When it comes to choosing a hotel, an important factor to consider is whether it has a pool or not — and how trendy that pool is.
It should come as no surprise that New York City is a mecca for stunning pools with spectacular views and trendy vibes, so check out these eight beautiful indoor and outdoor swimming pools at top-notch hotels throughout the City That Never Sleeps.
This pool may initially not look like much, but the heated pool is only accessible if you’re a guest at the hotel or if you belong to the exclusive club, costing thousands of dollars. If you can swing it, this is one of the most coveted pools in the city.
One of the priciest hotels when it comes to chains, the Park Hyatt in Manhattan boasts a sleek pool oasis that you can enjoy year-round. Overlooking Carnegie Hall, it’s the perfect place to unwind and relax.
Just across the street from Williamsburg’s McCarren Park is this gem of a hotel and pool. It may not have the jawdropping city skyline views that other hotels have, but what it lacks in wow-factors it makes up for in privacy and hipster vibes. Grab a drink and claim your sunbed and spend the rest of the day listening to DJs.
Take in 360-degree views of the city while enjoying this hotel’s small plunge pool and oversized sunbeds up on the 18th floor.
Breaking away from the stereotypical single-color lining of most pools is this funky yet stylish hotel — the first property from the famed jewelry brand Baccarat. Along with the retro pool is a La Mer spa where you can literally bathe in diamonds by enjoying a diamond powder exfoliation.
On the 15th floor of this Meatpacking District hotel is a heated pool open year-round that boasts views of the New York City skyline and the Hudson River from every direction. Swimming can take a lot out of you, so the hotel also offers Mediterranean small plates inside where you can continue enjoying the spectacular view.
Sixty Lower East Side (LES) may at first glance seem a bit bland until you notice the Andy Warhol print featured at the bottom of the pool — it exudes a level of stylishness that only the revered artist could evoke.
At 60 feet, this is the longest pool in Brooklyn — doing laps has never seemed so appealing as it does when you have this magnificent view to overlook. If you don’t plan to stay at the hotel, you can still purchase a day pass and revel in the views while taking a dip.
