"It’s widely known that there aren’t many great hotel options in the Los Feliz/Silver Lake/Echo Park area, which makes the Silver Lake Pool & Inn—and its pool bar, Marco Polo—even more of a destination. The two-floored space consists of a full restaurant at street level and a pool area up on the roof. The pool is technically for hotel guests only, but if you go during an off time and ask nicely, you’ll be sitting poolside with an afternoon spritz in no time." - brant cox
