Sleep tourism is on the rise, but this is a true paradigm shift: a hospitality environment where every element from lighting to sound to temperature is optimized by evidence-based neuroscience to improve performance, recovery, and longevity. It’s a luxury that transforms sleep into a precision science.
Here’s what makes The Sleep Lab different:
- Adaptive Mattress Technology with personalized temperature control
- Personalized Sleep & Wake Automation that adjusts lighting, temperature, and sound to your circadian rhythm
- Neuroscience-backed rituals, including guided breathwork and soundscapes
- Contrast therapy showers (steam room + ice shower) and travel-tested sleep tools
- Dual research methodologies to track sleep quality and outcomes
This marks the first time a hotel brand has partnered with Dr. Walker to translate the science of sleep into a real-world, high-performance guest experience.
The Sleep Lab launches today, July 8th with four exclusive guest rooms now available for booking (starting at $1,700/night, 2-night minimum).
