4 Incredible Hanging Hotel Pools
Some hotel pools are more than a place to take a dip. They are designed to make a dramatic impression and heighten the sensations you experience when you swim. The infinity pool at Marina Bay Sands hotel is a great example.
The Skypark pool atop the Marina Bay Sands hotel, in Singapore, is one of the most magnificent pools on earth. The so called “infinity-pool” perched 200 meter above the ground atop three skyscrapers offers a mind-blowing view of the city’s skyline. These days high altitude pools are popping up on top of skyscrapers from New York to Bali to Sydney. As infinity-pools started becoming increasingly common, designers have had to come up with something new to up the ante. Recently, cantilevered pool tanks with see-through sides and flooring have started to gain international attention.
