Looking for a place to escape the heat? Make a splash at one of these cool rooftop pools.

Chamberlain West Hollywood

Among all of the paparazzi haunts of Hollywood, the Kor Hotel Group’s Chamberlain West Hollywood roof bar and pool area is one of the most inviting. The pool itself is heated and sits in the center of a spacious teak deck that’s dotted with chaise longues and ceramic side tables. Use a service phone to request a house cocktail like the Vodka Ginger Mojito, made of vodka, sugar, lime and candied ginger; order a gourmet lunch, or arrange a delivery of suntan lotion and water. Three large cabanas provide the same 360-degree views of the City of Angels as the rest of the space, with a little more privacy for massages. The grand cabana offers even more seclusion and can accommodate private parties. For more information visit chamberlainwesthollywood.com.

InterContinental Marine Drive Mumbai

In the midst of the busy urban boulevards of Mumbai, India, sits this high-tech oasis of luxury. The 59-room tower is more boutique hotel than business-traveler central, for which the international brand is known, thanks in large part to the popular rooftop pool. Located next to the hotel’s critically acclaimed open-air Dome sky bar, it not only boasts sweeping views of the city, but also the Arabian Sea. Recline in a cushioned chaise poolside, sip some Sula (India’s homegrown champagne) and watch for fireworks lighting up the Mumbai night sky. (It’s a common occurrence signifying the celebration of marriages, religious feasts and other festivals.) Or sit on one of the cozy white sofas, groove to the sounds of the DJ and choose from the fusion appetizer menu, which includes spicy kebabs and superfresh sushi. Stay at the hotel and you’ll receive a 30-minute “Welcome Massage,” complimentary access to the hotel’s 24-hour fitness center and round-the-clock butler service.

Gansevoort South

Housed in a 1960s modern-style building, the recently opened Gansevoort South—the sister property of New York City’s ultrahip Gansevoort—promises A-list service and an awesome rooftop pool experience. In addition to offering scenic views of the downtown Miami skyline from 18 stories above the beach, the pool area is huge with oversize chaise beds shaded by whimsical umbrellas and towering palms. And the airy cabanas positioned close to the bar make perfect perches for kicking back during the day and getting the party started at night. In the evenings, Gansevoort South heats up the Miami club scene; the pool area’s bar, Plunge, serves specialty cocktails and small plate samplings to discerning trendsetters. Other hotel amenities include a stylish steakhouse and the tony David Barton Gym. For more information visit gansevoortsouth.com.
