Story

Who would have imagined a fitness brand venturing into the hotel business? The Equinox Group broke the stereotype by opening its first Equinox Hotel Hudson Yards in New York City. The story behind it is also exciting. The hotel industry has been trying to take a piece of the $4 trillion wellness industry for years. But, while gyms and fitness centers are on many hotel plans, not many have moved forward with the idea.

Those ideas are more of a fad than an actual effort towards fitness. But, that's what the Equinox Group noticed. As a result, they used this underserved niche and established a luxury hotel around an active lifestyle. Thoughtfully designed, Equinox, New York, is the first of the many hotels where guests can continue their active lifestyle. This is all while enjoying a homely environment away from home. Coming from the cult gym brand, the resort houses its largest fitness club yet.

Structure

Equinox Hotel, Hudson Yards is one of the most extensive private real-estate developments in the US's history. The limestone and glass skyscraper is the tallest building in the area. Moreover, it has two entrances; one for the hotel guests and the other for gym members.

The guest entrance opens a modest entryway designed with stone, wood, and an undulating metal wall. At its end are elevators where the attendants helpfully usher guests to the lobby on the 25th floor. Their sky lobby is also something to talk about. It's an ultramodern space with black stone floors and designer sofas.

Every element here is gorgeous and luxurious. So much work has gone into the design to make this sanctuary quiet and calming. The designers carefully chose luxury materials like leather, resin, and stone to make the reception light and airy.

Accommodations

Like the rest of the hotel, the accommodations here are also downright luxurious. You can choose between the various 212 rooms and suites. All the living spaces share similar features, and if you are not satisfied, you can always ask for a room upgrade.

Although the average hotel room is usually tiny, the entry-level Deluxe City View guest room has more than Equinox's middle space. They have made them so guests can work out inside if they want. For this purpose, they've included a trio of floor-to-ceiling adjustable mirrors.

Just as the hotel is the temple of fitness, each room is designed as a sleep temple. Additionally, since construction is in progress around the area, they have adopted serious soundproofing in padded walls and leather upholstered headboards to block noise.

The beds feature all-natural and handmade mattresses to keep you cool at night. Another good thing about the beds is that they don't transfer movement. As a result, if your partner is restless, it won't disturb your sleep.

Having two separate duvets also helps with temperature regulation. Moreover, it is whisper quiet and completely dark at night. However, the motion detector will automatically illuminate the room with a soft glow if you get off the bed. Next to the minibar is a selection of workout gear that is free to use.
