Never miss a workout while on the road. With complimentary access for hotel guests and under the same roof as the hotel on Market Street, the Equinox Sports Club is one of the city’s best.

The junior Olympic-sized lap pool answers the question of “where?” for even the most avid swimmers looking for a place to go.

Splurge on the Bathing Ritual on the rooftop of this Embarcadero hotel. It’s not everywhere one finds an outdoor lavender-scented bathtub sprinkled with rose petals. Slip into the water with a glass of sparkling to gaze at the sky while coddled within the confines of a bamboo surround. Step out on the terrace in a plush robe for fresh air, bridge and bay views. Following a soak, what better than a massage?

TIP:  The hotel rebranded as 1 Hotel San Francisco to offer a heightened emphasis on sustainability and eco-consciousness, so watch for expanded new amenities and services.

Some properties earn the nickname “suits and suits,” and this is one such place. An indoor swimming pool for laps and a hot tub are built-in benefits for hotel guests, primarily a business-oriented crowd for the proximity to the Moscone Center that’s within a five-minute walk. There’s a selection of treatments, from Ayurvedic and Swedish massage to body wraps, scrubs, manicures, pedicures, and waxing.

TIP:  Dine at the on-site Michelin-starred restaurant, Luce, and work off the calories after at the fitness center.
