Pool & Rooftop at The Williamsburg Hotel

When it gets too hot to trot around New York, public swimming pools are one of the best solutions for staying cool. The only thing better? Hanging poolside with a cocktail in hand. Several of New York’s finest hotels offer day passes for their rooftop pools, most of which include chaises and cabanas for lounging in addition to a full-service bar. The Williamsburg Hotel is no exception, as the venue has debuts a new pool and high-top lounge offering unobstructed views of Manhattan’s skyline on Friday, July 13. 

Prices to reserve a cabana, daybed or lounge chair vary, but your best bet is to go any day Monday through Thursday after 3pm when it only sets you back $40. When you need to refuel after swimming laps, snack on bites from Harvey’s and enjoy sipping martinis and champagne at Water Tower Bar—an elevated, sky-high drinkery (opening soon).
