Book here for a rooftop deck with a bar and cabanas that seat up to six. Non-guests can swim on weekdays with a $30 ResortPass.
The pool
The Fontaine's West Plaza roof holds the pool deck, and the Nine Zero One lounge sits on the 7th floor. The hotel calls its view one of the best within Kansas City. The catch is the season: the deck is summer only and is closed now.
Our take
Our pick if you're coming with a crowd. A cabana holds up to six, with shaded seating, poolside service, and food and cocktails from Nine Zero One. No other hotel on our list sells a private cabana.
The $30 day pass costs $10 more than the Sheraton's, and weekdays are the only days it works. Heating and pool floor are missing from the hotel's pages. Cabanas need advance reservations, so don't turn up on a Saturday hoping for one.
