Equinox Hotels has always been committed to high-performance luxury hospitality and health. In furtherment of this cause, the brand recently announced a partnership with Dr. Matthew Walker, author of Why We Sleep, a sleep scientist, and a professor of neuroscience and psychology at University of California, Berkeley. The new initiative promises to “push the boundaries of sleep advancements within hospitality.”

“At Equinox Hotels, we understand that sleep isn’t just a luxury—it’s essential to living a high-performance life,” said Chris Norton, CEO, Equinox Hotels. “This partnership with Dr. Walker extends our leadership in the industry, reinforcing our commitment to delivering the highest-quality regeneration experiences to our guests and helping them perform at their best.”

“Sleep is the foundation for everything we do—as expressed in one of the four pillars of Equinox Hotels,” said Dr. Walker. “I’m thrilled to partner with Equinox Hotels to develop innovative sleep solutions that will revolutionize the guest experience in hospitality and empower travelers to achieve their full potential.”

The partnership also includes ongoing educational content curated by Dr. Walker, and the second annual Equinox Hotels Global Sleep Symposium, on May 1.

KŌAST Review

In Los Angeles, word spreads quickly when a bonafide “A-list” chef opens a new restaurant, complete with a painstakingly crafted menu and ambiance that whispers (not shouts) “exclusive.” This is certainly the case with the warmly lit, 60-seat KŌAST Melrose, packed every night since its Jan. 29 opening. While the dining experience involves painstakingly prepared dishes almost too pretty to tear into, the management and staff keep things grounded to ensure it shines as a “neighborhood spot” more about the food than whomever comes in to enjoy it.

Vancouver Entices Meeting-Goers with Its Stunning Beauty and Sustainability

When I first visited Vancouver, I was headed to the city for a work event. I anticipated a hectic few days of business travel, but what I didn’t expect was the awe-inspiring natural beauty of the city. From there, I ventured out into the wilds of Canada’s Pacific Coast with a trip to Vancouver Island and Tofino. I have returned — for work and pleasure — many times since over the years. I found that first trip nothing short of perfect, which is unsurprising considering Vancouver has established itself as an alluring and unique destination for MICE tourism. Vancouver offers sustainability and versatility for business travelers and hosts more than 500 major domestic and international conventions, tradeshows and more.

2 Airlines Now Use Apple Features for Enhanced Baggage Tracking

It’s a fear (and even experience) we’ve all unfortunately had when traveling: We get to our destination or back home and wait at baggage claim, only to have the sinking realization our bag didn’t emerge and is missing. Fortunately, more and more airlines seek ways to avoid these problems or, at least in the event your bag does go missing temporarily, have ways to keep tabs on bags.
