McCarren Hotel & Pool, New York
But it's thepool in the back courtyard "surrounded by apartment buildings and candy-coloured, mid-century pool furniture that makes this hotel a special Brooklyn experience". No one actually swims in it Williamsburg is hipster country, after all. Rather, they drink peach-coloured cocktails and "strike louche poses", says Morais. But "this is what a Palm Springs swimming pool, filled with starlets and hungry actors, must have looked like circa 1953".
The hotel is an ideal base for a tour of the city, or walks along the river. The modern interiors may not be to everybody's tastes, and the rooms are snug.
