exact opening and closing dates. As a note, due to the much cooler than normal Spring, the pool did not open until May in 2023.
If you are staying downtown during the cooler months you may be interested in reading my article on the year round operating Stadium Swim at Circa. Keep in mind Stadium Swim is a 21 and over pool venue.
