With summer officially coming to an end, we’re still holding out for that coveted September sun. So after being promised an Indian summer, sit tight with your sun cream at the ready and get yourself to one of these hotels to relax in the idyllic urban bliss whilst the rest of the city mops their stressed brows.
Sip cocktails in style at a rooftop bar, hang out in a secret garden sanctuary, dine alfresco in the hippest terrace restaurants, or soak up the sun in an outdoor hot tub. And did we mention sultry skyline views over the city at sun set?
Withe the help of LateRooms.com’s, here’s our pick pick of the very coolest hotels for basking in the last of the summer sun.
