New York gets EVEN: IHG to open wellness-focused flagship hotel in Manhattan

The first well-being and health-focused hotel from the InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) is set to open in New York at the end of 2014, as announced by the group December 20.

EVEN Hotels will put emphasize four spheres: exercise, food, work and rest. To address the needs of the clients, the 8000 square meter space will feature guest rooms with in-room workout elements such as coat racks that double as pull-up bars and menus offering healthy nutritional options.

"New York City is an ideal location, being one of the most health-minded cities in the US -- so it will provide the EVEN Hotels brand with the right exposure to its target guest, the healthier-minded traveler," IHG President for the Americas Kirk Kinsell declared.

100 EVEn Hotels are set to debut in the next five years in the US, mainly located in New York, San Francisco and Washington.
