The heat can feel extra hot in the concrete jungle this summer, but there are many luxurious pools that you can take a swim in to stay cool. Here at Platinum Properties, we’ve picked seven of the best NYC rooftop pools that are open for the summer and have a lot more to offer than just a sundeck. While spots at each one are not guaranteed, there are quite a few options. Whether you want a cocktail and chaise lounge, a view of Central Park, or a night club inspired pool, there is a spot to suit whatever you’re looking for this summer.
The Jimmy is a rooftop bar and lounge at the James Hotel which features an outdoor pool equipped with plush chaise lounges for optimum sunbathing (and socializing).On weekdays the pool is for guests only, but on weekends starting at 3:00 PM, the space is open to the public for its famously fun JIMMY Summer Pool Parties.
The pool at Hotel Americano in Chelsea offers a view of the western city skyline, complemented by a Mediterranean-inspired menu. The food is prepared on an outdoor grill so guests can enjoy their snacks while dipping their toes in the pool and sipping on ‘caipirinhas’ and other deliciously boozy cocktails.

Members only can enjoy Manhattan Plaza Health Club’s pool for $89 a month. More than just a pool, the health club has a gym facility as well, providing you with total access to the pool and sundeck and all of their health club amenities. Members can also order food from a pool attendant and have it brought right to them.
Le Parker Meridien is perhaps the most luxurious pool pass you can purchase, costing $150 for a one day pass—unless you’re a hotel guest, in which case the amenities are included.

The pool and deck areas are open until 10:30 PM on weekdays and 8:45 PM on weekends to ensure you get a full day’s worth of summer luxury.
