McCarren Hotel & Pool, NYC

Right in the middle of Brooklyn's most vibrant neighbourhood, the McCarren Hotel & Pool offers a New York stay like no other. Ideally located and overlooking McCarren Park, this luxury accomodation includes one major benefit: one of NYC's largest outdoor saltwater swimming pools. Open three seasons of the year, people flock to enjoy the atmosphere and to be seen poolside with some of NYC's coolest locals.

Of course, all that swimming is bound to leave one peckish, so why not visit The Elm, McCarren's Michelin starred restaurant, which also serves brunch on weekends. Located on the eighth floor, guests can also enjoy the hotel's rooftop bar, soaking in panoramic views over McCarren Park and the city beyond. The hotel regularly hosts DJs to entertain the guests, making it the perfect escape for the city dweller who can't bear to fully part with the buzz of the metropolis.
