Summer is heating up here in Boston and the best way to handle high temps is by dipping your feet in the temperate water of a pool, cocktail in hand. Equipped with pools, scenic rooftops, popular restaurants, views for days, and lots of amenities, these hotels and hotspots are the perfect staycation or daycation spots to get a little R&R in before summer ends.
