Nothing beats the late summer/early fall heat like a refreshing beverage or a cold cocktail under the shade of a poolside umbrella. Santa Monica residents are lucky enough to have a pool close by, as many of the City’s world-class hotels offer day-use passes that allow non-overnight guests to enjoy their pools and other facilities.

Here’s a quick rundown of four notable Santa Monica hotel pools, all located along Ocean Avenue, offering a wide range of amenities and fees.

**Fairmont Miramar**

Located just steps from Palisades Park, the Fairmont Miramar, with its magnificent swimming pool surrounded by swaying palm trees, waterfalls, tropical flowers and koi ponds, feels a world away. Day passes are available from dayaxe.com for just $20, making it one of the best-kept secret bargains in the City. While you’re there, you can enjoy a refreshing cocktail at The Bungalow, unwind at the hotel’s luxury spa, Exhale, or grab a bite at the acclaimed Fig restaurant. A popular spot with locals, the Fairmont offers a relaxed vibe in a beautiful setting.

This large beachfront pool offers incredible ocean views from just south of the Santa Monica Pier. Take a dip and follow it with a relaxing soak in the hot tub. The pool is open from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily, so you can even enjoy a perfect sunset at the poolside bar. Enjoy yoga in the salt air, get a massage at the spa or just people-watch from the two-tier deck overlooking Ocean Front Walk. As long as the pool area isn’t packed with hotel guests, you can buy a day pass that gives you access to the pool, the sauna and the steam room and will set you back just $25\. Phone ahead first to check availability.

Find paradise at the Hotel Shangri-La pool for $50 per day. Reminiscent of the Queen Mary’s art deco pool deck, the Shangri-La pool deck offers access to all chase lounge and poolside dining, where $25 of your entry fee is used as a credit towards your food and beverage. To further your relaxation, enjoy access to Xanadu Spa, where you can slip away into a full Swedish massage. Top off your day of Zen and treat yourself to a martini on the outdoor rooftop bar, Onyx, Santa Monica’s top destination to watch the sunset! Get there early and enjoy happy-hour deals during the week from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. or a night out with friends on Saturday nights, where a house DJ spins after 8 p.m.
