Group selects 11 best US hotel gyms
“The Best Hotel Gyms in the US” were selected by Athletic-Minded Travelers, LLC, a Southern California-based lifestyle media company that claims to operate the largest healthy travel site on the web.
The “Top 11” hotel gyms received the company’s recommendation after research on over 3,000 hotels and anonymous personal tours by the editorial staff. Selection criteria included facility size, equipment quantities, multi-sport options (such as lap pool, sport court, etc.), and overall ambiance/atmosphere.
To be considered as a “hotel gym,” the facility must be located on hotel property or within an adjacent building.
“Our online resource has experienced tremendous growth and success because millions of travelers now care about exercise options while away from home (up to 50% in one study) and want to learn about fantastic facilities like these,” said Jim Kaese, co-founder and managing director of Athletic-Minded Traveler.
The group’s findings:
1. Houstonian (Houston)
2. Park Hyatt at Bellevue (Philadelphia)
3. Four Seasons (San Francisco)
4. Embassy Suites Lakefront (Chicago)
5. Venetian (Las Vegas)
6. Bellevue Club (Bellevue, WA)
7. Inn at Ponte Vedra (Florida)
8. Grand Hotel (Minneapolis)
9. JW Marriott (Orlando)
10. Ritz Carlton Boston Common
11. Le Parker Meridien (New York)
