Comments
Really nice hotel with high quality service but the gym is just squeezed in with way too little space and equipment. When I was there, we were 8 people trying to work out, but we had to stand in line. The equipment is old and there are no mirrors either.
 
Based on the hotel gym, would you stay at this hotel next time you’re in the area?
Not sure.

Double Tree

Hotel: Double Tree
Address: No.89 Fengyutan Street, Shenhe, 110011 Shenyang, Liaoning, China
 
Time of visit: October 2019
 
Equipment
There’s a fair selection of cross trainers, treadmills and stationary bikes.
The hotel gym is also quite well equipped with machines – highlights being the barbell bench press which is lacking in most hotel gyms. Besides this, there’s also a cable machine and a Smith machine.
Dumbbells range from 2kg to 22kg.

Comments
Unlike many other hotel gyms which can be somewhat claustrophobic, this hotel gym is quite spacious due to the layout being a long “room” which seems to go on forever.
The hotel gym is open 24/7.

Aloft

Hotel: Aloft
Address: No.66 Li De Street, Xiao Gu Wei Street , University Park, Panyu District, 510006 Guangzhou, Guangdong, China
 
Time of visit: October 2019
 
Equipment
Besides a pair of bikes and treadmills, the cardio fanatics have to make do with a cross trainer.
If you’re looking for a weight-based workout, there’s a multi-gym in the corner. Although it’d allow you to do some basic exercises (since the number of available handles are somewhat limited), the range of motion seems off. As a result, you’re more or less left with dumbbells going up until 22kg.

Comments
(Some of) the cardio equipment is wobbly/worn out and the same goes for the multi-gym in the corner. As a result, you’re left with a limited number of dumbbells… Ideally, the hotel should install a squat rack, a bench press rack and a cable machine. There’s space enough and it would surely improve the overall impression of this hotel gym!
 
Based on the hotel gym, would you stay at this hotel next time you’re in the area?
No – I’d probably search for other alternatives.
The hotel gym simply isn’t well enough equipped.
