With an expansive feel (16,000 square feet), this outdoor retreat on the Revere Hotel’s seventh floor offers dramatic city views in a park-like setting, thanks to lush landscaping by Winston Flowers. The extensive menu includes light bites and plates perfect for sharing, while the cocktail, Champagne, wine and beer lists are better than most clubs. The staff is outfitted in clothing by local designer Bless Mazarura, and the 21-plus age limit guarantees an afternoon or evening free from shrill children (or even shriller parents). General admission is $20 on weekdays, $30 on weekends, and there are four- and eight-person cabanas available ($150 and $300 on weekdays, $225 and $450 on weekends, with food and beverage minimums). There are plenty of hotel guests working on their tans, but you’re just as likely to see a pair of models sipping Champagne or well-dressed professionals enjoying an al fresco lunch. Sunday brings a daytime Sun&Set party, Monday features an industry night, and Athleta hosts free Pilates workouts on Tuesday evenings. The downside: The actual pool is under glass, and the bathrooms double as changing rooms.
