The biggest challenge with hosting a pool party in the winter is finding a location. Unless you have an indoor pool in your home, you're going to have to find an outside venue. We recommend contacting a hotel in your area. Local pools are another option, but hotels offer you a lot more party for your patronage.
Why host it at a hotel?
Renting out a local pool could cost you a lot more money than it's worth. Your time at the space is limited and chances are you'll have to follow a regimented party plan. At a hotel, you're free to follow your own schedule, and you also transform an ordinary pool party into a weekend getaway for the kids.
Hotel managers are extremely helpful, especially if you're renting two rooms for a night. Call the hotel you've scouted out and speak with the manager during a lower time of the day such as mid-afternoon. Better yet, take a quick ride over and talk to them in person. An honest conversation may turn out a better deal than you expected.
