Renew, a boutique hotel at the eastern end of Waikīkī in Honolulu, has completed a redesign and rebrand centered around local wellness. Formerly known as “Hotel Renew,” the 72-room property has been reimagined with updated guestrooms, corridors, lobby and lobby bar, in addition to new amenities and experiences designed to connect guests to the local wellness community.

Inspired by the natural colors of Hawai'i’s beaches and the simplicity of a modern apothecary, the updated interiors have an Earth tone palette of terra-cotta, rose quartz, ocean blues and sandy neutrals with sleek contrasts of black. To promote a calming environment, the design team used natural and refined materials, including custom-designed rattan furniture, American white oak paneling and deep lounge seating, creating a chic yet calming environment.

Upon arrival, guests are welcomed with a chilled, lemongrass-scented towel and glass of iced Mamaki tea by Tea Chest Hawai'i, a local therapeutic herbal tea with healing and detoxifying qualities.

The hotel’s new Wellness Concierge can direct guests to the Island’s best wellness-minded restaurants, activities, shopping, parks and beaches. The Wellness Concierge can arrange activities through local philanthropic partner Travel2Change that offer the opportunity to give back to the Island, including a bicycle tour and beach cleanup, a kayak and snorkel excursion to restore Kāneʻohe Bay, and reviving a historical fishpond, among other off-the-beaten-path adventures. Renew also offers a weekly series of complimentary rejuvenating activities, including astrology readings, mini aromatherapy facials and beach yoga.

Since holistic wellness includes taking care of the environment, Renew will eliminate use of single-use plastics throughout the property. A new retail shop provides eco-friendly travel products and local mementos, including reef-safe Salt & Stone sunscreen and deodorant, local Oshan Essentials skincare, Hanalei Company beauty products, Mānoa chocolates, Kaimana Ahi Tuna Jerky and Renew branded merchandise.

For guests planning to visit the beach, which is a one-minute walk from the hotel, the front desk provides chairs, umbrellas, snorkel gear and other beach essentials. In the evening at the hotel’s bar, reFresh, craft cocktails are prepared with local spirits and ingredients, including God Save The Bees, made with Old Pali Road whiskey, local Mānoa Honey, angostura bitters and orange bitters, and Coconut Water Colada, made with Kula Organic Rum, Mahina Clement Coconut Liqueur, house-made fresh sour, pineapple cubes and coconut water. Before bedtime, guests can visit the lobby’s reLax Station to create miniature bags of local lavender to enhance sleep.

Guestrooms are stocked with ecological and natural products from Korres cosmetics. Workout kits, which include resistance bands, weights, ab rollers, mini Pilates balls, Perfect Pushup rotating handles and yoga mats, are available in-room by request. Peloton Bikes also will be available soon by request. Before departure, guests receive a small jar of Mānoa Honey as a gift from housekeeping to thank them for their stay and support of local businesses.

To celebrate Renew’s redesign debut, guests can take advantage of the “Rediscover Renew” travel package, which includes 20% off the best flexible rates, $50 lobby credit (valid at the reVitalize coffee bar, reFuel grab-and-go, reFresh bar or retail shop), and two drinks from reFresh bar. The package requires a four-night minimum stay and is available to book through Aug. 31, 2019 for stay dates from Sept. 1, 2019 to June 30, 2020. Book with promotion code RENEWREFRESH or click here.

Find Peloton bikes in hotels

Peloton, the global interactive fitness platform, has introduced a new feature on the company’s website, Hotel Finder.

The online tool showcases an interactive map highlighting hundreds of hotels across the United States that have Peloton Bikes located in specific hotels’ fitness centers or select guest rooms. Website visitors can select from pinpoints on the map or search an address to find hotels with direct access to Peloton’s Bike and world class fitness content.

Hotel Finder also allows users to directly book rooms at their desired hotel destination.

For each hotel included on the Hotel Finder map, visitors can view the number of guest rooms with a Peloton Bike, and/or how many Bikes are located in the hotel’s fitness center. Additional information includes the availability of Bike Weights and pedal type to specify if hotel guests can wear regular gym shoes to ride, or if cycling shoes are required.

Existing Peloton Members can log into a partner hotel’s Bike with the same username and password associated with their profile. First time riders will also be able to experience Peloton’s immersive workouts with full access to thousands of classes via the commercial rider account available on any Peloton hotel partner Bike.

“We know that travel is stressful, and that it is increasingly difficult for travelers to maintain their wellness routines while on the road. Sticking with an exercise routine, prioritizing a good night’s sleep, and focusing on nutrition helps us feel better, be more productive and allows us to be more present during our travels,” said Brian Povinelli, Westin’s Global Brand Leader. “Our new sourcing promise and commitment to regionally-relevant menus and personal dietary needs make it easy for travelers to maintain their personal eating habits while also getting a taste of their destination, all without leaving the hotel.”

Today, Westin has more than 225 Run Concierges around the world, who host group runs and encourage runners of all levels to explore their destination. Guests can also tap into the run concierge network for TRX training in WestinWorkout fitness studios.
