Day passes: availability and hours
Hewing Hotel sells a limited number of day passes for public (non-overnight) access to the Rooftop spa pool and sauna. Day passes are available Thursday through Sunday, from 11:00 AM until 5:00 PM.
Because availability is limited, plan to arrive early on those days. The Rooftop does not take reservations for general lounge or pool access, so day-pass spots can sell out.
- Day-pass days: Thursday–Sunday
- Day-pass hours: 11:00 AM–5:00 PM
- Day-pass access: Rooftop spa pool and sauna (users must be 21+)
