Why it's on the list
The Hollywood Roosevelt features the iconic Tropicana Pool, famed for its David Hockney mural on the bottom. It is open daily for swimming and lounging, with a dedicated pool deck offering a full-service menu from the Tropicana Cafe. The pool provides a lively atmosphere with weekend DJ sets and seasonal programming. Cabana Rooms are available exclusively to overnight guests, offering shaded lounging.
Why it's not higher
One source mentions a 'rooftop pool' at the Hollywood Roosevelt, which conflicts with other evidence suggesting only the Tropicana Pool, which is not on a rooftop.
