Last one in's a rotten egg! We're finding the best places in the world to stick our toes in this summer (or next winter) for our World's Coolest Pools map. Know of any pools we must check out? Let us know.

If you want to swim in Sydney, you're better off trying one of its famous beaches than the pool at the Park Hyatt Sydney. We may not own a bathtub bigger than this rooftop pool, but we're fairly sure we've seen a few, and the endless turns would just be murder. But you don't enjoy the Park Hyatt pool because of its actual water, just loll about gazing at the Harbour Bridge and the Opera House and saying to yourself, I'm in Australia, mate!

Built in 1990 (or far too late for Hugh Jackman's Drover to be kicked out of it), the Park Hyatt is located in the colonial Rocks district of the city on a quay jutting out into the harbor. The triangular pool looks more like the whim of a Hollywood mogul with money to burn than an intentional recreation area, but hey, they have a fitness center for that.

The swoonworthy views will help you forget the size, which actually acts as a deterrent to keep many guests from venturing up there for longer than a look-see. Just don't splash, or there won't be anything left for a dip.
