Loews Philadelphia Hotel Reimagines Business Travel Wellness with 'Active Stays'

The initiative turns the historic Market Street property into a welcoming home base that meets modern travelers' needs. Whether a guest has ten minutes between corporate meetings or an entire free morning, the program encourages movement without the pressure of rigid performance goals.

Bringing the Workout to the Room

A major pillar of the Loews Philadelphia wellness overhaul is recognizing that the best workout is the one that actually fits into a busy schedule. For many traveling for business in Philadelphia, visiting a fitness center isn't feasible.

To bridge this gap, Active Stays introduces a robust in-room fitness experience. In collaboration with fitness expert Makena Rae, the hotel has launched a curated digital library of equipment-free exercises available directly on guest room TVs. These Makena Rae workouts range from targeted mobility sessions designed to reset the body after a long flight, to short bodyweight strength routines and calming recovery sessions. The series' on-demand format lets travelers prioritize their physical health on their own terms.

Move Well, Recover Well

True wellness extends far beyond breaking a sweat. As part of the new hotel fitness programs, Loews Philadelphia is emphasizing recovery and proper nutrition.

The hotel's culinary team has refreshed its food and beverage offerings to focus on hydration and protein-forward options. Busy professionals can take advantage of convenient grab-and-go snacks to stay energized between presentations, while in-room dining menus and the on-site restaurant feature seasonal items designed to help guests refuel efficiently.

As the hospitality industry evolves, today's travelers are making it clear that they want holistic, accessible ways to feel their best away from home. By removing the traditional barriers to exercise and focusing on balanced recovery, Loews Philadelphia Hotel is setting a new standard for exactly what an active stay should look like.

*By prioritizing accessible, personalized wellness, the property ensures that busy professionals can maintain their health routines effortlessly—applying the exact same level of comprehensive care seen when the Philadelphia hotel launches Active Stays for the 2026 Philadelphia Marathon.
