The Equinox Hotel in New York City is being built on Manhattan’s Hudson Yards on the upper west side. It will be among the first of many new hotels built and opened by Equinox, which until recently focused solely on gyms and fitness centers.
With its venture into the hospitality industry, Equinox will soon open the first-of-its-kind hotel that will revolve around fitness and wellness.
