Their secrets to better sleep…

Pan Pacific's philosophy proves how integral your bed can be in improving your quality of sleep. Optimising your cosiness with a plethora of sleep-boosting amenities, each suite can be customised with Chilisleep's Ooler Sleep System (essentially an air conditioning system for your bed), which adjusts from 13 to 46 degrees according to individual body temperature, a generous menu of pillow fillings, thicknesses and firmness and a comforting Mela weighted blanket.

Did you nod off?

Effortlessly. Between the 300 thread count and innovative Ooler Sleep System, falling and asleep, and more importantly staying asleep, has never been easier.

Their secrets to better sleep…

CBD, which is the not-so-secret ingredient in all of the Dreem Distillery products. From the Bed Balm (think of it as a grown up vaporub) to smooth onto tight muscles, to their ingestible Night Drops, they’re all supercharged with the mind-relaxing powers of CBD.

Plus who won’t sleep better when in the crisp cottons of a giant hotel bed?

Did you nod off?

For a solid eight hours, yes. And that was without having the utilise the black-out blinds either, although their a handy back-up. The deliciously scented Bed Balm was a definite favourite, a new must-have in my travel bag.

The Ultimate CBD Sleep Experience

Where is it?

Mondrian Shoreditch, London, from £350 per night

What’s included?

An overnight stay at Mondrian Shoreditch in one of their chic, plush-industrial rooms, which includes the incredible luxury of a steam rain shower. A signature 60-minute OTO CBD Balance massage, an OTO CBD sleep selection set including lavender pillow mist and a CBD aromatherapy roll-on. Plus, the hotel’s turn-down service using OTO’s award-winning mini sleep drops.

Their secrets to better sleep…

Investing in the huge attraction of all things CBD among wellness-obsessives, the ‘Balance’ massage uses OTO’s CBD isolate-infused oils - designed to calm the nervous system, soothe tense muscles and generally be deeply restorative. Plus, OTO has produced an accompanying piece of ‘sound therapy,’ which turns traditional spa tunes on their head, using gongs and atmospheric noises and makes for a transporting, trance-like effect. The -3 basement level spa ensures total privacy from the rest of the hotel, and utter silence beyond the intended aural experience.

Did you nod off?

In a word, absolutely. Whether it was the CBD getting under my skin, or the other-worldly sounds of gongs and minor chords, 60 minutes was enough to have me slipping into another state of being. I felt like I had to mentally climb back up through various levels of consciousness Inception-style when it was over. Small word to the wise; to maximise on the sleep benefits, don’t head out to a boozy dinner after your massage. Take full advantage of the relaxation by booking a late treatment and heading straight to bed after, for probably the best night’s kip of your life.

Sleep Transformation In Partnership With Votary

Where is it?

The Rosewood London, Holborn, from £4,259

What’s included?

Rosewood London don’t do anything by halves and their sleep retreat with Votary is no exception. Your two-night stay in one of their luxury suites includes a 120 minute (yes really, two hours!) Votary antidote sleep treatment - a must for those suffering from insomnia, jetlag, frequent night waking, high levels of stress and restlessness. The treatment can be experienced in Rosewood’s spa or as an in-room therapy - is there anything more bouji than an in-room massage? We think not.

A sleep retreat isn’t complete without a CBD treatment and at Rosewood you can choose between a 60 minute CBD facial or CBD massage, both curated to gently calm the skin and soothe a racing mind. If that wasn’t enough your stay is completed with two 60-minute sessions of yoga, meditation or breathing, again either in the spa or in the comfort of your suite. Leaving restored and reenergised is guaranteed.
