The Pool at Mansion on Forsyth Park

"Amenities: Pool, Spa View the entire Hot List of the travel world's most noteworthy debuts in 2006 ›"

"Fancy and otherworldly, this pool is not your ordinary hotel watering hole"

"The hotel's focal point is a courtyard and a small but artfully postmodern swimming pool"

"The Mansion on Forsyth Park is arguably one of the best -- and most special -- hotels in town, with a wonderful art collection, a great cooking school, a solid spa, an outdoor relaxation pool and a popular restaurant on-site"

"The hotel is full of whimsical details as well, from the vintage hat collection to the outdoor swimming pool with twisted marble pillars"

"Next door, a newer building houses all 126 guest rooms, a small pool, a full spa, and hundreds of pieces from owner Richard Kessler’s art collection"

"Recreation is varied, with a small spa, small courtyard pool and a small but well-equipped gym"
