The perfect vacation not only delivers R & R but inspires you to live healthier when youre back at home. Our experts started with a list of the countrys 100 major hotel brands, from the American Hotel and Lodging Association. We culled the group to 20 semi-finalists that offer the best overall healthy practices, with the help of Jim Kaese, co-founder of Athletic Minded Traveler.<\/p>\n
Then we analyzed each contender, using a range of criteria developed with our expert panel (below) including fitness offerings, healthy dining and in-room menus, comfortable beds, attention to air quality, and innovative programs for relaxation and renewal. Each judge rated each hotel chain on a scale of 1 to 10 in his or her own areas of expertise, and these scores were averaged to yield the final scores, and rankings.<\/p>\n
