Lowell Hotel Introduces New Organic Health Menu
NEW YORK, NY, September 15, 2008. Responding to its discerning clientele's concerns about the importance of a healthy lifestyle, the legendary Lowell Hotel New York - famed for its residential-style ambience and sophisticated d'ecor, personalized guest service and pampering amenities - has unveiled a host of innovative healthful living options for its sophisticated travelers. From an in-room yoga program and Pilates instruction in the hotel's fitness center to a new organic Health Menu available around the clock, guests of this Upper East Side Manhattan luxury landmark have a full complement of unique healthy lifestyle choices at their disposal to maintain their daily wellness routine when traveling.
New Organic Health Menu
Lowell Hotel Chef de Cuisine Michael Fred's organic Health Menu is his most recent culinary innovation. With nutrition and energy-packed options for pre- and post-workout meals, it emphasizes low-calorie, low-fat and low-carbohydrate items, as well as rich and flavorful foods with fresh, high-quality ingredients. Available 24-hours a day through the Lowell's In-Room Dining menu, signature Pembroke Room and even in the fitness center, guests can easily "stay on track" even when away from home. Offering a selection of freshly prepared juices, including vitamin and herbal blends and fresh fruit smoothies that energize, the most popular is Chef's Fresh Apple and Celery Juice with Flaxseed Oil and Aloe Vera, boosting both the body and the complexion. To recharge after a workout, Chef and his team offer light, nutritious and wholesome choices as well, including Grilled Red Snapper on Summer Salad with Avocado, Grapefruit Filets and Citrus Vinaigrette and Whole Wheat Wrap with Chick Peas, Hummus and Alfalfa Sprouts and Lemon with Skinless Organic Chicken.
Fitness Options For Every Style
Such healthful meal choices are ideal before a work-out in The Lowell's fully equipped Fitness Center, featuring a wide range of Cybex equipment, a Pilates machine, free weights, flat screen televisions, towels, chilled water, fresh fruit and a selection of healthful snacks. And, with personal trainers and Pilates instructors available on request - as well as complimentary easy-to-read jogging maps of Central Park - it's a snap for guests to maintain their exercise regiments and healthy eating habits on the road. If keeping fit is a more private matter, guests can request a yoga mat and choose from a selection of yoga and mat Pilates DVDs to use in the privacy of one's guestroom. Personal yoga or pilates instruction can also be arranged through the hotel's concierge.
