The Sheraton rooftop pool

After doing much research on the best place to spend a swelteringly hot weekday, I came up with The Sheraton.

Here are some of the facts:

1) I work 3-4 days a week and need somewhere cool to hang out on my days off.

2) I got sick of the reference library

3) The Four Seasons Hotel and the Radisson Hotel are the other venues that offer public assess to their outdoor rooftop pools.

4) The Four Seasons is $65.oo/day to enjoy and the Radisson doesn't open until June 15th (but will be $25.00/day)

5) The Sheraton is $28.00/day but also offers the public a summer pass ($400.00 for access from May-September 15th) which includes the use of the pool and 24 hour access to the gym.

6) The pool is roughly 1/3 indoor and 2/3 outdoors and is the perfect temperature.

7) There is a lane for swimming laps (I bought a swim cap, goggles, and racing suit)

8) There is a roof top bar that serves drinks

9) You can order room service if you forget to pack a lunch

10) For the men: I think a lot of strippers come here during the day to get tanned.

11) I've already made friends with pool regulars.
