The former site of rooftop glamping spot St. Jerome’s – The Hotel, which zipped up its tents a few months ago after three years of operation, will reopen in October as a pool bar.

“Essentially, its a sanctuary in amongst the concrete,” co-founder Jerome Borazio tells Broadsheet, who in addition to creating St. Jerome’s – The Hotel, is behind Ponyfish Island, Back Alley Sally’s and St. Jerome’s Laneway Festival.

“With the city being absorbed by more and more development, we wanted to create a space for its residents and workers to de-stress and unite … it’s summer by the public pool, but not as you once knew it.”
