Poolside Umbrellas For Hotels
The pool is a key attraction for every hotel. When guests visit a resort, they often want to spend their days lounging in the sun, sipping on cocktails, and cooling off in the water. Hotel management should thus make the poolside area as inviting as possible.
Poolside umbrellas for hotels are a perfect accessory to elevate any pool environment.
Poolside Umbrellas: Perfect for Hotels’ Outdoor Spaces
What’s the difference between a sunburn and a suntan? A pool umbrella! If your hotel has an outdoor pool, there will be hours in the day when the sun is at its hottest. Without adequate protection from the sun’s rays, guests will stay away from the hotel pool during its warmest hours. But if the poolside area is outfitted with enough umbrellas, more guests will be tempted to swim and lounge while ordering drinks from your food and beverage department.
These umbrellas don’t just protect from the sun; they also shield users from rainy weather. Even during mild rain showers, your patrons can enjoy the outdoors and spend time by the pool.
Poolside umbrellas are also a decorative feature that can make your hotel poolside look its best. These umbrellas come in bright colors and various shapes and sizes, allowing designers to mix and match or employ a more unified theme. Blending form and function, poolside umbrellas are a must-have for hotels.
Types of Umbrellas for Hotel Poolsides
If you’re looking to install umbrellas in your hotel pool area, you should be familiar with the different types available. Choose the umbrella that best matches your hotel’s aesthetic and meets your guests’ needs. There are four main types of poolside umbrellas for hotels.
1. In-Pool Umbrella
The most attractive and elaborate of all poolside umbrellas, the in-pool umbrella is fixed to the pool deck or floor. This type of umbrella provides shade directly above the water. It’s a must-have if your hotel pool also features a sunken bar.
2. Market Umbrella
This is the classic poolside umbrella, comprised of a simple canopy, a central rod, and a base mount. Market umbrellas are probably the first thing that comes to mind when you picture poolside umbrellas for hotels.
Our Windmaster 6.5' Square Umbrella is an excellent example of this.
3. Tilt Umbrella
The tilt umbrella is a modified version of the market umbrella with the same basic components. The difference is the central rod has a hinge that allows the canopy to be tilted at an angle. This is exceptionally useful during the late afternoon when the sun is lower.
4. Cantilever Umbrella
Also called an offset umbrella, this type features a cantilevered canopy that extends away from the rod. The rod itself isn’t attached to the canopy’s center from below but connects to it from above.
Grosfillex’s Windmaster 10' Square Cantilever Umbrella provides all the additional benefits of this outdoor umbrella.
