Winter in DC can be frosty, but at The Collective Apartments, you have all you need to stay active, entertained, and cozy without stepping out into the chill. With over 60 amenities, there’s no shortage of ways to have fun and embrace a luxurious indoor lifestyle this winter. Here are some of the best ways to make the most of The Collective’s offerings when it’s cold outside:
1. Try Your Hand at Golf in the Golf Simulator
Why brave the cold to play golf outdoors when you and your friends can hit the links right here at home? Gather some friends, grab some drinks, and play your favorite 18 holes in one of The Collective’s Golf Simulator! Whether you’re a novice practicing his swing on the driving range or a competitive golfer, it’s the perfect way to relax indoors.
2. Take a Dip in the Indoor Pool
Who says swimming is just for summer? The Collective’s indoor pool allows you to enjoy a swim no matter how cold it is outside. Go for some laps to stay fit or simply relax by the water—it’s like a mini-vacation right here at home.
3. Break a Sweat in the Rooftop Fitness Center
The cold weather can make it hard to find motivation to stay active, but The Collective’s state-of-the-art fitness center has everything you need. With both a rooftop fitness center and a fully equipped indoor gym, you can keep up with your workouts in an inspiring setting (check out some winter workouts here!). Take advantage of the panoramic views of the city or enjoy a group fitness class—you’ll feel energized and ready to take on winter. Then brave the elements and jump into the hot tub!
4. Relax and Rejuvenate in the Sauna and Spa Rooms
There’s nothing better than warming up in a sauna after spending time in the cold. At The Collective, you can unwind in the sauna or treat yourself to a day of relaxation in the spa rooms. Relaxing in the heat is a wonderful way to destress and warm your bones after braving the winter chill.
5. Challenge Friends on the Court in the Indoor Basketball, Racquetball, or Pickleball Courts
Cold days are the perfect time for a little friendly competition. The Collective’s indoor gym offers plenty of opportunities to have fun, whether you’re playing horse, pickleball, or racquetball. Challenge your friends or meet new neighbors while staying warm and entertained indoors.
6. Cozy Up in the Library Lounge
When you’re in the mood for some quiet time, grab a book and head to The Collective’s library lounge. With comfortable seating and a peaceful atmosphere, it’s an ideal place to escape the cold and dive into a great story. Pair it with a hot cup of tea, and you’ve got the perfect winter afternoon.
7. Host an Indoor Gathering in the Social Lounge
Winter doesn’t have to mean staying in alone. The Collective has multiple social lounges that are perfect for hosting gatherings with friends. Enjoy drinks, play games, or just chat by the fireplace. The beautifully designed spaces make every get-together feel special, even when the weather is less than inviting.
8. Pamper Your Pet in the Dog Spa
Your furry friend deserves some love during the winter too! The dog spa at The Collective makes it easy to give your pup a bath and grooming without dealing with the mess at home. A clean and happy dog is the perfect companion for cozy winter nights indoors.
9. Brave the Cold for Rooftop Firepit Fun
If you’re feeling adventurous, bundle up and head to the rooftop for some fresh air around the firepit. There’s something truly magical about the contrast of a crisp winter night and the warmth of a crackling fire. Gather your friends, make some s’mores, and enjoy the views of the city—it’s winter wonder at its finest.
