The Pool at ModernHaus SoHo

"Another pricey but exquisite boutique, just north of Canal Street, featuring panoramic views from the stylish rooms and all the extras; iPod stations, free wi-fi (and use of Mac computers), snacks and drinks, and rooftop pool and bar"

"For a more SoHo spirit, ride up to the roof where the shimmering pool makes a beautiful backdrop for the sexy glass-enclosed bar and lounge, Jimmy"

"Other perks include a plunge pool and hip rooftop lounge called The Jimmy, an urban garden on the second floor for more outdoor lounging, and room service from star chef David Burke, whose restaurant is on the first floor"

"Added sex appeal is provided by the rooftop plunge pool, complete with slinky bar for see-and-be-seen cocktails"

"Travelers could also consider the nearby boutique Greenwich Hotel, which has a Japanese-inspired spa and pool (the James can arrange in-room massages)"

"Although the attractions of Soho and Tribeca beckon, the hotel offers tempting facilities: a seasonal three-level “urban garden,” which houses an outdoor bar and eatery (one of two restaurants on site), and a rooftop bar that opens onto the (tiny) pool"

"Along with Jimmy, the rooftop offers up a pool-with-a-view that guests will dream about long after they've gone home"

"Soho border spot a walled city of chic, topped with lux rooms and a swinging rooftop cocktail/pool scene at Johnny Swet's Jimmy"

"Gushing guests "absolutely love the views" from the "amazing" rooftop pool and bar at this "modern" SoHo high-rise, a "favorite" thanks to the "spacious", "calming" quarters "designed to make you feel at home" that feature "sleek" furniture, "great" rain showers and high-end bedding; complimentary snacks are a "masterful touch", and the David Burke Kitchen, a "tranquil" urban garden and "thoughtful" staffers encourage repeat visitors"

"Although small, the seasonal rooftop pool — and a Grilled Pineapple Mojito (caliche rum, grilled pineapple, mint and lime) at JIMMY's bar — offer respite after a day of shopping in Soho, as does the finger food at the mezzanine-level Treehouse Bar"
