On Your Bike

It’s back on the bike for many travellers in more ways than one and Peloton Commercial are making this easier than ever with its debut in Australia. More than 30 properties across more than 20 boutique and premium brands around the country, including the five-star Sofitel Sydney Darling Harbour, have incorporated this interactive fitness platform into their offerings. The experience enabled hotel guests to access thousands of live and on-demand classes, choosing from more than 10 fitness disciplines, and taught by a roster of more than 50 elite global Peloton instructors.

Digital Nomads

The phrase digital nomad has been floating around for a while now, but what’s new is the arrival of the world’s first stay, work and play ecosystem in Australia with the introduction of Selina properties in Melbourne. Sure, it sounds a little like a young, hip cousin coming to stay which is ideal, as Selina is targeted at Millennial and Gen Z travellers who have embraced the modern-day work/life balance with gusto. The two new properties – in the CBD and at St Kilda – feature budget friendly accommodation as well as co-working and recreational spaces, including in-house cinemas.
