1. Seek out special wellness perks.
Some hotels offer free yoga classes and workout studios and will rent exercise gear in case you forgot anything at home.
2. Ask for a jogging map.
Many concierges can suggest routes for runners that include great views and sightseeing.
3. Research local dining options for salads and smoothies.
Also check the room-service menu online ahead of time to see if it offers healthy options in a pinch.
4. Ensure the hotel room is spotless.
Don’t be afraid to ask if all the bedding has been changed or to request hypoallergenic pillows. See if the hotel has duvets (rather than comforters) since their covers are easier to clean. The Chamberlain in West Hollywood has premium duvets and bedding in each room.
5. Ask for a room with a standing shower.
Bathtubs and Jacuzzis are notoriously difficult to clean.
6. Request a room that is smoke-free and restricts pets.
Avoid dander and lingering allergens. Pet-friendly rooms often have strong chemical odors.
7. Wear socks around the hotel room to protect against germs.
Never go barefoot.
8. Use antibacterial wipes
on in-room phones, remotes, light switches, faucets, and alarm clocks.
9. Use the individually wrapped paper or plastic cups
in the room instead of glassware, which might be cleaned only with a rag and can of antibacterial spray.
10. Ask for room upgrades to preferred-guest floors.
These receive the most vigilant housekeeping and are the least noisy. They’re often far from hotel bars and have the best views.
