In a nice location not beyond the bottom of central park and under £100 a night.
Cheaper the better.

Do Manhatten hotels have outside pools? :confused:
(edit... a quick scan of Google Earth... well there's a handful in the whole of Manhattan that I can see... I think you might struggle, but best of luck anyways)

Most places wait until late May - early June to open the pools. I think Easter is a bit optimistic.

holiday inn midtown 57th street has a roof top pool, I think it's reasonable too but not sure if the location is any good to you
What a bizarre request!
An outside pool in Manhattan?!
There are quite a lot of puddles here now, you could go swimming in melted, muddy, post-blizzard slush.
also...you don't want to go south of the bottom of Central Park?
Why not?
No pool, but try the youth hostel on Amsterdam Ave. - it's cheap and definitely not south of the park

.
why? I think it's a great idea, I am now looking to change the hotel we are staying in to one with a roof top pool, you get great views and it's a fab way of cooling off after a long day site seeing

I think I checked that one, very reasonable but already booked up.
I think it's a great idea too, it's just so un-New York to me. There are a few outdoor community pools around NYC, but outdoor swimming pools are among the last things I associate with New York.

Not if you are married and in your 30's

I have now been seraching for hotels with pools, the ones with the external pools are really expensive such as the Gansevoot but there are quite a few that have indoor pools, the QT looks quite funky, if you search on expedia you can do an advance search to include pools. the hotel that I now want is Le Parkar Meridien but it's very expensive but my mate has just got me the Westin in Times Square for 3 nights for 2 of us for £500, no pool but a great view.

If theres no pool I might just stay at a mates house. Plus I don't really want to spend more than £100 a night.
If you want a cheap hotel with a pool you'll have to go somewhere sunny like Florida or California.

There's a great public outdoor pool on Houston St, but no hotel attached. You'll be struggling to find a hotel of any description for under $100.

nope, not gonna happen. :( sorry. April in the northeast is still wintry. There can be, and usually is a huge temperature difference between April and May, where it goes from freezing to very hot (sporadically). It doesn't get consistently hot anywhere until June really though. So most outdoor pools really don't open till June (or later).

Nayhh, doesn't matter now anyway as I am going to stay with a mate of mine in the village.
