ATLANTA, Aug. 25, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- InterContinental
Hotels Group (IHG), one of the world's leading hotel
companies, today announces the opening of the EVEN®
Hotels brand's fourth hotel and second New York City location, the 202-room flagship
EVEN Hotels Brooklyn. Located at 46 Nevins Street in Downtown Brooklyn, the hotel is also adjacent
to IHG's Holiday Inn® Brooklyn Downtown which opened in
April. EVEN Hotels is IHG's newest lifestyle hotel brand, and was
created with wellness at its core. The brand is designed to help
travelers Eat Well, Rest Easy, Keep Active and Accomplish
More, making it ideal to better serve wellness-minded travelers
in the New York City area.
Jason Moskal, Vice President,
Lifestyle Brands, The Americas, IHG said: "We're thrilled to
bring the newest EVEN Hotels property to New York City's dynamic borough of
Brooklyn. The huge success behind
the opening of our first NYC hotel in November 2015 demonstrated the high-demand for
wellness focused travel experiences; and as the only holistic
wellness brand in the hotel industry, we are continually dedicated
to helping guests find their balance wherever the wellness-minded
traveler both lives and travels to."
As New York City's most
populous borough, Brooklyn is
leading the country in the construction of new apartments in 2016
and has seen huge economic growth, making the need for places to
stay, whether for business or pleasure, more important than ever
before. With the opening of EVEN Hotels, visitors to Brooklyn can now look to maintain their
wellness routines when they stay at the hotel, while also being in
close proximity to culturally local experiences that Downtown Brooklyn is known for. The hotel is
located within walking distance to many places including Forte
Green Park where guests can visit the Saturday GreenMarket held
year round; catch an innovative performance at BAM (Brooklyn
Academy of Music); or even try their hand at indoor rock climbing
at Brooklyn Boulders.
As soon as guests arrive at EVEN Hotels Brooklyn, natural
elements of wood and living plants create a welcoming and
revitalizing space. The hotel offers different design and
technology elements to help guests maintain the balance they
desire. Guests can also expect a personalized service culture where
team members champion wellness and inspire guests to stay on track
while on the road.
Eat Well – The Cork & Kale Market and Bar offers a
menu of freshly prepared food items such as a yogurt bowl with
house made granola, a customizable signature black kale
salad, flatbreads, all-natural burger and indulgent
desserts. Guests can also enjoy organic and natural libations,
freshly-squeezed orange juice from a Citrocasa machine and free
filtered water available throughout the hotel. The hotel has also
partnered with purveyors like the Brooklyn Brewery to serve local
goods in the restaurant.
Keep Active – For guests desiring a great workout, the
property features a natural light filled two-level Athletic Studio
which also includes a two-story living green wall. Spin and yoga
classes are offered in addition to group runs to the Brooklyn
Bridge Park led by the property's Chief Wellness Officer. The 2.2
mile loop can easily be modified to a 5k or 10k course for runners
or walkers looking to increase their distance. For those who prefer
to work out on their own, guestrooms feature an In-Room Training
Zone which includes a foam roller, yoga mat, yoga block, core
exercise ball and the EVEN Hotels Trainer, a mounted fitness wall
which includes resistance bands. The brand also developed 17
fitness videos, with an additional two created exclusively for the
Brooklyn property by celebrity
trainer David Kirsch, and a robust
in-room training guide which shows guests different ways to use the
equipment.
Rest Easy – Restful environments are essential to
maintaining balance, and a calming, open design throughout EVEN
Hotels sets a relaxing tone within the property. Guestrooms offer a
modern yet comfortable environment and feature eucalyptus fiber
linens that offer a cooler sleep; fully glass-enclosed rainfall
showers; naturally derived bath products exclusively available from
EO and color LED mood lighting.
Accomplish More – Ergonomically designed movable work
spaces at the property are configured to integrate with guests'
preferences, ensuring they can complete work comfortably and
efficiently. Guestrooms feature both moveable desks and 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.
Beyond the physical property, EVEN Hotels supports the needs of
travelers through wellwellwell.com, a wellness travel site designed
to provide useful content such as articles and tips on how to
exercise, eat, rest and find the best local places while traveling
to cities across the country. Written by a dedicated editorial team
of health and wellness leaders, lifestyle experts and seasoned
travelers, wellwellwell.com is a go-to source for healthier,
happier travel.
