History & Story
IT’S NOT FITNESS, IT’S LIFE. Has grounded Equinox—and fueled a cultural movement—for more than 25 years, and now we’re introducing Equinox Hotels as a true culmination of our brand promise that will redefine travel as the world knows it. We have relentlessly and continuously pursued only the unimaginable and next in defining what true experience really means, while bringing luxury to a place where none existed. And we’re redefining luxury once again with our first ever Equinox Hotel. We have created a unique lifestyle and now we have an address that truly realizes that lifestyle – in a place that finally matches the scale of our ambitions and the ambition of the very people we built it for … those who want it all. That place is Equinox Hotel, Hudson Yards – in the center of the new cultural crucible of New York City. Created by internationally renowned hotelier and CEO, Mr. Christopher Norton, this is the complete manifestation of high-performance living. This is a destination where how you move, eat, sleep and live is entirely re-imagined.
