Warwick Hotel Al Safa - Jeddah
A rooftop pool with its own outdoor fireplace lounge
About this hotel
The rooftop deck pairs the pool with an outdoor fireplace lounge, an unusual combination in a city where evening heat rarely calls for one, but it works once the sun drops and a light breeze picks up over Al Safa. Guests swim through the afternoon and shift to the fireplace seating once the pool empties out toward dusk. The fitness room sits on the same floor for anyone wanting a workout either side of the water. Rooms below are comfortable rather than showy, with bathrobes, minibars and flat-screen TVs, and the restaurant serves an international halal menu through breakfast buffet, lunch and dinner in a welcoming, unfussy dining room. Jeddah Corniche and King Fahd Fountain are both within reach for an outing beyond the hotel.
- Rooftop swimming pool
- Outdoor fireplace lounge
- Fitness room
- Free private parking
Our take
This suits a couple or small family who wants a rooftop pool and a genuine evening lounge to move to once the swimming is done, rather than a pool deck that empties out with nowhere else to sit. It is a solid but not flashy four-star choice, better for a relaxed stay in Al Safa than for anyone chasing a five-star pool scene.
- ✓Swim through the afternoon and move to the fireplace seating once the light starts to fade.
- ✓Book a ground-floor restaurant table for the international halal dinner menu, it is the better option than lunch.
- ✓Use the fitness room before the pool opens if you want the deck to yourself for a swim.
Why we love it
- Rooftop pool beside an outdoor fireplace lounge
- Fitness room on the same rooftop floor
- International halal menu across three meals
- Quiet, comfortable rooms in Al Safa
Why guests love itThe rooftop pool empties out gradually as the light fades, and that is really when this hotel shows its best feature, the fireplace seating right next to the deck, treated as the natural second half of the evening rather than a separate lounge to seek out. Swimmers who arrive mid-afternoon get the pool close to themselves, since the crowd here is smaller than at the bigger chain hotels nearby. Dinner afterward is an easy walk downstairs, and the halal international menu covers enough range for a group.
