Summer in Toronto means one thing: hitting the pavement and hoping you'll find somewhere along the way to cool down from the scorching temperatures.
Luckily, when beaches are crowded and you want a more elevated experience, there are a ton of hotels around the city that offer day passes to their pools.
Some of these pools offer impressive skyline views and good eats, while others provide a relaxing indoor environment that feels like a vacation.
Here are some hotel swimming pools available to the public in Toronto.
You can't beat the views sitting atop the Radisson Blu's Lakeview Pool Lounge. With the Toronto skyline to marvel at, enjoy some sips and eats while lounging poolside on this waterfront rooftop.
