Party by the Pool: The 9 Best Hotel Pool Scenes in LA
In a city known for its incredible weather, it should come as no surprise that some of LA’s best hotels also feature the best pool scenes on hot summer days. Here are a few of the city’s finest, most rambunctious, and chicest pool parties in the City of Angels.
W Los Angeles - West Beverly Hills
Why it made the list
The Wet Pool Deck at this hotel is an oasis that features free Sunday morning yoga classes for locals and guests and afternoon DJs for a wild summertime party.
Marina del Rey Hotel
Why it made the list
This hotel sits directly on the boat-laded water of Marina del Rey and plays host to one of the wildest pool parties in the city. Sunday Funday is their summer bash, which is reminiscent of a Las Vegas daytime DJ scene and open to guests and locals alike.
Ace Hotel
Why it made the list
The word “chill” is probably the best way to describe the pool scene at this downtown darling. There’s programming every day around the pool, from DJs spinning easygoing tunes on weekend days to a summer movie series. The hotel also encourages locals to come by (as they want to be known as a welcoming entertainment spot).
SLS Hotel Beverly Hills
Why it made the list
Known for its culinary wonders, incredible spa packages, and a well-heeled clientele, the SLS also has one of the best pool parties in all of LA. Open to guests only, the Altitude Pool on the hotel’s rooftop is where the beautiful people come to party to weekend DJs, from Memorial Day to Labor Day. LA locals get around the "guest-only" rules by reserving a hotel room for the night (so, by being guests themselves).
