Did someone say staycation? If you need a personal day away from kids, work, or even your S.O. (shhhh!), we have just the place. Fellow New Yorkers listen up– CODA Williamsburg is the spot to be this summer for a relaxing pool day that feels like a vacation, even if it's only for a few hours.

Yes, we're gonna go there and say that The Beach at Dream Downtown is definitely A DREAM. The pun is very much intended because we couldn't start to describe the immaculate vibes that exude from this venue brought to us by the iconic Tao Hospitality Group. The resort vibe we all love and crave can be found right here in Chelsea–whether it's at the pool itself, the beautiful hotel that houses it, or at the Pacific Island-influenced bar and grill. You'll have to take our word for it and try it out for yourself!
8-08 Queens Plaza S | Queens

Here's a quick rundown of who we'd think would love The Summer Club at Ravel Hotel: people looking to party by the pool, people with great music taste, people who love to tan and chillax in cabanas, people who want to make the most of summer with friends, and people who love sippin' on a little something poolside. Check their awesome calendar of events and performers to get tickets to NYC's favorite pool party destination.
96 Wythe Ave | Williamsburg

If you haven't checked out Arlo Williamsburg yet are you even a New Yorker? Besides their to-die-for property, their pool and cabana offerings are unmatched. They even have a "Work From Rooftop" package available, aside from their day pass, pool lounger, and cabana rentals. While you're there be sure to check out their rooftop pool bar too.

Need to catch a quick vacay glow? Head to the TWA Hotel located at John F. Kennedy Airport before or after your next flight! Their unique location allows for views from their infinity pool and a 10,000-sq-ft observation deck that no other pool in NYC can offer. While you're there be sure to grab a seasonal cocktail such as "Jet Fuel," "Paper Plane," and our favorite, "Red Eye."

The Aliya Cocktail Den & Pool Club located in Hotel Indigo Williamsburg is new on the scene! It offers incomparable scenic views while allowing guests to soak up the sun from their comfy beach chairs and lux cabanas. It gets pretty hot up there so make sure to cool off with one of their signature cocktails (and maybe some water if you're feeling crazy).
