I think for a private pool you'd usually need to rent a whole private villa not a room, which will be pricey and I'm not sure how many hotels in central AD actually offer these (apart from very large ones in the hotel Residences), they tend to be more at the resorts like Bab Al Shams or Qasr al Sarab (both amazing places also!). My favourite hotel in AD is the Shangri-La, it has 2 beaches, good views of the Grand Mosque across the water, 2 pools, great restaurants (Bord Eau is ideal for a special dinner), you can go to the new Souk which has more restaurants and bars by gondola ride on the canal or in a golf cart. It's not in downtown AD but it's not far to drive anywhere (and traffic in AD not as hectic as Dubai!). The St Regis and Park Hyatt on Saadiyat Island are also good, again not walking distance to central areas like the Corniche but not far. For somewhere close to the Corniche with good views, you could try Etihad Towers and ask for a high floor - not stayed there but had dinner and I would imagine it's a good hotel.
