Pool, rooftop access, and day-pass rules
The Joule features a seasonal cantilevered rooftop pool on the 10th floor with downtown views; published hours and the seasonal schedule vary across hotel pages and third-party listings. The hotel lists pool hours on its site, but different pages show different times, so check with the concierge before arrival.
Pool access is primarily for hotel guests; non-guests can sometimes access the pool via day-pass programs (third-party platforms list ResortPass day passes). Cabanas and some pool extras may incur additional charges.
