For travelers who enjoy the famed area mountain sports, the spa at the Park City property also offers a Muscle Recovery Ritual for post-ski or hiking soreness to get people ready for a restful night to wake up recharged and make the first chair lift with ease.
Conrad Los Angeles has added new technology advancement to its rest-related therapies, including Quantum Harmonic Therapy that features complex audio frequencies aligned to the body’s chakras, a Gharieni Welnamis Wave Table that combines a wave massage with binaural sounds, and Infrared PEMF Recovery Mats to provide muscles pain relief with immunity benefits.
Proper Hotels are renowned for innovative and world-class wellness programming, and as sleep tourism has become a major travel trend, the Santa Monica Proper took things a step further with an exclusive in-room Lullaby Sound Bath.

\"In today’s world, rest is a rare luxury. We wanted to create an experience where guests don’t just stay, they reset,\" Bruno Vergeynst, the hotel's Managing Director told \"GMA.\"
The new intimate 60-minute experience takes place at the end of the day, when guests -- or couples -- are tucked into bed, ready for rest. As the lights dim, a sound bath musician guides the guest through a soothing session, melting away stress and promoting deep, restorative sleep. The experience ends with a final mantra, followed by the musician gently turning off the lights, tiptoeing out, and locking the door behind them.
The Santa Monica Proper believes that \"sleep isn't just an amenity, it's part of a truly restorative stay,\" so this year the team also introduced an authentic Ayurvedic sleep ritual in collaboration with Martha Soffer and Surya Spa, that's rooted in centuries-old practices, which they said was \"designed to align the body’s natural rhythms and support deep sleep.\"
The hotel also has a Recovery Suite with hot and cold plunge therapies to help reduce muscle tension and prepare the body for rest. The room has custom organic mattresses and blackout curtains to provide an ideal sleep environment and curated sleep soundscapes, personalized for a deeper, more restorative sleep experience are available to guests.

The Conrad New York Downtown has a sleep package for just $150 that includes a Byredo nighttime care kit, silk sleep mask and Scentered therapy balm, plus the room includes a 1 p.m. late check-out time to help guests enjoy an extra snooze or calm morning routine without the rush.
New York may be the city that never sleeps, but The Benjamin Royal Sonesta Hotel offers a Rest & Renew program with highlights like a curated pillow menu featuring ten options, on-demand meditation, eye masks, ear plugs, white noise machines, and meditation cushions to create an ideal setting to doze off and sleep deeply.

The luxury boutique landmark hotel in the heart of the Big Apple enlisted new sleep aid partnerships since it first debuted in September, to help with tech-life balance. It added the soft glowing Loftie alarm clocks that double as a noise machine to rooms, as well as Nodpod weighted sleep masks and blankets.
The Benjamin Royal Sonesta Hotel also offers a Kids Sleep Program, developed specifically for young guests that offers a goose down kids pillow, a child-sized sleep mask, the \"Sweet Dreams: Bedtime Visualizations for Kids\" book, a mindfulness owl night light and a list of curated sleep tips for kids.
Virgin Hotels NYC launched a curated Sleep Menu this month, which a representative for the hotel told \"GMA\" is \"designed to help guests unwind and recharge.\"
