Everyone is reeling from the heat wave. It’s so hot you couldn’t just fry an egg on the sidewalk, you could burn it. Luckily, these pools are open and ready to let you in for a splish splash of cool water — and they all have delightful cocktail menus to boot.

A note that none of these pools are public and there will be a minimal fee to access them. You don’t have to book a hotel room to access the hotel pools, however. Don’t forget sunscreen!
