INNSiDE by Meliá, part of Meliá Hotels International, has launched a new wellness initiative to encourage female solo travellers visiting INNSIDE cities to explore the local area by foot, all while meeting like-minded people.
Taking place across two INNSiDE UK hotels in Newcastle and Liverpool, the first in a series of wellbeing walks will take place, in synchronisation, on Sunday 18th May – a free, social, guided walk around the INNSiDE city, starting and ending at the hotel.
Following the walk, participants can enjoy complimentary refreshments, including tea, coffee and pastries or a sweet treat – a moment for walking club members and hotel guests to wind down and socialise.
At INNSiDE UK, each stay is enriched with music, art, lifestyle and wellness curated by the hotel’s local experts. The new walking initiative is in partnership with local walking communities Girls Who Walk Newcastle and Bond & Bloom Liverpool.
Girls Who Walk Newcastle is a free, casual community based in the heart of Newcastle, for women to meet like minded people and make connections through walking and talking. Similarly, Bond & Bloom Liverpool is a safe space for women in Liverpool to come together for walks and events – a community built on connection and growth in hopes of combating loneliness in the city.
Walking with a group provides numerous benefits beyond just physical exercise. It fosters social connections, boosts motivation, and promotes a sense of community and shared goals. Walking groups also offer advantages like increased accountability, opportunities to meet new people, and a chance to explore new places while engaging in a healthy activity. The new initiative is in keeping with INNSiDE by Melia’s philosophy ‘Stay Curious’, which promises to accommodate guests’ every need with considered comforts and locally inspired experiences.
The walking events in Newcastle and Liverpool will begin at 11am on Sunday 18th May. On the day, guests should meet at the INNSiDE Liverpool foyer and INNSiDE Newcastle Gino D’Acampo Terrace at the rear of the hotel.
