As local travel experts, we know what travelers are looking for when it comes to finding the perfect accommodations for their next trip.

While there are plenty of swimming holes in Arizona where you can make a splash on a hot day, sometimes, a bit of luxury is just what the doctor ordered. If you’re looking for a slightly more upscale summer adventure, nothing quite compares to the Lylo Swim Club at Rise Uptown Hotel in Phoenix. By and large one of the best hotel pools in Arizona, this exclusive swimming spot is a must-visit.
The only boutique hotel in Uptown Phoenix, Rise is a mid-century paradise boasting in-room record players, neon signs, and an overarching sense of nostalgia that will whisk you back to yesteryear.
Another thing that sets Lylo apart is the all-day menu of gourmet, Hawaiian-Japanese fare. From pork dumplings to a bucket of fried chicken with peanut slaw to steam buns, you really can't go wrong.
Poolside cocktails, anyone? Nothing quite compares to sipping some bubbly while dangling your feet in the water. Try a boozy Dole Whip, passionfruit martini, or a simple glass of wine or beer - it's five o'clock somewhere, right?
Rise is also home to a popsicle stand located at the check-in desk! Hotel guests each receive one free pop of their choosing - why not take yours out by the pool for a refreshing summer treat?
