Luxury hotel operator Mandarin Oriental and nonprofit medical practice and research group Mayo Clinic have expanded their wellness partnership and launched a new healthy living scheme in Washington DC, US.

Called Mayo Clinic Healthy Living at MO, the initiative at the Mandarin Oriental Washington will feature three distinctive wellness events, focused on helping guests achieve a healthy lifestyle.

Each of the three full-day events will focus on a key area of healthy living and will be led by a Mayo Clinic physician – along with a multidisciplinary team of specialists who will guide and support each guest.

The events will consist of physician-led lecture sessions, small group activities, and a personalised wellness plan. Healthy cuisine will be provided by Mandarin Oriental’s executive chef Adam Tanner, whose breakfast, lunch and dinner menus will complement the programme.

Mayo Clinic Healthy Living at MO is the first collaboration of its kind in the US and follows from a partnership between Mandarin and Mayo launched in Bodrum, Turkey in 2016.

The Mayo Clinic Healthy Living Programme at Mandarin Oriental Bodrum focuses on preventative wellness and is designed to inspire a more balanced lifestyle, offering guests a choice of tailor-made experiences as well as a la carte services.
