"If you’ve ever shown up to one of New Orleans’s hotel pools and been slightly *underwhelmed* with its size, the Royal Sonesta’s pool is the answer. It’s one of the biggest in the French Quarter, set in a pretty, lush courtyard next to a poolside bar. A day pass at the pool starts at $80 on Resort Pass; but on Sonesta Sundays (featuring live DJs), non-hotel guests can get a discounted pool pass on Eventbrite for $35." - Beth D'Addono
