Pillow menus are passe. Hoteliers are now upping the ante as far as giving guests good quality sleep which has progressed beyond pillows to include everything from food to spa rituals and more.

REST AND REJUVENATE 

Good, undisturbed sleep and rest are part of the experience that hoteliers today intend to give their guests. The reason is simple. Well-rested guests are more likely to be satisfied with their stay. Prioritising good sleep for the guests has a ripple effect of driving loyalty, referrals and ultimately revenue.

Janet Thadou, Room Division Manager, Grand Hyatt Kochi Bolgatty, says, "We offer turn-down services on demand by focusing on foods and ingredients that induce sleep. Our mattress is chosen so that it creates a comfortable sleep environment, and practices relaxation techniques. We use a mattress that typically falls in the medium-firm range and can regulate your temperature and relieve pressure points. It uses a series of coils to provide support, bounce, and proper ventilation so that guests sleep cool throughout the night. The mattresses come with a combination of foam and coils as it allows for the maximum amount of heat dissipation and ventilation to help regulate body temperature. The pillows are firm, light, and soft which makes it a great companion for your sleep. The all-white goose soft feathers in them, keeps the pillow neither too warm nor too cold. The duvets are generously sized, providing ample coverage on the bed. This ensures that you can fully wrap yourself in the duvet, enhancing the feeling of security and warmth, which can contribute to a better night's sleep."
