When the spin class sensation SoulCycle opened at Miami’s 1 Hotel South Beachlast year, guests rejoiced at no longer having to mourn missed classes and unburnt calories. Now, in partnership with interactive exercise bike company Peloton, Westin Hotels & Resorts are offering their own spin on the phenomenon: The hotel chain just added Peloton bikes to a number of guest rooms and hotel fitness studios. That means live or on-demand spin classes, straight from the comfort of your temporary home.
The new partnership marks another step forward in the health and wellness space for the hotel brand, which has already incorporated amenities like New Balance gear lending, (no need to bring your workout clothes!) and a sleep program that includes bedtime calls (as opposed to a wake-up call) and plush down beds.
“We have definitely seen a shift in the way today’s travelers are incorporating well-being into their travel routines whether for business or leisure,” Brian Povinelli, Westin Hotels & Resorts senior vice president and global brand leader tells Condé Nast Traveler. The Peloton partnership, he adds, infuses a social element for those craving their at-home group workouts.
“While global wellness trends show a growing demand for tribe workouts, travel can often be solitary.”
The Peloton bikes are available at U.S. properties only, including those in Chicago, Dallas, Kansas City, Los Angeles, Tampa, Richmond, and Houston. You can find a full list of participating properties here.
We can only hope they’ll expand internationally—because, really, who could complain about an early morning in-room spin sesh before an espresso on the terrace overlooking Rome’s Via Veneto?
