A Chic Outdoor Venue: The Pool Side

The Pool Side at The Pride Hotel, Kolkata, offers a unique and refreshing alternative to traditional indoor banquet halls. This stylish outdoor venue, centered around the hotel's sparkling swimming pool, provides a chic and relaxed setting for a variety of social and corporate events. With an estimated area of 1500 square feet, it can comfortably accommodate up to 150 guests for a standing cocktail reception or a casual networking event. The ambiance here is one of laid-back sophistication, where the gentle reflections on the water and the open sky create a memorable backdrop. It is an ideal choice for event planners looking to create an experience that feels less formal and more engaging. The space truly comes alive in the evening, as ambient lighting transforms the area into a magical setting perfect for cocktail parties, fashion show after-parties, product launches, or celebratory social gatherings. The open-air environment offers a welcome change of pace from enclosed rooms, allowing guests to mingle freely in a beautiful, resort-like atmosphere right in the heart of the city's business district. This unique combination of urban convenience and relaxed elegance makes the Pool Side a highly sought-after venue for distinctive events.

Perfect for Stylish Socials and Receptions

The Pool Side is custom-made for events that aim to impress with style and flair. It is the perfect canvas for a glamorous welcome party for conference delegates, allowing them to unwind and network in a casual setting before the main event begins. It is equally well-suited for a post-conference gala dinner under the stars, providing a rewarding and memorable conclusion to a day of intense meetings. For social events, the venue is a spectacular choice for birthday celebrations, anniversary parties, or pre-wedding cocktail functions. The layout can be creatively utilized with high-top tables, lounge-style seating, and dedicated food and bar stations, encouraging movement and interaction among guests. A live band or a DJ can be set up to provide entertainment, with the music adding to the vibrant atmosphere. Event planners can work with the hotel's team to enhance the space with creative lighting, floral arrangements, and themed decor, completely transforming the area to match the event's vision.
