The thought of vacation<\/a> might conjure images of lazy beach days and frozen margaritas, but nowadays you can get even more out of your trip than a relaxing getaway. (Though that\u2019s fun, too!) A recent survey<\/a> from British Airways found that 66 percent of people look for ways to stay healthy while traveling, and 34 percent seek out airlines and hotels that specifically provide good-for-you menu options<\/a>. That\u2019s why we rounded up the best hotels that offer these coveted options. Between in-room spin bikes and run concierges, a stay at one of these hot spots will help propel your diet and exercise goals<\/a> forward \u2014 so hitting the road never sets you back.<\/p>\n

\nNot everyone enjoys flowing through sun salutations<\/a> in a room full of strangers. And Edition Hotels gets that. Which is why each of their properties has partnered with Yoga for Bad People<\/a> to offer on-demand, in-room yoga classes. Put yourself in the right frame of mind with a guided meditation, then choose your style, including vinyasa, hatha and more. When you\u2019re finished, refuel with a healthy elixir stashed in your mini bar from the LA-based shop Moon Juice<\/a>.<\/p>\n

According to a global survey of nearly 8,000 people, Westin Hotels discovered that adventure travel<\/a> is a top way to explore the world. More than 1 in 4 respondents said they planned on making an adventure-focused trip<\/a> in the next year, which is nearly double the amount of travelers who did so in the last three years. To keep up with the demand, Westin rolled out their Let\u2019s Rise initiative, which incorporates all sorts of active programming based on where you\u2019re staying.<\/p>\n

To highlight\u00a0a few perks: There\u2019s a cycling<\/a> concierge at the Westin Peachtree Plaza<\/a> in Atlanta, an on-mountain hike and bootcamp workout at the Westin Bear Mountain Golf Resort & Spa, Victoria<\/a> (not to mention tennis and golf concierges), and a surf concierge at the Westin LAX<\/a>. And because you can run, well, anywhere, they also have nearly 200 run concierges globally<\/a>, so there\u2019s always someone to log miles with and show you can\u2019t-miss spots in a new city.<\/p>\n

Location:<\/strong> Scottsdale, AZ<\/p>\n

When you book a stay at Sanctuary, know open bars and endless buffets won\u2019t distract you from your fitness goals. In fact, their unique health-minded services help you stay laser-focused on them. The hotel has Olympic gold-medalist trainers (like swimmer Misty Hyman<\/a>) on hand to get you in shape for, say, a triathlon<\/a>, for which they offer a three-day package<\/a>. Our other favorite workout offerings: Zennis, a unique hybrid of yoga and tennis<\/a> (you\u2019ll get nice and limber for all those backhand swings) and hiking Camelback mountain. After all, you can\u2019t be in Scottsdale and not <\/em>immerse yourself in nature. You can book both fitness ventures as part of a Satori Wellness Retreat, which offers up a weight plan, customized workouts, healthy meals<\/a> and spa treatments.<\/p>\n

Staying healthy on the road isn\u2019t just about squeezing in a workout \u2014 it\u2019s important to make time for recovery<\/a> and relaxation, too. You can do just that at the sprawling Four Seasons Resort & Club in Dallas. Boasting one of the best golf courses in the country (and home to the annual AT&T Byron Nelson<\/a>), you\u2019ll want to hit the greens and then head to the Well & Being Spa<\/a>. One top treatment: MAT, or muscle activation therapy, a non-invasive approach to correcting muscular imbalances, joint instability and limitations in range of motion. Guests can also hop into one of the many classes offered at The Sports Club<\/a>. From AntiGravity yoga<\/a> to indoor cycling and SURFSET fitness, you\u2019re guaranteed to find the right fit.<\/p>\n

Be honest: When you Google random symptoms online, you may <\/em>check out WebMD because it pops up first in your search. But you trust <\/em>the Mayo Clinic. And now when you need a place to stay in Minneapolis (one of the healthiest cities in the U.S.<\/a>), Loews Hotel hooks you up. Guests can sign up for the Rally Package<\/a>, where you\u2019ll get a nutrition consultation with the Mayo Clinic Sports Medicine<\/a> experts, along with an hour-long EXOS<\/a> Rally performance-training<\/a> class. Coaches from the EXOS staff lead each session, including former conditioning coach for the Seattle Mariners Adam Maronde and Calin Butterfield, who\u2019s worked with athletes from the NFL, NHL, MLB and MLS. In other words, they know their stuff.<\/p>\n

Locations:<\/strong> New York, NY (seven locations)<\/p>\n

New York City has one of the most robust fitness scenes in the country. But when you visit, there\u2019s only so much you can try with limited time and steep prices (you\u2019ll pay about $35 per class). That\u2019s where Triumph Hotels comes in. Each of their seven locations has a partnership with FitReserve<\/a>, a multi-studio fitness membership similar to ClassPass. Guests can choose the TravelPack<\/a> option to gain access to three fitness classes during their stay for only $54 (meaning you basically get a class for free). With more than 44,000 classes and 400 studios to choose from, you\u2019ll never run out of workout inspiration<\/a>. And if for some reason you\u2019re not able to squeeze in all three classes, the TravelPack remains open for three months. So you\u2019ll just have to book that second visit.<\/p>\n

Location:<\/strong> Tucson, AZ<\/p>\n

Have your sights set on an Ironman this year? We found your dream destination. Canyon Ranch has teamed up with coaching company Sansego<\/a> to give you the opportunity to steal training secrets<\/a> from three-time Ironman World Champion Craig Alexander<\/a> (aka Crowie). Dubbed the Sansego Experience, you\u2019ll start your 3- to 5-day getaway with an interview with a Sansego triathlon coach, who helps you set specific goals. Then, with a custom-made plan, you\u2019ll ride and run on epic routes through Tucson, work through private swim workouts<\/a> in the outdoor pool (with video analysis so you can immediately start improving), eat nutritionist-designed meals that fuel your performance and receive one-on-one exercise physiology testing (including finding your metabolic rate and VO2 max<\/a>). You can even learn how to improve your mind game<\/a> with a mental skills coaching session.<\/p>\n

As if that wasn\u2019t enough, you\u2019ll also score a sweet swag bag (worth $750) from Crowie\u2019s sponsors. The \u201ccamp\u201d isn\u2019t cheap with rates starting at $5,750, but if you\u2019re a serious endurance athlete, it\u2019s worth every penny.<\/p>\n

SoulCycle<\/a> addicts, rejoice. You can now go on vacation without deserting your beloved two-wheeler. As a guest at the Sheraton in Puerto Rico, you can ask for a stationary bike delivered to your room. Then cue up a playlist and ride to the beat while overlooking San Juan\u2019s skyline. If you\u2019ve got more energy where that came from, sign up for glow-in-the-dark kayaking on Bioluminescent Bay. The water lights up with microorganisms so you get a real-life magic show. Afterward, sip on a glowing Bio Bay cocktail<\/a>, because, hey, it\u2019s all about balance.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re looking for better yoga flow and flexibility, the W\u2019s FIT with Tara Stiles program is top-notch. Guests can cue up curated in-room workout videos led by the celebrity instructor<\/a>, along with yoga tip cards that have pose suggestions for relaxation, beating jet lag and getting an energy boost. There\u2019s also Island Glo-Ga, a monthly complimentary glow-in-the-dark yoga class<\/a> that flows to upbeat tracks spun by the hotel\u2019s DJ, with body paint and fluorescent black lights to up the fun factor. And since you\u2019ll be spending plenty of time in the sun (you\u2019re in Puerto Rico, after all), guests can also strap on a sun care tech bracelet when they\u2019re lounging out by the infinity pool. It measures UV rays and monitors sun exposure, sending you alerts right when it\u2019s time to slather on more sunscreen.<\/p>\n

Anyone seeking a unique workout experience must check out this gym. The hotel itself is located in the old Tennessee Trust Bank Building, which was one of Memphis\u2019 first skyscrapers, founded back in 1905. Even cooler: The bank\u2019s vault was transformed into a custom-built gym<\/a>, complete with the original vault door and steel ceiling. Inside, you\u2019ll find everything from treadmills<\/a> to recumbent bikes to weight machines<\/a>. And if you\u2019re not in the mood to trudge downstairs, you can also book an in-room yoga session. Schedule it 48 hours in advance, and you\u2019ll score a local yoga-certified instructor ready to lead you through a private, totally personalized 30- or 60-minute flow. Not too shabby.<\/p>\n
