If rest and relaxation is a major goal for your next luxury vacation, you’re not alone. According to Hilton’s 2026 Trends Report, 56 percent of respondents said their number-one motivation to travel for leisure in 2026 is “to rest and recharge.” Another recent poll from Gallup found that 57 percent of U.S. adults said they would feel better if they got more sleep.

What better time to work on improving your sleep habits than during a vacation? And while a big comfy bed and an escape from your daily routine might be all you need, some of the world’s top luxury resorts take it a step (actually, make that many steps) further. To really recharge on vacation, pack your favorite PJs and book a stay at these luxury properties where a good night’s rest is a priority.

Book The Art + Science of Sleep package at Equinox Hotel New York to make turning in a truly memorable experience. You’ll enjoy a two-night stay in a room entirely optimized for sleep, where a touch of the “Dark. Quiet. Cool” option on the in-room tablet transforms the room into a sleep chamber blocking out both sound and light pollution. Beds are made up in temperature-regulating natural fibers, and the RoomBar is stocked with herbal sleep-inducing teas, tinctures, and high-performance eye masks.

The in-room AM + PM Rituals program guides you through breathwork techniques designed to optimize your circadian rhythm and help you unwind before bedtime to wake up feeling naturally energized. The package also includes two sessions on the Wave Table at The Spa by Equinox Hotels (a 30-minute treatment that provides similar benefits to three hours of sleep) plus two cryotherapy treatments that help improve deep sleep quality by reducing cortisol levels and increasing oxygen and blood flow throughout the body.

Locally crafted Matouk bed linens lay the foundation for a good night’s sleep at The Beatrice in Providence. Through the 47-room boutique hotel’s Sleep Concierge service, you can curate your preferred in-room sensory environment with the help of SNOOZ white noise machines, humidifiers, and a pillow menu offering everything from specialty lavender to memory gel foam pillows.

The luxury hotel’s new “Beatrice Sleep Edit” nightly turndown service goes beyond the standard dimmed lighting and drawn curtains, with Venchi chocolates, a cozy bathrobe and slippers, and a “Tell Me Tomorrow” Sleep Jotter Set to help clear the mind before turning in. That’s a nod to the hotel’s namesake, Providence philanthropist and style icon Beatrice Temkin, who practiced that motto to wind down at the end of the day.

If you want to take your shut eye to the next level, add the Be Rested Sleep Wellness Package, which includes in-room use of Therabody SmartGoggles and an “anti-nightcap” craft mocktail at the hotel’s Bellini Rooftop.
