Triathlon is a demanding sport that combines swimming, cycling and running. To prepare for a competition or simply improve your training, it is important to choose a hotel that fulfils the needs of a triathlete. Here are the best triathlon hotels that offer you both comfort and outstanding training facilities. The tips are based on feedback from my colleagues who take part in triathlons themselves. You can find detailed information on all hotel facilities in the BLUE App<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What characteristics must a hotel fulfil to be suitable as a triathlon training hotel?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A triathlon training hotel should fulfil some specific characteristics to meet the requirements of triathletes. Here are some important features that such a hotel should have:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Location:<\/strong> An ideal triathlon hotel should be close to bodies of water with good swimming quality, roads with little traffic and running routes, preferably with a difference in altitude. This enables athletes to complete their training right on their doorstep and save time.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Swimming pool:<\/strong> A hotel with a well-equipped swimming pool is very important for triathletes. The pool should be large enough, at least 25 metres long, preferably 50 metres, to swim laps, and also have high-quality water and training equipment. Ideally, the lanes should be separated and there should also be an option to train in an indoor pool in bad weather or low temperatures.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Bike friendliness:<\/strong> Triathletes spend a lot of time on their bikes, so it’s important that the hotel offers them access to safe bike routes and possibly bike hire or storage. A triathlon hotel should offer bike friendliness by providing either bike hire, secure bike storage or even bike repair shops.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Running courses:<\/strong> In addition to swimming and cycling, running is an important part of the triathlon. A triathlon hotel should therefore have well-marked and varied running routes that allow athletes to complete their running training.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Training facilities:<\/strong> A triathlon hotel should have a well-equipped fitness or sports facility that gives athletes the opportunity to do strength training or other specialised sessions in addition to swimming, cycling and running.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Nutrition:<\/strong> Proper nutrition plays a crucial role in triathlon training. A triathlon hotel should offer healthy and balanced, athlete-centred food that meets the specific needs of triathletes. This can include the availability of fresh and healthy food, special sports nutrition products and even nutritional counselling.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
      \n
    1. Relaxation options:<\/strong> After intensive training sessions, it is important to recover and relax sufficiently. A triathlon hotel should therefore offer various relaxation options such as wellness areas, spas, massages or saunas to help athletes recover.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Qualified staff as contact persons:<\/strong> In a good triathlon hotel, qualified staff are on hand to assist with all questions and concerns relating to your triathlon training. They can advise you on planning your training sessions, using the sports facilities and choosing suitable running or cycling routes. They can also provide you with knowledge about the right triathlon nutrition and offer<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
