Rooftops in New York are a popular place to gather with friends in the summer. ART Williamsburg at Arlo Williamsburg takes the rooftop experience to a new level with a 40-foot swimming pool, 360-degree views of New York City, and alfresco poolside bites and cocktails. During the day, the rooftop is a place to relax and soak up the sun. At night it turns into a lively club with a live DJ and dancing.

 

Hotel Effie

Hotel Effie is home to the only rooftop pool on Florida’s Emerald Coast. The Miramar hotel provides a luxury pool experience and chic rooftop lounge serving up delicious cocktails and bites.

When the sun sets, the rooftop becomes a nightlife hot spot.

With year-round nice weather, it’s always summer in Miami Beach, and Cadillac Hotel & Beach Club is ready to welcome summer travelers to the best pool in Miami.
