Crosley Puts a Vintage Spin on Modern Technology
Crosley is a blast from the past, lending an old-time look to the new sounds of modern technology. Crosley was founded back in 1920 when radios were the coolest electronics around. Nowadays, Crosley is replicating its classic designs with a stylish edge for new devices. Whereas a radio used to be just a radio, it is now a well-designed dock for an iPod or iPhone.
Crosley also offers turntables in a classic, retro-style ($149.95 and up). If you still have your old vinyls lying around or just enjoy an old-school sound, Crosley has turntable models that will take you back to the good ole days. These Crosley CD recorders not only play your old vinyls, CDs and cassettes, they also capture cherished sounds from outdated sources for easy transfer to a CD or a computer file.
Jukeboxes used to be found in every diner across the country, but now they’ve disappeared along with disco. Crosley has updated these vintage pieces with LED lighting and a player that reads MP3 files, providing not only a conversation piece for your billiards room, but a practical sound system as well.

This brand in particular will make over gyms and fitness centers at all of its 186 properties this year, as part of an attempt to tackle upscale competitors such as Crowne Plaza.
Westin is on the track of becoming the first hotel chain to use ActiViva lighting, fluorescent tube designed by lighting giant Philips which contains a high percentage of blue light and is claimed to result in an increase of performance of ten percent or more.
There is a traditional rubber floor replaced with natural woven flooring and a soft-tone color palette and a built-in entry unit in every club which holds essentials such as towels and water in one place.
As per Westin, the selection of gym machines has also been overhauled, with some machines being cut to make way for floor exercises.
