Best Hotels Promoting Fitness

With the growing trend of health and fitness, many travelers demand healthier food and easily accessible fitness options. In the not-so-distant past, hotels offered little for fitness aficionados, causing travelers to put a pause on their workout routine unless they felt obligated to do lunges in the hallway or run up and down the stairs.

Have no fear, hotels answered your prayers. In recent years, hotels have been paying attention to the demands of fitness-minded travelers and are upping their offerings. While fitness centers are improving, some hotels are making it effortless to stick to your workout routine. The opportunities are endless as hotels are offering complimentary bike rentals, the option of booking rooms with gym equipment, exercise balls and yoga mats, and some, like Trump and Westin, provide you with the clothes you need.

When you call the front desk at Sheraton Hotels and Resorts, ask for your complimentary gym-in-a-bag with exercises, mat, resistance band, massage stick and foam roller. Then head to the in-room, on-demand fitness videos and online training programs.

Kimpton Hotels provide guests with the free “roll-out” service, where a staff member comes to your room with flavored water, fresh fruit or dried fruits and nuts, will get your mat ready and turn on the 24-hour yoga channel. Kimpton also partners with PUBLIC bikes to offer complimentary bikes for all guests.

Some other fitness- and wellness-focused hotels include TRYP by Wyndham, Fairmont Hotels and Resorts, Affinia Hotels, Gansevoort Hotel Group, Hyatt Hotels and Resorts, Westin Hotels and Resorts, Trump Hotel Collection and Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts.

Besides the new and improved fitness equipment, hotels are ensuring guests of a quality sleep, with offering the perfect pillow, installing blackout shades, aromatherapy and relaxing sound machines. How will you find your zen?
