We'd rather do Pilates or another class-based workout over huffing it on a treadmill. So it's a given that at Hotel Solamar, we'll forgo the stuffy fitness center to work our core in the Poolside Pilates program. The incentive to exercise is that the alfresco class takes place on the chic fourth-floor rooftop terrace, which offers a view of the city's skyline.

The classes, which are free for hotel guests and $10 for non-guests (cheaper than most drop-in Pilates classes), take place Saturdays from 10 to 11 a.m. No need to BYOM, since mats are provided. Certified instructors from neighboring studio Hot Body Pilates will make you feel the burn and get your morning going with music that ranges from tranquil tunes to bumping beats.

Poolside Pilates has been so popular among the guests that the hotel will continue the program as long as the weather holds up. But if a Saturday-morning session isn't enough for you gym rats, you can arrange for private lessons at Hot Body Pilates through the hotel, for an additional cost, of course.

According to hotel officials, the program is the latest in the Kimpton hotel's wellness offerings. Hotel Solamar also has in-room spa treatments using organic and paraben-free products and On-Demand yoga accessible in the guest rooms, which go for $159 a night.
