If you’re looking to take a dip before
the summer ends, a Long Island City
hotel has officially opened its rooftop
pool to the public on Wednesday.
The Profundo Pool Club at the Ravel
Hotel will make its debut today at noon
on the hotel’s third floor. Located at 8-08
Queens Plaza South, the 50-foot by 50-foot
hotel is open to visitors and hotel guests
from Wednesday to Sunday from noon to
9 p.m. A grand opening was held on Aug. 3.
The pool is surrounded by a deck
and lawn area dotted with Bali-inspired
daybeds and cabanas. Visitors will also
be treated to music from guest DJs
every day and the pool club features a
bar with a menu and beverage program.
The menu includes dishes like tuna
poke, jumbo shrimp cocktail, baha fish
tacos, burgers, sushi, lobster rolls and
fries. For drinks, the hotel serves poolside
punch, frosé, spiked lemonade, blueberry
mojitos, a variety of spritzers and frozen
drinks.
Visitors can gain access to the rooftop
by purchasing a day pass starting at $50
or by reserving a day bed that starts at
$200. The Sunset Swim option allows
guests to swim after 5 p.m. for $25.
