OT - Night arrivals in SYD & hotel rec facilities

Completely OT I know - but my tenuous link, is that this relates to arriving in Sydney at 9:40pm on a QF link flight, and departing again the following morning on QF, a trip I regularly do. Are there any hotels in Sydney that have pool/spa/sauna facilities that actually stay open after 10pm? I've tried several and it seems that 9/9:30 is closing time for most. I know in ADL you can at the Rendevous Allegra, but hey, ADL is a big international city with jetsetters from all around the world, whereas SYD is just a tinpot backwater .....

Well unlike MEL, SYD has beaches that you can swim in 12 months a year.

As recommended by gourmets off the coast of NSW:

I am sure that there are a few establishments around the Kings Cross area that offer spas etc together with some additional forms of entertainment. Some of these might not actually OPEN until after 10pm....

Yes if anyone is looking to get into hot water in SYD, that is the area to head for.

It was legal to have fun in MEL until as recently as the 1930s, but the Churches put an end to all that.

You could always have a dip in Botany Bay.

I often stay at the Novotel BLS and while the signs etc indicate pool clusure at 9pm, I have often seen it open as late as 11:30 on warm nights. No gaurantees though.
