When it comes to ideal summer weather there’s no city better than LA. The weather in LA can be thought of “pool weather” almost all year long. What better way to spend a warm LA summer day or night than by the pool. The good news is you don’t have to make the 4 hour trek to Vegas to experience an amazing pool party. LA is home to some of the hottest pool parties scenes you never knew about.
THE STANDARD LA
This modern and sleek hotel is located in the heart of down town Los Angeles. Every Saturday and Sunday during the summer months The Standard Hotel hosts a pool party on their rooftop called “BASK”. Aside from the great food and DJ spinning the latest hits, it’s all about the 360 degree view of one of the most popular skylines in the world.
HOLLYWOOD ROOSEVELT HOTEL
Talk about an iconic Hollywood hotel! The Roosevelt Hotel opened in the mid 1900’s and has remained the place to be scene ever since. In it’s early years, the Hollywood Roosevelt played host to countless icons: Marilyn Monroe, Charlie Chaplin and Clark Gable among others. In 1988 David Hockney completed a multi-million dollar mural painted at the bottom of the tropicana pool. The Tropicana sets the standard when it comes to pool parties. During summer evenings you can join in on the fun and experience their “ NIGHT SWIM”. When everyone else is going home, the Roosevelt’s pool party is just getting started.
W HOTEL- HOLLYWOOD
The W hotel is a brand that people come to expect greatest from. The hotel chain represents luxury with just the right amount of sexy. The pool at the W Hotel Hollywood is located on the rooftop and is surrounded by cabanas, day-beds, and plush lounge chairs. The W calls their summer pool party the “WET DECK”. The name alone should tell you that if you’re not ready to jump in, then it’s probably best to stay home.
W HOTEL- WESTWOOD
Why compete when you can add on? The W Hotel Westwood knows that sometimes the weekend is just too far away. That’s why every Wednesday during summer they host a pool party called the “MID-WEEK HOOKUP”. It’s the perfect way to spend your hump day. This pool party caters to the Angelenos that embrace the “firefighter schedule”: 3 days work and 4 days off.
LOEWS HOLLYWOOD HOTEL
When attending this pool party please remember not to bring sand to the beach. The pool party takes place Saturdays at Loews Hollywood and is charmingly titled “ FRIENDS WITH BENEFITS”. They’re not saying it’s a singles only party, but they are saying don’t bring your baggage.
MONDARIAN / SKYBAR
The best keep secret is none other than the pool party hosted at the Mondrian/Skybar on Sat. & Sun. called “PLAYA ESCONDIDA”. Considered one of the more relaxed pool parties around town. This pool party is great for couples or groups of people that want to lounge by the pool, occasionally take a dip to cool off, and of course listen to good music.
The pool party scene in LA is nothing short of amazing. Next time you here an Angeleno talk about traveling all the way to vegas for a great summer time pool party, kindly remind them that LA is the place to be.
