It’s wicked hot and muggy, Boston. These temperatures don’t seem to be cooling down anytime soon, but you can chill out at one of these pools around Boston.
The Colonnade Hotel Rooftop Pool
This Back Bay pool is open to non-guests on weekdays + is only open to hotel guests, condo residents, and cabana renters on the weekends. Pro tip: Get there early — entrance is first come, first served. There are also morning yoga classes and occasional nighttime events.
Mirabella Pool
This city pool in the North End is a perfect place to cool off with views of the Harbor. Swim sessions are 90-minutes long. If the pool reaches capacity, guests are asked to wait until the next session to take a lap.
