The JW Marriott hotel chain has revamped the traditional turndown service with a program that includes an organic snack bar, essential oils for a relaxing bath, and luxury chocolates to replace the classic mint on the pillow.
Designed to help guests relax and rejuvenate while on the road, the Nightly Refresh Program will launch at participating hotels worldwide across the chain this summer.
For the many travelers who have a hard time dozing off in beds other than their own, the service will include an organic “Dream Bar” that could be described as breakfast at midnight. Instead of chips and nuts, for instance, guests are offered organic oats which aid in the release of serotonin to promote relaxation and help them wind down.
Blueberries are also on the menu to offer a dose of antioxidants, fight off inflammation and replenish the skin during the night. Chia seeds, almonds and coconuts also provide vitamin B6 and fiber.
To recharge and detox, blends of essential oils such as pink grapefruit, rosemary and juniper berries are offered for baths and showers to help restore balance in tired bodies after a long flight.
Other amenities include wine samples and luxury bonbons from Astor.
The Four Seasons also offers an extensive range of turndown services across their properties, that includes everything from a warm glass of milk, aromatherapy, hot toddies, hypnotherapy, and a pillow menu for different preferences.
And for the littlest guests at the Four Seasons in Chicago, a “bedtime story butler” will pay an in-room visit with tales to be read.
