Whether you're looking for a place to relax with a good book or splash around with your family, a hotel pool can be the perfect escape. But not all hotels are created equal. From Instagram-worthy infinity edges to scenic mountain views, the best hotel pools offer more than just a refreshing swim. So if you're planning a trip — or even a staycation — check out this list of top hotel pools in the United States by Trip to Discover, where you can soak up the sun in style!
"Staying at a hotel with a pool is a great way to enjoy a refreshing break in between sightseeing or spend an entire day lounging around with a cocktail in hand," the travel site said about its list. "At some hotels, the pool can be a star attraction, with features like slides, maybe a poolside bar, or even a lazy river for stress-melting floats.

High Dive, an open-air sports bar, is the perfect place for a refreshing cocktail and you’ll find cabanas and fire pits up here on the roof too.
