Kimpton?s Hotel Palomar San Francisco, a boutique downtown San Francisco hotel, is helping guests maintain their healthy lifestyles with its ?People In Motion? program, a daily and ongoing initiative that celebrates the health and wellness priorities of guests with morning guided runs and bicycles available for loan.
Available every morning at 7 am, hotel guests are invited to join a member of the hotel team on daily guided jogs throughout San Francisco. Runs are usually between two and three miles and all running levels are welcome.
In addition to the running program, guests who are seeking an active exploration for seeing the sites can also borrow one of the hotel?s 12 Dutch bicycles and enjoy a ride around the city. The bicycles are free of charge during the daylight hours, and are given out on a first-come, first-serve basis.
?We understand the difficulties of staying fit and maintaining a healthy lifestyle while traveling, but we also know how important it is to so many of our guests,? said Christopher Smith, general manager, Hotel Palomar San Francisco. ?Our ?People In Motion? program was designed to make it easy for guests to bring their healthy habits on the road with them ? to start the day off with a quick run, while also seeing the sites, or gaining a good workout while exploring the city on bike.
?We?ve heard from our guests that they enjoy the opportunity to run with other guests and swap stories of the sites they?ve seen, as well as getting the inside scoop on some of the must-see or do places along the running route.?
