YOTEL, the innovative hotel brand, is setting new standards for restful sleep with SmartBed™, Bodyclock and Recovery Kit and is a pioneer in the “Sleep Tourism” trend.
Now travelers in Switzerland can also test these offers.
Geneva/Frankfurt am Main, July 31, 2024 – For many, travel is one of the best things in life, but it can also be very stressful.
From long-haul flights and jet lag to changes in working hours, it can have a significant impact on sleep patterns.
Today, travelers are prioritizing sleep like never before, and hoteliers are responding accordingly: from high-techsleep pods and luxurious bedding to relaxation-enhancing room design, the trend of sleep tourismis fundamentally changing expectations of well-being on the road.
YOTEL, the international and innovative hotel brand, recognized this need of its guests back in 2015 and introduced the ‘SmartBed™’.
Inspired by the luxurious seats in business and first class cabins on long-haul flights, this space-saving concept had never before been implemented in a hotel context and has since become the cornerstone of YOTEL’s sleep standardworldwide. No longer Sleepless in Switzerland With the opening of the YOTEL Lake Geneva in April, the SmartBed™ has now also found its way to Switzerland.
Located just a few minutes from Geneva Airport and close to Lake Geneva, the YOTEL brand’s first Swiss hotel offers its signature technology and design in every room.
YOTEL’s fundamental design principle is based on offering its guests efficiently and creatively designed hotel rooms.
At the center is the patented SmartBed™, which is highly adaptable and effortlessly transforms from a flat bed to a sofa at the touch of a button.
This dynamic functionality optimizes the use of space and meets guests’ changing needs for relaxation, productivity or entertainment.
Before bedtime, however, guests at YOTEL Geneva Lake can enjoy views of the picturesque landscape of Lake Geneva, the Alps and even Mont Blanc on sunny days from the rooftop terrace.
Hikes through the neighboring vineyards or bike rides along the lakeshore fill your lungs with fresh country air and help prepare you for a restful night’s sleep.
According to sleep scientists, fresh air has a calming and fatiguing effect, so spending more time outdoors during the day can help you feel sleepy at night. Good morning Sunshine!
To further enhance the quality of sleep, YOTEL has recently introduced Lumie.
The Lumie Bodyclock Glow 150 is designed to regulate the sleep-wake cycle and mimics the natural rising and setting of the sun.
It gradually awakens sleepersso that they feel more alert when they wake up.
In the evening, Lumie allows you to wind down naturally by simulating a sunset.
YOTEL guests can borrow a Lumie free of charge at selected YOTELs worldwide, including YOTEL Geneva Lake. Beauty Sleep Globetrotters arriving at Geneva Airport after a long and tiring flight can treat their skin to an extra dose of relaxation with Urban Jungle’s Skin Recovery Kit.
In 2022, YOTEL and the Australian beauty brand entered into an exclusive partnership, making YOTEL the first hotel group to offer the brand’s products as amenities in its guest rooms.
The Skin Recovery Kit can be added as an extra to any booking.
Urban Jungle’s commitment to sustainability, inclusivity and diversity is evident in their 100% vegan and cruelty-free products, as well as their use of EcoPure packaging and large, refillable bottles to promote plastic reduction and waste minimization. ‘Sleep Well’ add-on YOTEL Geneva Lake is now offering a new booking add-on that allows guests to try out all of YOTEL’s sleep-enhancingamenities: The ‘Sleep Well’ add-on includes:
