Quick stay at The Renaissance Minneapolis, The Depot

Reminiscing on the power of Nobu’s scent
I distinctly remember walking through Nobu Hotel in Atlanta. That distinctive scent has stayed with me. It was in the halls; it greeted me in the lobby. It was inescapable, but it was calming and comforting. Thinking about the scent now, I think about how it made me feel. It wasn’t just used to make…

A few treatments and regrets at the spa at Equinox Hotel
The reception area is bright white. There are multiple high end skin care products on display for purchase. I had just walked into the spa at the Equinox Hotel Hudson Yards and waited to start my treatments I nosily looked at the displays to pass the time. Shortly after, I was led to the locker…

My experience at the Equinox spa getting the Gold Collagen Facial
As I planned my trip to New York, I figured, why not treat myself. I would be staying at the Equinox Hotel Hudson Yards, so I decided to book a treatment at their spa. I scrolled through the treatment on my computer, agonizing over the right decision. But my curiosity got to me. I had…

Equinox Hotel has a Science of Sleep package. Here’s how it went down.
During my stay at the Equinox Hotel Hudson Yards, I opted to try out the Science of Sleep package. Truth be told, it was one of the reasons why I was so eager to try this hotel. I had visions of myself, entering the hotel haggard from all the work and nights staying up way…
