The rise of the fit-cation: ATHX Games and adidas open their first Hybrid Hotel
The pop-up hotel will give athletes access to a dedicated gym, recovery facilities and performance-focused meals during the World Finals.
ATHX Games will launch the first-ever ATHX Hybrid Hotel in Lisbon, opening from November 26-30 at Locke, Santa Joana for competitors attending the 2026 ATHX World Finals.
Research commissioned by ATHX found 23 per cent of people choose fitness events first when planning holidays, responding to growing demand for travel experiences centered around health and fitness.
Competitors will access a dedicated gym created with BLK BOX, recovery facilities featuring Hyperice technology, and nutrition options including CELSIUS energy drinks to support training and recovery.
Traditional Portuguese tiles inspire a bespoke ATHX installation welcoming Guests, while a Polaroid wall captures memories; the social room hosts event screenings, athlete meet-ups, and expert talks.
Co-Founder Mark Hartnett-Morgan said the hotel creates "an experience that goes beyond the competition itself," allowing ATHX to foster relationships and shared memories throughout the World Finals in Lisbon.
