The Pool at The Colonnade Hotel

"The seasonal "rooftop resort" and swimming pool are a welcome retreat in warm weather"

"In summer the recently renovated roof-deck pool with a full bar, all-day menus, weekly yoga, and private cabanas available for rent is the place to be, and draws a mix of local glitterati and lithe European vacationers"

"But the real reason to stay at the Colonnade is the rooftop pool, or RTP, as it’s known"

"The Colonnade used to boast the only hotel rooftop pool in Boston, but the Revere Hotel Boston Common now also has this rare feature"

"Amenities include a rooftop pool and a ground-level bistro"

"Rooms are spacious, and in summer months there’s access to a rooftop pool – the only one in Boston"

"The rooftop pool boasts spectacular views, while the 1,000-square-foot fitness center offers a view, plus cardio equipment and weights"

"Couture bikinis come out for superior roof-top pooling, while next-door brasserie keeps Euroflash happy with pommes frites and croque monsieurs"

"In an "excellent" Back Bay location "within an easy walk of shops and restaurants", this "wonderful", 11-story boutique veteran is headlined by a "cool", "relaxed" seasonal rooftop pool, "amazing" bar and a "very good" French bistro; a "welcoming" staff provides "accommodating" service, and the "spacious", "stylish" rooms have been modernized in a "contemporary" style and feature floor-to-ceiling windows, flat-screen TVs and Keurig coffeemakers"

"In 2014, the hotel also renovated its rooftop pool—the only one in the city—to add a 12-seat bar, bamboo flooring, and luxury private cabanas"
