Gone are the days when staying well on vacation was limited to getting a massage at the onsite spa—hotel wellness offerings continues to innovate to keep up with an increasingly stressed out world. One such hotel leading the charge is Peninsula Hotels, which launched its Life Lived Best program this past March.
“With this new Wellness programme, we are breaking new ground in helping our guests to maximize their health and well-being,” says Gareth Roberts, Group Director of Brand and Operations Support at The Peninsula Hotels, in an official press release. “Our wellness offerings are an invitation for guests to take time for themselves, to find balance and vitality, and to engage with local cultures.”
For the Peninsula New York, set on the bustling corner of 55th Street and Fifth Avenue in Midtown Manhattan, the new program is a welcome addition given its location amidst the urban rush. Upon stepping inside the awe-inspiring lobby beneath a giant chandelier, you would never guess the plethora of wellness amenities on offer within its storied walls.
The obvious first stop for wellness is the Peninsula Spa on the 22nd floor. Here you’ll find spacious relaxation lounges with individual music and lighting for each bed, an Asian-inspired tea lounge and 10 treatment rooms, including a spacious private spa suite. French luxury skincare line Biologique Recherche is used for their popular facials while Australian line Subtle Energies provides the aromatherapy for treatments that combine classic Ayurvedic methods with contemporary techniques.
Following your treatment, you’ll want to linger to experience the aromatherapy steam room and sauna. But the absolute must-visit lies on the spa’s second floor, where a glass-enclosed swimming pool glistens against the cool black tile floor and offers panoramic views of Midtown and Central Park.
Next to the pool, you’ll find the state-of-the-art fitness centre for working up a sweat. Keeping in theme with the spa’s use of natural materials, the centre features bamboo floors, teak accents and natural ambient lighting to create a soothing environment. As part of the Life Lived Best program, special fitness classes are co-hosted by local partners and fitness experts, like barre and pilates led by Physique 57 and a weekly running group with Central Park Run Club.
For those who prefer to workout in private, guests will appreciate the virtual fitness programming on their in-room television. Forgot your gear at home? The Life Lived Best 24-hour Wellness Concierge has you covered. Following your in-room workout, guided meditations led by Breethe are also available on your in-room TV.
“Finding even a few minutes a day of ‘me time’ can have a profound impact on our overall health and mindset, and science supports this,” says Breethe co-founder Lynne Goldberg in an official press statement. “Our aim is to make this easily achievable, even for busy travellers—and we’re thrilled to do this through our first global hotel partnership with The Peninsula Hotels.” The virtual mindfulness programming also includes bedtime stories and soothing music to help you wind down after a busy day in Manhattan.
