There is a growing complaint in society about sleep deprivation. The reasons can be many - from anxiety to lifestyle changes to medical conditions, etc. But have you ever considered travelling as a therapy for sleeplessness Sounds strange But one of the trends which have picked up post pandemic is sleep tourism. Although the hospitality sector had been toying with the idea for quite some time, the popularity of the concept has picked up in recent years.
Properties across the globe are now focussing on the 'only sleep' experience. This means guests can now check in to hotels customised only for sleep-related activities.
Earlier this year, the Park Hyatt in New York introduced the Bryte Restorative Sleep Suite, new 900-square-feet rooms dedicated to rest.
In London, Zedwell is the first sleep-only hotel that allows its guests to enjoy a quiet break in the sound-proof property and AI-powered mattresses.
Mandarin Oriental, Geneva has, in fact, gone one step further and conducts sleep programs for their guests. They have teamed up with CENAS, a private medical sleeping clinic in Switzerland, to curate a three-day program that studies guests' sleeping patterns in order to identify potential sleeping problems.
