LANGHAM HOSPITALITY GROUP GETS IN BED WITH WORLD SLEEP SOCIETY TO LAUNCH GLOBAL SLEEP WELLNESS PROGRAMM

In-room wellness program launched in partnership with World Sleep Society focuses on the holistic benefits of sleep, highlighting the restorative powers of better rest with customizable Sleep Matters by Chuan menus and bedtime advice

Langham Hospitality Group is helping guests get out of the right side of the bed with the launch of Sleep Matters by Chuan, a comprehensive global sleep wellness programme developed in conjunction with the World Sleep Society.

As sleep plays a vital role in a memorable travel experience, helping travellers enjoy a good night’s rest allows for greater enjoyment of a holiday, higher productivity on a business trip, and is the connective element between a hotel and its guests.

Sleep Matters by Chuan rolls out across the globe in time for World Sleep Day (March 18), as The Langham Hotels and Resorts and Cordis Hotels and Resorts, putting sleep wellness at the heart of its mission to help guests rest better in a world where as many as 8 out of 10 people in some global surveys have said they want to improve their sleep.

Langham Hospitality Group’s Sleep Matters by Chuan programme has been developed in conjunction with the World Sleep Society whose mission is dedicated to advancing sleep health worldwide with sleep medicine and scientific expertise. Exclusive elements include a magazine curated by the World Sleep Society as well as elements based around wellness rituals and offerings from Langham Hospitality Group’s global spa and wellness brand, Chuan Spa.

“Sleep is one of the essential connections between our hotels and our guests,” said Bob van den Oord, Regional Vice President – Operations for North America, Europe and the Middle East of Langham Hospitality Group. “There is a direct link to guest sleep quality and their happiness with their hotel. Sleep Matters by Chuan is deliberately designed to enhance the wellness of our guests with new rituals and habits that they can take home and use long after they have stayed with us.”

“Each of our hotels across the world has embraced Sleep Matters by Chuan and introducing their own packages and local elements to delight our guests. We’ll be able to introduce our guests to the knowledge of our Chuan Spa wellness concepts in collaboration with the World Sleep Society in one holistic programme, to help them achieve better rest while they are staying with us,” he added.

Allan O’Bryan, Executive Director of the World Sleep Society said: “In today’s demanding world, regular healthy sleep is a critical foundation to a healthier future. This new global partnership with Langham Hospitality Group aligns with our aim to draw attention to the importance of good sleep for achieving a healthier everyday quality of life.”
