The JW Marriott Parq Vancouver Embraces the Rise of Urban Wellness Travel

For years, wellness travel meant going somewhere far away. A desert spa. A jungle retreat. A mountain lodge far from everyday life. Places where the whole point was to disappear for a while.

That version of wellness still exists and has its place. But a new kind of wellness trip is taking shape. One that doesn’t require travelers to leave the world behind in order to feel better in it. Some of the most restorative travel now is happening inside cities.
