If you plan to bring a few fresh towels outside to your hot tub when it’s laundry day, you may want to consider one that has a closed storage area to protect towels from getting wet. You can also find these hook-style towel holders in a variety of finishes and colors online. Some have the word ‘towels’ above the hooks, and others can be customized with a name or phrase. There are quite a few elegant towel/robe holders that are free-standing, but this is a great choice if durability is a top concern since it’s made of plastic.

When it comes to towel and tobe storage, there isn’t a one size fits all solution. It really depends on preferences like: While the above towel warmer box is great, I have to say it's a little overpriced for what it is. You can get the same basic setup by buying the pieces separately yourself. All you need is an insulated cooler and a microwaveable heat pad. It’s never a bad idea to have a spot where you can grab a towel and hang it when finished. Or toss it in a hamper you can leave outside. If you have a canopy protecting your hot tub, this is something small enough to mount on one of the wooden posts or beams and won’t get in the way.

If towel drying isn’t really a big deal, but you still want the convenience of having your towels near the hot tub, this is the perfect solution. I personally like the concept of having a drying area where you can store and hang your towels. Depending on your personal preferences, you can even add a hamper underneath this one, or take your towels inside when finished. Conclusion

However, if you typically bring your towels from inside or have a canopy, it’s not as big of a deal. If you’re not sure what towel or robe holder you prefer, below are a couple of solid options to go with whether you want something natural-looking or high-tech. 1. Milliard weather-resistant and portable towel tree I also like the fact that it has a shelf to keep sandals or slippers or clothes from getting wet on the ground. This is one of my biggest pet peeves when it comes to using hot tubs regularly! 6. Personalized towel hangersMost are made of rattan, are weather-resistant, and can be left outside under your gazebo or hot tub canopy. If you experience high winds quite often, it may be a good idea to consider one with a base that can be filled with water to avoid tipping over.

A note on heat pads: many are scented with lavender, which you might like but many people do not. So if you're in that latter camp, be sure to go with an unscented version. The one I have included above is unscented for this reason. Other than that, this is a great budget way to get yourself some insulated robe and towel storage for the winter! Final thoughtsIt's worth noting that the box itself is not insulated, so the heating pads are the only source of heat inside the box. Once the pads cool down, your clothes and towels will cool down with it. So if you want warm towels, you'll have to finish your soak while they are still nice and warm! Cheaper option: use a cooler and heat pad
