For many of us at Southern Living, hotel rooms are home away from home, where we rest after long days of researching stories.

One of the nice things about that is when you're getting ready to head to a new city, you can ask a colleague for a recommendation. 

(Sad to say, but we know a little too much about complimentary breakfast buffets and which ones have the good stuff.)

So I was glad to read the May issue of Health, which features a story called "America's Healthiest Hotels." Health's experts ranked the ten healthiest hotels in the U.S, with high marks for those with perks like ones that stock minibars with organic food and drinks (Kimpton) and those with on-demand fitness videos in guest rooms (Hyatt Regency).

Several of these chains have locations in the South  (like the Hyatt Regency in Atlanta and the Kimpton in Dallas). The magazine's list of "Healthiest Hotels" were chosen because they offer plenty of options for travelers - vacation and business alike. Sushi making for kids at Loews? Green tea infused salmon at Westin? Attention all hotels: we like these things.

In the meantime, I'm just working at making time to hit the treadmill instead of crashing in front of the TV next time I hit the road. Grabbing yogurt and fruit instead of the bagel and bacon. And if there are in-room pilates videos to get me moving, I might just put down my laptop and burn a few calories.

Let us know: what are some of your favorite healthy hotels -- perhaps one with a great gym, non-allergenic bedding, or low-fat room service options?
