Ever been jolted awake by unexpected noises in a hotel room? 🔊 🛏️ I vividly recall a night when I was deep in sleep at a hotel in Victoria, only to be startled awake by the echoing slam of a neighbouring door. 😫 It wasn't just the immediate shock; the lingering adrenaline made it nearly impossible to drift back to sleep. These disturbances, whether it's the hum of an AC, distant chatter, or the city's hustle, can turn a dreamy getaway or a crucial business trip into a restless ordeal. Noise isn't just an inconvenience; it directly impacts our wellbeing. A disrupted sleep cycle, heightened stress, or simply the inability to focus can all trace back to the sounds around us. Enter the concept of coloured noise. It's not about drowning out the world but creating a harmonious ambiance that aids in relaxation, focus, and sleep. Recent collaborations, like the one between Headspace and Hyatt, are introducing this concept to travellers, offering a sanctuary of sound. Here's why this matters: 😴 Guest Wellbeing: A rested guest is a happy guest. Enhancing sleep quality directly translates to a better overall stay experience. 😎 Setting Standards: In the competitive world of hospitality, it's the little things that count. Addressing noise disturbances can set a hotel apart and result in more coveted 5-star reviews. 💡 Embracing Innovation: Leveraging technology and sound science to improve guest experience is the future of hospitality. For all the travellers seeking a peaceful retreat and for hoteliers aiming to elevate guest experience, it's time to tune into the transformative power of sound. Here's to quieter nights and rejuvenated mornings! 🌙🌞 https://lnkd.in/enuxDyZy

In today’s fast-paced world, the concept of taking a vacation has evolved beyond simply sightseeing and indulging in local cuisine.

Taking a holistic approach to health and wellness in hotels

Taking a holistic approach to health and wellness in hotels

Why we believe in the art of hospitality. 🧖🏼♀️🧖🏾♂️🧖🏽 In our digital world human interaction is still a super power. The convienence of the digital world can save time, and yet many of the best experiences still involve a supportive and trained guiding hand. We see this at the best: • Restaurants with amazing chefs and servers. • Your favorite yoga studio with trained yogis. • That bartender who understands what you like and makes your drink accordingly. Human interaction is still a super power. Sauna sometimes get’s lumped into “amenities” basically a perk. An add on. But often those amenities are forgotten if not understood well. Think the musty gym sauna. 😬 For us, sauna is the table to serve the best experience. And to serve well we have built a team of trained, capable, supportive guides. Our sauna guides are the heart of our work. They are hospitality pros, committed to helping guests have the most impactful experience. It’s why I’m so excited about our partnership with Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts. Their commitment to hospitality through highly trained people is second to none. Like I said, human interaction is still a super power. Peyton Stasiak Director of Experience at Cedar & Stone Nordic Sauna has curated one of the most thoughtful, creative, and impactful experiences we have hosted yet. The reviews from our first guests have been nothing short of inspired. During the soft launch we invited the team from the Four Seasons Hotel Minneapolis to join us. One of them said, “Over the years, I have had the pleasure of experiencing many unique wellness treatments with Four Seasons, and I have my own sauna at home, but this is my favorite!” If you find yourself in #minneapolis, we’d be honored to host you and your group. Human interaction is still a super power. Take a look: https://lnkd.in/gK6gBqQi

Did you know.....? That checking into a hotel doesn't mean checking out of your fitness routine? Amidst the comfort of plush beds and exquisite dining experiences, it's easy to forget about maintaining a healthy lifestyle. But did you know that incorporating a workout routine during your stay can enhance your travel experience? Taking a brisk walk or utilizing the hotel gym not only keeps you energized but also promotes better sleep and mental clarity. It's a fantastic way to offset the indulgences that come with travel while ensuring you stay on top of your game, both personally and professionally. Let's turn our hotel stays into an opportunity for holistic well-being. Share your favorite ways to stay active while on the road, or perhaps a tip on choosing healthier options from the hotel menu with us in the comments section please! #hospitality #hospitalitytourism #hospitalitytips #athena #athenatips #welness #healthandwellness #traveltips

Why wellness is the future of hospitality? The hospitality wellness trend is rapidly growing as travelers increasingly seek experiences promoting their health and well-being. Hotels can adapt by integrating comprehensive wellness programs, including spa treatments, yoga classes, healthy dining options, and fitness centers. This holistic approach helps guests relax and rejuvenate and enhances their overall travel experience. By prioritizing wellness, hotels can differentiate themselves in a competitive market, meet the evolving demands of modern travelers, and create a more memorable and satisfying stay for their guests.

As it's #WorldMentalHealthDay we wanted to share our top tips for staying happy and healthy when travelling for business (or pleasure) #wellness #wellbeing #traveltips

Yesterday we turned up for a spa afternoon at The Spa At Breedon Priory expecting a random Wednesday, overcast, windy day in March would be reasonably quiet. Well, I couldn’t have been more wrong! There was a full complement of people waiting to enjoy the relaxation of the day. Warm outdoor pool (one cold pool which only a few braved including mum) and saunas and steam room complete with a delicious lunch. It made me think of Daniel Priestley's book Oversubscribed. Breedon spa is the epitome of "oversubscribed". They have gotten their brand strategy exactly right to enable a full complement of guests on an unexpected day of the week. So, what is it they do right? Unapologetic pricing. Luxurious looking website enabling quick booking and payment. Easy online health forms with helpful reminders to fill in. Warm and luxurious welcome. Clean and inviting. Amazing chef. Friendly staff. Award winning. They also make use of the Value Ladder. By having a good quality gym (Breedon Priory Health Club) attached, which we are also members of, the first place we think of for a spa day is right next door to where we go every day, and because it is a step in luxury too, it still feels special. Matt wasn’t sure what the value would be of a spa day when we sit in a jacuzzi each morning but now he’s converted. That’s added another item to our lifestyle list; frequent trips to a spa to enhance relaxation and wellbeing. Yesterday we spent a lot of time (as branders often do), looking at what was going right, or wrong in the environment we are in, and we both agreed that we couldn’t find anything wrong with the brand experience. This is what we aim to achieve for our clients. A brand experience where the client says, “that felt great to be part of”. The first step for this is Clarity Roadmap.
