Staying Cool

This Summer
(POOLSIDE, THAT IS)

NEW YORK

HOTEL GANSEVOORT

It’s not everyday you find a pool that plays underwater music—but you can find one at Hotel Gansevoort. The 45-foot heated outdoor pool at this chic hotel is the first of its kind in Manhattan. The lounge area and richly landscaped roof garden offer 360-degree views of the city and beyond, while the rooftop lounge, Plunge, is a stylish new place for special events.

LOS ANGELES

MONDRIAN HOTEL

This non-chlorinated pool offers its guests panoramic views of the City of Angels, and makes them feel right at home on Sunset Boulevard. During the day, spend some time lounging on the wicker furniture in the Outdoor Living Room. At night, watch the area transform; with hundreds of flickering lights strewn from the trees, it’s the perfect romantic hideaway.

SAN FRANCISCO

FAIRMONT HOTEL

For some San Francisco poolside fun, check out the Tonga Room & Hurricane Bar inside the Fairmont Hotel. The tropical Hawaiian setting— complete with simulated thunder and rainstorms, Pacific Rim cuisine and yummy Mai Tais—will keep you cool even as the scene heats up, which it often does, especially during weekday happy hours and on the weekends.
