Monteleone suits a heated French Quarter rooftop swim at any time of year, daily 6am to 10pm. Non-guests can buy a ResortPass from $40, against $10 at Virgin and $25 at Omni.
The pool
Hotel Monteleone has a heated rooftop pool on Royal Street in the French Quarter. It is open daily 6am to 10pm, all year. The hotel doesn't publish the floor, and the day pass is the priciest on this part of our list.
Our take
If you want to swim in January, Monteleone is our pick. Average highs in New Orleans fall to 16.9°C then, and a heated pool open until 10pm gives you evening hours that Omni Royal Orleans (9pm) and its dusk-ending bar service don't. The poolside bar, Acqua Bella, serves cocktails and seafood from 11am to 6pm in season.
Price and access are the downsides. A day pass starts at $40 on ResortPass, against $25 at the Omni. The amenities page lists the pool as guests only yet mentions visitors with a resort pass, so treat a pass as subject to availability.
