The Big Six: Hotels for a deep sleep
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Hotel Gabriel, Paris
The art deco façade of this Parisian townhouse hotel belies a vision of modern comfort within. The ground floor of the self-proclaimed "detox hotel" is all white walls and glass screens etched with illuminated patterns. Meanwhile, rooms are iridescent in hues of pearl and gold. If the décor isn't restful enough, a selection of the rooms are fitted with a "Nightcove" system that promotes restful sleep through ambient lighting, music and special relaxation techniques.
Hotel Gabriel, 25 rue du Grand-Prieure, 11th arrondissement, Paris, France (00 33 1 47 00 13 38; gabrielparismarais.com). Doubles start at €127, room only.
Hotel Quellenhof, Switzerland
Designed for the acute insomniac rather than a respite-seeking holidaymaker, this Swiss spa town hotel's two-night Sleep Diagnostics programme combines state-of-the-art research and treatment with fitness, relaxation, fresh mountain air and five star luxury.

Before you drift off to an idyllic Thai beach resort, consider first combating your jetlag at Bangkok's Vie Hotel. Guests can leave the frenetic city at the door of this modern glass skyscraper and settle in for the holistic Deep Sleep programme, which combines a stay in a deluxe suite with an in-depth session with a sleep consultant. Once fully rejuvenated, there is a rooftop pool and Jacuzzi, a spa, restaurant and several bars to enjoy at the hotel, while the dizzying delights of central Bangkok are also close by if you're raring to go again.
