This pool is cool.

Sure it sounds cheesy, but it's the truth. From the eclectic color patterns separating the hot tub from the pool (fashioned after So Long, Farewell from the Sound of Music as a tribute to owner Ben Bethel's best friend who passed away last year) to the water wall with a mirrored finish that reminds onlookers of liquid mercury, the Clarendon pool is more than a place to swim. It's a place to relax, visit and just soak up the positive vibes.

Recently named best pool in the Valley by Phoenix Magazine, Bethel's liquid hangout has a few other surprises, most notably an underwater sound system. Guess all the songs played and he'll hook you up with free rooms.

The hotel pool is open to the public, so don't be afraid to head for a dip even if you live close by. Poolside service is included, allowing pool goers to order beers and snacks without ever leaving their lounge chair.
