"Fitness franchise–turned–hospitality enclave the Equinox Hotel became one of those rare lifestyle brand crossover success stories when it first opened on the western fringe of Manhattan in 2019. Unsurprisingly, the hotel, which takes up 14 floors of a 92-floor building in Hudson Yards, is all about wellness and fitness—think massages followed by IV vitamin drips, cryotherapy chambers, and one of the prettiest rooftop pools in New York. The 212 rooms are equally lovely, with beds made of horse hair and non-toxic fibers and sauna-sized showers with multiple heads. And before you write off the hotel as being only for fitness fanatics, fear not: The focus here is on feeling good in your own body, not counting calories or weight loss." - CNT Editors
