The outdoor, rooftop pool has a beach feel. Extra-wide lounge chairs are pushed together on one side to create the largest communal couch we’ve ever seen. The dining area is shaded by umbrellas, and two bars complete the scene. It’s a very relaxed atmosphere where kind servers in striped dresses cater to your needs.
