- Daytime Swim Passes: Sometimes it feels like everyone else has access to a beautiful turquoise pool on a hot day and we’re stuck gazing over the fence. Don’t let that be you! Many hotels offer access to their pools for a small fee – even if you’re not staying there. For a weekday dip, check out the Dream Hollywood, which offers daytime swim passes all summer, Monday through Wednesday.
