Our take
Of the pools on our list, this has the thinnest published detail. Level, also in River North, at least names its pool as outdoor, heated and on the roof, with a season.
The downside is the closure. The hotel notes that the pool and fitness room close from August 24 and gives no reopening date. Call before booking if the pool matters to your stay. Guests get pool and beach towels.
