These new properties further demonstrate how the EVEN Hotels brand provides an innovative guest experience that wellness-minded business travelers are looking for.

As soon as guests arrive at an EVEN Hotel property, natural elements of wood and living plants create a welcoming and revitalizing space. The hotels offer different design and technology elements to help guests maintain the balance they desire while traveling. Guests can also expect a personalized service culture where team members champion wellness and empower guests to maintain their personal wellness while on the road.

The EVEN Hotels experience is built on four key pillars:

Eat Well – Cork & Kale is a café featuring healthy to indulgent made-to-order options for breakfast and dinner. It has been carefully designed to provide guests with a balance of health-conscious and indulgent items while on the go, whether fueling up for a long day of meetings, powering a workout or relaxing with a fresh, signature cocktail. The Cork & Kale menu emphasizes variety, dine-in meals and quicker options like breakfast sandwiches and fresh salads from the Grab-and-Go marketplace, available 24/7 for guests’ convenience.

Keep Active – Every EVEN Hotels property features the Athletic Studio, a gym three times the size of a standard hotel gym, with bright, natural light, and featuring best-in-class fitness equipment – TRX bands, free weights, customized Woodway treadmills, spin bikes and water rowers. Additionally, every EVEN Hotels guest room features an in-room fitness zone with a dedicated workout space with in-room equipment and 18 different workout videos, ranging from 10 to 30 minutes in length. Properties offer running maps at the front desk for guests who want to explore the area on their own.

Rest Easy – Restful environments are essential to maintaining balance, and a calming, open design throughout EVEN Hotels sets a relaxing tone within the property. Guest rooms offer a signature sleep experience designed with eucalyptus, natural fiber and high-thread count linens which provide a cooling effect to support a better night’s rest. Each room features color LED mood lighting so guests can select the options to create a relaxing and calming environment. In addition, EVEN Hotels offers a nighttime tea service to help travelers calm the mind after a busy day.

Accomplish More – Ergonomically designed work spaces at the property are configured to integrate with guests’ preferences, ensuring they can complete work comfortably and efficiently. Guestrooms feature stand-up desk options. Places to sit back, relax and catch up on the day include the hotel’s outdoor garden. Best described as an urban chic oasis, the garden features exposed brick walls, ample comfortable seating, an abundance of greenery, great lighting in the evening and great sun exposure during the day, giving guests space to relax and rejuvenate whenever they like. Free Wi-Fi is also available throughout the hotel.

EVEN Hotels is expanding with eight hotels now open in New York City, Rockville, Md.; Norwalk, Conn.; Omaha, Neb.; Eugene, Ore. and Sarasota, Fla.; and several hotels in the pipeline including a dual-branded property Seattle, as well as Miami and Pittsburgh.
