The superb rooftop pool at The Joule hotel in Dallas
Ivy Hotel
Sure, a $75 million renovation has turned this Gaslamp Quarter hotel into one of San Diego's most notorious pleasure palaces (think in-suite stripper poles and a thumping, three-level nightclub), but The Ivy's most winning attribute has to be its Miami-worthy Eden Rooftop pool and lounge decked out with potted palms, poolside cabanas, and plush seating. The scene has already created a celebrity following (Kid Rock counts among past guests) and comes with stellar city views that stretch all the way from downtown to the harbor. Bring your (waterproof) camera with you. www.ivyhotel.com
