The Hotel at Kirkwood Center now offers a unique amenity for health-conscious guests. Two bicycles are available for checkout at the front desk. Guests can get their exercise and enjoy the beautiful weather as they tour Kirkwood's campus and local area on two wheels.

"There's no more of an authentic way to explore a community than by bike," said Lee Belfield, general manager of The Hotel at Kirkwood Center. Hotel guests will be offered maps of campus and area bike trails, and can choose their destination.

The bicycles feature The Hotel's signature colors, red and black, and come equipped with all the bells and whistles. In addition to the bikes, The Hotel at Kirkwood Center also offers a free on-site fitness facility as well as access to the Kirkwood Community College Michael J Gould Recreation Center.

For those wanting to watch their waistline, The Class Act, the full-service gourmet and Blue Zones restaurant located within The Hotel, offers a variety of healthful options, including locally grown produce, menu offerings on the "lighter side," as well as wheat and gluten-free options.
