The Poolside Press invites guests of The Colony to relax and enjoy a refined poolside reading experience, featuring a curated newsstand of the most coveted titles from Hearst Magazines’ Fashion & Luxury portfolio, including ELLE,  Elle DECOR, Esquire, Harper’s BAZAAR, Town & Country, and VERANDA. As a part of The Poolside Press experience, guests will receive a magazine menu upon settling by the pool, allowing them to easily select from the curated collection—bringing a new layer of sophistication and relaxation to the already dynamic atmosphere, all while nodding to a simpler, more nostalgic time.
