There are pools. And then there are rooftop pools. Whether lingering at the water’s edge with a cocktail or enjoying a few easy laps before dinner, there are few greater pleasures than taking in sweeping views from a sun-baked pool without the clamour of street level.And they’re the ideal way to blend a city break with a chance to properly kick back and forget the everyday.
