10 New and Reimagined Hotel Pools for Summer

As summer temperatures rise, hotel pools are becoming a central amenity for travelers seeking relaxation and luxury. Across North America and globally, numerous hotels have recently unveiled new or significantly upgraded pool areas, enhancing their appeal for vacations and staycations. These revitalized spaces often feature stylish collaborations and updated furnishings, aiming to create idyllic scenes worthy of social media sharing.

Among the notable updates is The St. Regis Atlanta in Georgia, which has transformed its pool area into a "Pool Piazza" through a summer takeover with the Italian brand Etro. This collaboration incorporates custom Etro fabrics in vibrant paisley patterns on umbrellas, awnings, accent pillows, and staff uniforms. Special towels designed for the partnership are also available for purchase. Rates at The St. Regis Atlanta begin at $609 per night or 66,000 Marriott Bonvoy points.

In Miami, Florida, the Kimpton Surfcomber Hotel reopened its pool deck in May 2026 following a comprehensive redesign. This renovation coincided with the launch of the hotel's new Solei Beach Club. The updates include entirely new furnishings for the South Beach staple, aiming to provide a more vibrant and comfortable experience for guests.
