And to think, we only made it to the beach once this entire summer! But nevermind. While New York temperatures are still lingering in the high 70s, we thought we could all benefit from one last hurrah of outdoor hotel spaces. From outdoor movies to pizza ovens, we found something for everyone on this list. <img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/61268/Sun1.jpg" class="top">Next time you find yourself on Fifth Avenue and 55th St with nothing to do, book yourself a 75-minute spa treatment at the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/The+Peninsula+New+York/local/168">Peninsula New York</a>. The session will automatically grant you access to the hotel's Sun Terrace, which we were lucky enough to ASchechter 2011-09-26T09:15:01-05:00 New York: It Sure Gets Sunny On The Peninsula's Sun Terrace http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2011/9/13/22631/7614 <![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/61268/Sun1.jpg" class="top">Last week, we were invited to check out the newly-refurbished Sun Terrace on the twenty-first floor of the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/The+Peninsula+New+York/local/168">Peninsula New York</a>. Well, this was a no-brainer. A private patio perched over Fifth Avenue that has been designed for the sole purpose of sunbathing? Why, yes, we'd love to. The deck wraps around three sides of the Peninsula building, and at around 1pm (when we were there), the direct sun can be a little intense. We'd recommend visiting later in the daybut definitely go before it gets dark, as the views here are simply not to be missed. Technically, you have to be either a guest of the hotel or the spa to enjoy the terrace, but for ASchechter 2011-09-14T09:25:01-05:00 New York: Last Chance to Strip Down At These 7 NYC Rooftop Pools http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2011/7/19/22124/9759 <![CDATA[In New York, it's all about the views. But the summer heat can be cruel, and sizzling on a scenicbut swelteringrooftop isn't everyone's idea of fun. Unless there's a pool! Here, we've gone and taken a look at seven of the city's top top-floor watery retreats. From spa centers to private cabanas to peek-holes at the bottom of the pool (guess where!), this list has it all. And the best news? You've still got well over a month to enjoy it all! <img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/30451/JamesPool.jpg" class="top"><h3>James New York</h3> Once the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/The+James+New+York/local/1666">The James New York</a> opened, much ado was made about the rooftop bar, Jimmy, and that weird "halo" design touch. But it's what's under the halo that counts.

You can, for free, but only if you're calling a suite at the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/The+Peninsula+New+York/local/168">The Peninsula New York</a>, <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/The+Peninsula+Chicago/local/483">The Peninsula Chicago</a> or <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/The+Peninsula+Hong+Kong/local/3267">The Peninsula Hong Kong</a> your temporary home during stays in those cities. The new cars will be available to suite guests for complimentary use three hours daily, starting now. Perfect timing for holiday shopping, of course. Last night, Peninsula Hotels unveiled these custom BMW MINI S Clubmans at the NY and Chicago properties, and we hung out in the middle of a New York City street to have a closer look.

The tri-level ESPA spa shows a whole fresh side of The Peninsula, incorporating Asian, European and Ayurvedic treatments instead of just the good old massage and facials. With its own atrium lobby and tea lounge on the 21st floor, the spa is almost a hotel within itself. We're intrigued by the aromatherapy thermal suites; is that just a fancy term for naked sauna? Truthfully though, the most spectacular bit of the spa has got to be the indoor pool with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking Midtown.
