This season’s food and beverage menu features tasty appetizers, hearty salads, artisan sandwiches, nutritious wraps and healthy juices that are all prepared fresh daily. New to this year’s menu are pizzas, quesadillas and frozen drinks with a featured daily food special. The Penthouse Pool & Lounge will also debut a new towel service where each lounge chair is fitted with a cotton terry cloth cover that is refreshed after each use.
The 12,000-square-foot member-only pool club and lounge features a highly stylized atmosphere that includes a 60-foot pool, private sun deck, ten private resort cabanas and one VIP cabana, communal fire pits and a membership lounge. The Penthouse Pool & Lounge is designed to look and feel like an urban oasis where guests and members can socialize and unwind in a sophisticated setting while appreciating panoramic capital views. At night the Penthouse mood is enhanced with glowing stone fire pits and changing colored lighting that illuminate the pool waters.

Currently under construction and near completion, the new VIDA Fitness lifestyle multiplex at The Yards development project in the Capitol Riverfront neighborhood at 1212 4th Street, SE will also house the popular Penthouse Pool & Lounge with a slated grand opening for Thursday, July 1.

Designed by Stoneking-von Storch Architects of Charlottesville, VA and Hallock Design Group of Miami, FL, the Penthouse Pool & Lounge at The Yards will display a more nautical aesthetic with a clean classic design that incorporates blue and white colors and green gardens throughout the pool deck. The lounge area will offer water front views featuring ship and aquatic elements; porthole mirrors, blue lighting, rope finishes, bubbled accent walls and grey flooring.
