"A colonial-style hotel dating to 1946, the pool—designed by Olympic swimmer and Tarzan star Johnny Weissmuller—is slightly shy of Olympic dimensions yet famously used by long-distance swimmer Florence Chadwick for training. Recent renovations preserved the maximalist period glamour, from black-and-white tiles and flamingo-pink ladders to green leopard-print loungers and a Swizz Beatz–curated soundtrack; the Pool Bar channels an Amalfi Coast 1980s vibe, and non-guests can book full-day swim passes for a modest fee." - Kathryn Romeyn, Nicholas DeRenzo
