Away from Home
Dubai, United Arab Emirates, 9 July 2014: Hot on the heels of announcing the opening
its inaugural EVEN™
Hotels property
in Norwalk, Conn., InterContinental Hotels Group
(IHG) today announces that
its second property,
located in Rockville, Maryland at 1775 Rockville Pike, is officially open. EVEN
Hotels is IHG’s newest lifestyle hotel brand, created with wellness at its core
and designed to help travelers Eat Well, Rest Easy, Keep Active and Accomplish
More.
“Two years ago, IHG introduced the EVEN Hotels brand,
pinpointing a unique opportunity to offer an entire hotel experience focused on
wellness in order to meet the changing needs of our guests,” said Kirk Kinsell,
president, the Americas, IHG. “Following the opening of the first property in
Norwalk, Conn., we are pleased to announce the opening of the second EVEN Hotel,
located in the fittest metro area in the United States.[1]”
The new EVEN Hotel Rockville, located at the center of the
Capital’s federal and advanced technology marketplace, will better serve
wellness-minded travelers in the Washington D.C. area. The EVEN Hotel Rockville
was constructed with the health and wellness needs of guests in mind – the 167
guestroom seven story building incorporates calming design elements to help
guests maintain the balance they desire through natural light and large open
spaces throughout the hotel.
Natural touches carry through every aspect of the guest
experience, providing a restful, natural and productive experience.
The brand was created to help guests make choices they
feel good about in the areas of food, fitness, rest and work – from varied
organic, vegetarian and low-fat food choices to natural EO bath amenities to
the reusable water bottle each guest receives in his or her room.
Eat Well – The Cork & Kale Market and Bar offers a menu of freshly prepared items
such as the EVEN Power Yogurt featuring super foods like goji berries and Qia
chia protein and Signature Black Kale Salad
that guests can modify based on their preference and dietary needs, as well
as hand-crafted cocktails made with organic and natural ingredients.
Keep Active – For guests desiring a great workout,
the property features a natural light filled 1,400 square foot Athletic Studio adjacent
to the lobby, spin and yoga classes in the connecting Flex Room and morning community
runs led by the property’s Chief Wellness Officer.
Rest Easy – Restful environments are essential to
maintaining balance, and a calming, open design in 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, naturally
derived bath products 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. Free Wi-Fi is also
available and easily accessible multi-media ports are provided both in the
guestrooms and throughout common spaces.
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 travelling to cities across the country. Written
