Take an outdoor rooftop pavilion, add a sleek, see-and-be-seen bar, a sparkling pool, and stellar views for miles, and you’ve got the makings of one perfectly fabulous night.

Nothing quite says summer in the city like an alfresco lounge on high. And thanks to the wealth of urban hotels that have been opening cocktail aeries, travelers looking to add a little height to their vacation getaways have never had so many options for taking to the skies.

Cities like Los Angeles, New York, and Miami dominate the hotel rooftop bar trend. You can float atop the Manhattan skyline at the Peninsula’s Salon de Ning, soaking up its glamorous 1930s Shanghai vibe, complete with Chinese daybeds. In South Florida, preside over the ocean with a mojito in hand at the Viceroy Miami, which towers 50 floors above Brickell Avenue; visitors can see from Biscayne Bay all the way to the Everglades. Want to mingle with the stars under the stars? Finagle your way into the recently revamped Skybar at the Mondrian West Hollywood and you’ll have no shortage of gorgeous L.A. views.
