World's most beautiful hotel pools
Regardless of location—a city center, a dunes-blanketed desert, or a private tropical isle—the heart of a hotel is often its swimming pool. It serves as a social ground zero, where guests can see and be seen, mingle, and relax and recharge: essential pursuits, especially in these post-holiday wintry months.
A well-designed pool is almost as important as the hotel itself, which is why AD has scoured the globe for the most awe-inspiring watering holes. From a desert oasis to a Mediterranean icon to a technological wonder overlooking the Hong Kong skyline, these 10 hotel pools are sure to dazzle and inspire. Dive in!
Built in the traditional Cycladic style, with white-clay walls and a maze of staircases, wood bridges, and terraces, this picturesque Greek resort sits atop a cliff overlooking an extinct volcanic caldera. Despite its intimate size, the 27-room boutique property actually boasts two pools—a small cold-water option inside a cave, as well an extraordinary cobalt blue infinity pool featuring sweeping views of the azure waters of the Aegean Sea.

...and amazing heritage for a family. That's just awesome!
Reasonable too; the rates I saw are ~ $100/night.

Not that I have any of those, but simply cause it looks soothing and wonderful.

right next to I-70 and the Colorado River and major mountains. The only great one I've been to.
I hate water. Especially pools. The only water I like is in Lake Michigan, the Chicago River and the Mississippi and that's just because they rule. 
The husband and I have a difference of opinion on this. My opinion overrides by default, so there will be no pool in our future. BUT...I'm kind enough to only book vacations at hotels that include a pool. I'm not all bad.
