Running is Shangri-La
Guests can hit their stride at Shangri-La Hotel, Toronto this spring. The hotel is pleased to introduce a new package “Running is Shangri-La” that provides guests with scenic running routes catered to suit the needs of a beginner, intermediate or advanced runner. Additional wellness options include practicing yoga in the privacy of their guest suite with a lululemon guided video as a pre or post run stretch, a robust healthy menu, unlimited access to the hotel’s state of the art Health Club facilities including the acclaimed pool and fitness classes and a signature Hammam and Gommage treatment for two at the Miraj Hammam Spa by Caudalie.
For dedicated runners, a daily run is a cherished ritual that revs the body and feeds the mind. Getting in a great run can help business travelers be at their best and get the deal done and leisure travelers can enjoy their favorite activities while on holiday. Guests of the hotel need not miss out on their healthy routine. Runners can enjoy their daily kilometers while exploring some of Toronto’s most interesting sights such as:
- The historic St. Lawrence market, the financial district with impressive views of the CN Tower totaling 3 kilometers;
- University Avenue highlighting Queen’s Park, Ontario’s Provincial Legislature and the University of Toronto campus totaling 4 kilometers;
- Trinity Bellwoods Park and Queen Street West area which was named by VOGUE magazine in September 2014 as one of the world’s coolest neighborhoods totaling 5 kilometers;
- The city’s dynamic waterfront with an uninterrupted run for as far as 20 kilometers along Lake Ontario.
All of the recommended running routes have been personally tested and amended by Ben Kaplan, editor-in-chief of iRun magazine, author of Feet, Don’t Fail Me Now, and running columnist for the National Post. Guests can access the maps on their phones by scanning the QR codes for the specific map of their choice located in all guestroom suites.
Complementing the running program, Shangri-La Hotel, Toronto has created an original yoga video in partnership with lululemon and lululemon yoga ambassador Amber Joliat that is available on all Shangri-La Hotel, Toronto’s 202 guestroom TV’s and iPads.
