It will always, unless it is the same substance (in the same state) or something of equal density. Something of lower denisty always floats on something with higher.

Does hot water need salt to make something float?

It would depend on the item of course... it would take an awful lot of salt to make a bar of steel float. Likewise, a sealed empty bottle might float on either cold or hot water. However, water will expand when heated, thus reducing the density of the water. Salt will increase the density of the water. It is possible to find some items that would float in cold water, but not in boiling water without compensating with something like salt.
