Anyone who frequents the gym understands that its more than a facility to work out in, it's a lifestyle, and this reigns true as the first Equinox Hotel has opened its doors.
The new hotel boasts all the equipment one would expect from the high-end gym chain, and even exceeds expectations with the inclusion of a health club and spa designed by Joyce Wang. The hotel features 212 rooms for travel buffs to book their stay in, including 48 suites for those looking for an even more luxe experience.
The unique hotel concept is aimed at business travelers who don't want their work trips or vacations getting in the way of their fitness routine. The Equinox Hotel is open for booking at Hudsons Yard, New York.
