'We're all attracted to water environments, and we associate pools with luxury,' theorizes Elon Kenchington, COO of the Gansevoort Hotel Group. 'The swimming pool also captures a desire from our childhoods.'

The 110-foot-long pool on top of their Miami venue is lined with palm trees and plays underwater music, it's also elevated, so swimmers have views of the ocean and the surrounding city. At night, Kenchington says, 'we add candles and rearrange the atmosphere into a leisure-lounge bar feel.'
