In the past five years, I have seen many hotel chains putting
more money in renovating their workout facilities (e.g. the Sheraton Hotel at Syracuse University and the Courtyard by Marriott in Syracuse).
They are responding to travelers’ demand of having nice gyms in hotels. Some
travelers may even choose a hotel over the others because of the hotel’s
state-of-the-art workout facility.
This Fox News video takes us to tour some hotels with magnificent gyms and pools. Which one is your
favorite? For what reason? How important does a hotel’s workout facility mean
to you when you compare it with other factors such as price, location,
cleanliness, security, and service?
I was looking for this kind of information since a long time. You have finished my search by posting this link here. Any ways great post. Thanks for posting this here.

This gym looks great, but my problem is that during business trip, after day full of meetings I am glad when I will fall into the bed. Of course situation changes when you are there as tourist. But also in this case would location or services priority...
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, Lorne. I, myself, for example, love to work out in a hotel gym when I am going to a conference or traveling for leisure. When I am meeting with an important client or doing a job interview, I do not hit the gym unless I know for sure I am free of the day after finishing all other important businesses.
DeleteUnfortunately, hotels are welcoming many guests with diverse needs these days. It seems that they have no choice but to have the highest standards possible and address the different needs of customers in order to win in tough competitions. Who knows, maybe today I don't care about hotel gyms, but the next day, I want to use it.
To me, hotel gyms or pools are on top of my selection criteria. Cleanliness (brand standards), service, location, and then price are more important to me than the workout facilities. Most of the time, however, I can expect what I will get, including the workout facility, based on my knowledge of a brand.
