When I think of Beverly Hills, I think of the origin of my favorite and least favorite health and fitness trends. But when I think of the, I think of something brand new: a group of wellness rooms.
As I entered my hotel wellness room for the first time, something felt different. It wasn’t just the cute stack of hand weights and curled up yoga mat; the floor was wood, with beautiful bleached wide plank floors that immediately gave the room an unstuffy, crisp feel. The seven new themed rooms , aim to optimize and elevate guests’ emotional and physical wellbeing while they stay.
In addition to the workout equipment, each room is filled with wellness technology; an air purification system, sleep therapy sound machine, and even meditation videos by Deepak Chopra. The hotel also added circadian lighting controlled by a Moodbox. It is engineered to simulate the color, temperature, and intensity of natural outdoor light, working to energize the body during the day and enhance sleep quality at night.
The rooms, which are located on the same floor as the spa, make it easy to zip back for your robe. The "surrender" massage was created to release deep tensions on physical, emotional and mental levels—which seemed like a good idea before boarding a red-eye flight back to New York. The massage was a mix of Swedish, acupressure, and intense stretching techniques.
With rates starting at $635/night, the wellness rooms make it easier for a frequent traveler to stick to their workout routines and not go off the rails with room service.
