"Our objective is to bring the rigor of sleep science into the hospitality space, offering an experience that is not only luxurious but also scientifically validated. Sleep is the foundation of human performance, and The Sleep Lab offers guests an unparalleled opportunity to enhance their health, cognition, and overall well-being.”
-- Dr. Matthew Walker, sleep scientist and author
Equinox Hotels has introduced a bold step in sleep-focused hospitality with its new Sleep Lab, created in partnership with neuroscientist Dr. Matthew Walker. Four Premier King rooms have been reimagined as restorative environments, blending design with research-backed science.
Guests are surrounded by adaptive mattress technology, personalized wake-and-sleep automation, contrast therapy showers, circadian-inspired meditation, and thoughtful AM + PM rituals. Each stay includes a travel sleep kit, nightly quality assessments, and—uniquely—the chance to take part in Dr. Walker-led sleep studies.
Developed to lower stress, support recovery, and encourage long-term performance, the Sleep Lab is less an amenity and more a wellness intervention—rooted in science yet delivered through luxury.
Price: From $1,700 + taxes per night (2-night minimum).
