Who is ready for an adult pool day?!?! A glorious day to read and RELAX poolside in the sunshine. No one to chase after or “play with”… Nothing to worry about, expect deciding which salad to order for lunch, and whether you should wash it down with a spicy margarita or a crisp pink champagne? Decisions Decisions!
Mom’s… it’s been quite a year, and the time has come to grab your girlfriends or your hubs {or go solo!} and treat yo self! We’ve nearly made it through the final weeks of school, and we all deserve ONE afternoon of adulting to celebrate.
I’m outlining my favorite, chill worthy pools in the ATX, and how to get your butt in a lounge chair for the day pronto!
1. The Carpenter Hotel Pool
RESERVE your lounge chair right in the heart of Downtown ATX. Order from the amazing poolside menu (The Citrus/Avocado Salad is so satisfying y’all!!!), read a book, listen to a pod, do whatever you wish!
MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY 10AM-3PM OR 3PM-8PM. $25 PER PERSON
JUST SELECT POOL PASS ON RESY
2. Hotel Van Zandt Pool
If downtown views + chill vibes are what you’re after, book a resort pass at Hotel Van Zandt. Luxurious lounge chairs, stunning views and premium cabanas await your arrival. Adult pool passes start at $38 per person, and include free Wifi and validated $10 valet.
3. South Congress Hotel Pool
This local gem offers $30 day passes Monday thru Thursday. Drop the kids at camp, grab a girlfriend or that book you’ve been trying to finish, and enjoy lunch from Cafe’ No se’ {get the kale salad with or avocado toast!} while perched on a plush lounge chair!
Make sure to leave some time for shopping. South Congress has seriously upped its retail game this year!!
4. The Fairmont Austin
If a scene is what you are after, head over to The Fairmont Austin. My husband and I rented a cabana with friends last summer, and I felt like I was in Las Vegas. Think DJ mixing electronic beats, people dancing in the pool, pitchers of cocktails flowing.
I brought a stack of magazines with me to read, and quickly figured out it was not going to be that type of pool day (hahahaha). You’ve been warned!
Grab your resort pass HERE. Starting at $40
The Fairmont tacos are a must try!
5. JW Marriott Austin
Right in the heart of downtown you will find an expansive, Texas sized {heated!!} rooftop pool with all the amenities. Grab your sunblock, swimsuit and get ready to lounge poolside Monday through Thursday: 12:00pm – 9:00pm
Wishing you the happiest summer!
