The Pool at Ace Hotel New Orleans

"No worry, cuz you’ll be chillin with the under 30 crowd in the action-packed lobby bar, excellent Josephine Estelle restaurant; packed rooftop pool and bar Alto; 3 Keys club space; and Seaworthy oyster bar"

"The rooftop pool is especially popular during sweltering summer months"

"Rooftop gardens are a rarity in NOLA, so Alto being open to the public is already a big draw, combining as it does a menu of Italian small plates and a top-notch pool"

"Perched atop the Ace Hotel, this poolside lounge offers Italian-inspired salads, small plates and skewered meats from the chefs of downstairs hot spot Josephine Estelle, plus seasonal cocktails, craft beer & wine all in a gardenlike setting with views of the city"

"There's also an outpost of Portland’s Stumptown coffee chain, as well as a second Italian eatery, in the panoramic poolside rooftop garden"

"A sassy spot in the Warehouse District in which to bed down, kick back and sip a Sazerac by the rooftop pool, cooling off after a night of southern dining and jazz in the Big Easy"

"The building itself is a 1928 art deco masterpiece in the Warehouse District, occupied by a Scandinavian furniture company for most of its existence, and now topped with a pool that’s open year round in the balmy, humid Southern weather here"

"Each Ace outlet offers slightly unique beverage choices: craft cocktails for happy hour in the lobby, or whiskey and a beer for a late night 3 Keys show, wine, and aperitifs at Josephine Estelle, and frozen and fruity inventions poolside on the roof"

"Eating, drinking, and music are a big deal here, with a concert venue and multiple restaurants/bars including a wildly popular rooftop bar and outdoor pool"
