Loughborough-based Imago Venues is raising awareness of the business benefits offered by a good night’s sleep.
The new Elite Athlete Centre and Hotel at Loughborough University, run by Imago Venues, has been created to maximise performance for any guest.
Experts from a variety of fields have gathered to provide input on the design of the hotel, ensuring the very best conditions for guests during their stay. Top priority for all guests is having the ability to relax, recover and sleep.
Imago Venues’ head of sales and marketing Emma Boynton comments: “Being able to sleep well while away is, for some, a difficult and elusive challenge. Despite glossy adverts, sumptuous bedding and the perception that all hotel visitors have restful nights and sweet dreams, the reality can be different with many people suffering poor sleep in hotel environments.
“We are challenging that through our new accommodation at the EAC as well as improvements to bedrooms in Burleigh Court, which are currently undergoing a £3million refurbishment.”
Image has also enlisted advice from sleep expert Luke Gupta, who works at the English Institute of Sport. His top tips for good hotel sleep include:
- Maintaining your personal sleep routine while you’re away from home as much as possible
- Taking the time to unpack this can help you feel more settled in an unfamiliar bedroom.
- Ensuring the airconditioning, heating and lighting in the room are set to your preference
- Packing items like photos, books, blankets, and even your own pillow, and placing these items around the room to help familiarise yourself with your new personal space.
- Using the bed in your hotel room should be used for sleeping only. Activities like reading, working, or even eating in bed can make it difficult to sleep.
