<![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. Though the

So it's a given that at <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Hotel+Solamar-+A+Kimpton+Hotel/ian/223727">Hotel Solamar</a>, we'll forgo the stuffy fitness center to work our core in the Poolside Pilates program.

Members can use the hotel facilities and get discounts on food, pool cabana rentals, room rates, parking and meeting room rentals--just call ahead to make sure you can get into the rooftop pool area.
