NEW YORK, March 31, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- The wellness
trend extends beyond a person's daily routine at home, and the
boutique hotel originator, Morgans Hotel Group, has taken note with
the launch of exciting new programs across their portfolio. Taking
creativity to a new level, Morgans Hotel Group introduces a mindful
coloring book for adults featuring each of its hotels' iconic
design elements, and has curated partnerships with wellness leaders
in its local markets (Miami,
New York, Las Vegas, Los
Angeles, San Francisco,
London and Istanbul). Morgans Hotel Group is also
announcing a partnership with Mindfulness Everywhere and their
innovative buddhify app, featuring travel meditations created
exclusively for Morgans' guests.
Spring is here; and at Morgans, it's a time for renewal. True to
the company's legacy of innovation and forward-thinking creativity,
Morgans Hotel Group's wellness programs aim to reduce guests' daily
stress and renew the spirit through physical experiences and
mindful exercises. Coloring has made a comeback, and Morgans Hotel
Group is staying on top of the trend by partnering with Illustrator
Peter Arkle to create a limited-edition mindful coloring book for
adults—a nod to the anti-stress movement that's making big waves.
The book features iconic elements from Morgans' properties, like
the stained glass wall at Sanderson and the pool at Delano South Beach.
The book will launch across the brand in April (while supplies
last)
Morgans Hotel Group has also partnered with Mindfulness
Everywhere to offer guests who book rooms in special suite
categories and above a complimentary download of its extremely
popular buddhify app (while supplies last). The app provides access
to all of buddhify's meditations (over 80) for various moods, and
provides guidance while monitoring users' progress. Additionally,
all Morgans Hotel Group guests at participating hotels will receive
in-room Mindfulness Cards with meditations and relaxation tips for
travelers, created exclusively for Morgans Hotel Group by buddhify
Founder Rohan Gunatillake - as well
as a link to access complimentary mp3 meditation guides. The
buddhify tracks and app download will be available at all Morgans
Hotel Group properties, with the exception of Delano Las Vegas.
"Today's travelers are looking beyond fitness to include all
aspects of one's well-being," commented Morgans Hotel Group Chief
Operating Officer Chadi Farhat.
"Morgans' new wellness programming gives us an opportunity to tell
a new story and attract a new generation of guests."
In addition to brand-wide initiatives, a series of
property-specific guest experiences are being launched to provide a
local approach to fit-friendly lifestyles.
