Equinox Hotels has announced a partnership with Dr. Matthew Walker, author, sleep scientist and professor of neuroscience and psychology at the University of California, Berkeley. The introduction of this sleep innovation project with Dr. Walker deepens Equinox Hotels’ commitment to sleep-focused hospitality by integrating cutting-edge sleep science to elevate the guest experience.
Recognizing sleep as the cornerstone of health and a driver of movement, nutrition and recovery, the introduction of this sleep innovation project further advances Equinox Hotels’ existing sleep scientist-vetted guestrooms, AM + PM Rituals designed to optimize guests’ circadian rhythm, sleep-driven spa treatments, The Art + Science of Sleep program and recovery-focused RoomBar amenities.
Key initiatives include:
- Equinox Hotels Sleep Lab – An immersive, "living" experiment within Equinox Hotel New York where guests engage with cutting-edge sleep technologies and participate in studies led by Dr. Walker. Guests will explore environments designed to push the boundaries of sleep innovation and technology that will inform future property designs and improve sleep quality in real time.
- Enhanced future guestroom design – Future Equinox Hotels and Resorts guestrooms will offer cutting-edge sleep technologies, developed in consultation with Dr. Walker, to continue to improve and develop sleep-optimized environments.
- Equinox Hotels jet lag Reset – A proprietary digital offering providing personalized strategies to mitigate jet lag and optimize recovery supporting guests’ arrival and departure from its hotels and resorts. The Reset will be available on the Equinox Hotels website to also support its digital audiences’ travel.
The partnership with Dr. Matthew Walker also includes ongoing educational content curated by Dr. Walker, designed to engage and inform Equinox Hotels’ guests and digital audiences, sharing valuable insights into sleep science.
As part of Equinox Hotels’ commitment to sleep innovation, the second annual “Equinox Hotels Global Sleep Symposium,” taking place on May 1, will provide guests and industry leaders with the latest sleep science insights from Dr. Walker. Attendees will gain access to the Equinox Hotels Sleep Lab and other immersive programming designed to redefine the sleep experience.
