The Best Hotel Gyms in Asia

The Best Hotel Gyms in Asia

These top-notch hotel gyms will give you the best fitness experience while visiting Asia.


The hotel gym used to be an afterthought for travelers and hotels alike. It was often tucked away in a room the size of a closet, windowless and containing a few cardio machines and maybe a set of light dumbbells. But things are changing.

Many hotels are beginning to understand that health and fitness are important to more and more travelers these days. In an effort to court the growing number of fitness-minded travelers, hotels are building bigger and better gyms.

We've analyzed reviews, spoken with hotel operators, looked at countless photos, and visited many in person, all while taking into account factors like space, equipment, views, and convenience.

These are our picks for the ten best hotel gyms in Asia.
