Hotel Gyms with the Best Views

Rooms with a View: Hotel Gyms with the Best Views

I don’t know about you, but anything that will provide some distraction during a really tough workout at the gym works for me. That’s why we love these hotel fitness centers—amidst the ellipticals, treadmills, Life Fitness and Technogym equipment, etc., they also offer a little something extra: absolutely sublime vistas. And let’s be honest—it’s a whole lot easier to exercise when there’s a spectacular view to take the mind off of all those lunges and weight lift reps!

Here are just a few of our favorite picks for hotel gyms with the best views—tell us yours in the comments!
