Spring is here; and at Morgans, it's a time for renewal. True to the company's legacy of innovation and forward-thinking creativity, Morgans Hotel Group's wellness programs aim to reduce guests' daily stress and renew the spirit through physical experiences and mindful exercises. Coloring has made a comeback, and Morgans Hotel Group is staying on top of the trend by partnering with Illustrator Peter Arkle to create a limited-edition mindful coloring book for adults--a nod to the anti-stress movement that's making big waves. The book features iconic elements from Morgans' properties, like the stained glass wall at Sanderson and the pool at Delano South Beach. The book will launch across the brand in April (while supplies last)

Morgans Hotel Group has also partnered with Mindfulness Everywhere to offer guests who book rooms in special suite categories and above a complimentary download of its extremely popular buddhify app (while supplies last). The app provides access to all of buddhify's meditations (over 80) for various moods, and provides guidance while monitoring users' progress. Additionally, all Morgans Hotel Group guests at participating hotels will receive in-room Mindfulness Cards with meditations and relaxation tips for travelers, created exclusively for Morgans Hotel Group by buddhify Founder Rohan Gunatillake - as well as a link to access complimentary mp3 meditation guides. The buddhify tracks and app download will be available at all Morgans Hotel Group properties, with the exception of Delano Las Vegas.

"Today's travelers are looking beyond fitness to include all aspects of one's well-being," commented Morgans Hotel Group Chief Operating Officer Chadi Farhat. "Morgans' new wellness programming gives us an opportunity to tell a new story and attract a new generation of guests."

In addition to brand-wide initiatives, a series of property-specific guest experiences are being launched to provide a local approach to fit-friendly lifestyles.
