Loews Atlanta Hotel launches Active Stays health and wellness program

Loews Atlanta Hotel recently launched Active Stays, a new on-site wellness program that includes both digital and on-demand classes developed with fitness expert Makena Rae Diehl . The Midtown hotel also offers expanded treatment and recovery options at its newly renovated spa, Exhale. “Guests today want wellness to be integrated into their travel experience, rather than something they have to put on pause while they’re away from home,” said Reggie Dominique, managing director of Loews Atlanta Hotel. Expanded wellness classes and treatments The hotel fitness experience now includes a library of short, approachable workouts led by Diehl, a New York City-based certified personal trainer and group fitness instructor. The no-equipment classes range from high-intensity bodyweight strength training to stretch and recovery sessions designed for working out in a hotel room. In addition to yoga and barre classes at Exhale, the spa offers pilates reformer classes and small group strength training and conditioning sessions in partnership with Salt Fitness .

Recovery-focused experiences For post-workout recovery, hotel guests can opt for red light therapy , cold plunges and infrared saunas, along with a dedicated lounge with compression boots and massage guns. “Recovery has become one of the fastest-growing areas within the wellness space, particularly among travelers who are balancing fitness routines and the physical demands of frequent travel,” Dominique said. That balance extends to the hotel’s food options, too. Ashland , located in the lobby of Loews Atlanta, features a salad bar and serves sushi and several vegan dishes. The menu at Market Eleven coffee shop includes made-to-order smoothies and salads. But Dominique said the hotel’s location in the heart of Midtown and its proximity to walkable attractions and Piedmont Park has become one of the biggest draws for guests. “From nearby green spaces and walkable neighborhoods to a vibrant dining, arts, and cultural scene, there are so many ways for people to incorporate movement and exploration into their stay,” he said.
