Ahead of National Mental Health Week from the 1st – 7th October, Hilton London Bankside will be installing a relaxation pod in the lobby of the hotel in a bid to help guests unwind during their stay.
Proudly presented in the hotel’s lobby, the Inhere Mediation Pod will be available to experience from the 26th September – 21st November, giving hotel guests two whole months of relaxation opportunities.
Designed by a meditation teacher and an interior designer, the Inhere Meditation Pod intertwines nature, reflection, and innovative design, allowing visitors to feel connected to themselves as well as to the environment. It aims to help users step away from the hustle and bustle, embracing ‘a moment of calm’ to rest, find serenity and re-centre – something that isn’t always easy to do due to the commitments and obligations of everyday life.
The pod is framed by a circular shape of Sapele wood signifying unity, balance and grounding. Featuring a graceful string curtain entrance, it offers just enough privacy to soothe the users mind without making them feel enclosed, whilst the earth-toned colours and fabrics promote a warm and calming feel. With a super comfortable lounge style chair and ottoman, access to Inhere meditation and relaxation tracks with headphones, and soft LED lighting, the Meditation Pod has everything guests need to complete their relaxation experience.
The installation of the Inhere Meditation Pod comes after recent studies revealed that even on holiday, *47% of travellers find it hard to switch off from everyday life. Hilton London Bankside wants to help encourage guests to take that all important time for themselves – ‘a moment of calm’, in which they can step into a world free of stress and anxiety, using the guided audio mediation sessions, provided inside the pod.
The pod is available to use by all those staying at the hotel or dining in one of the hotel’s restaurants, OXBO Bankside or The Distillery. Hilton London Bankside is also making the pod available to hotel team members to experience, in a bid to tackle the stigma around mental health and further promote a positive and supportive work environment.
For all those looking to switch off from everyday life whilst on holiday, zone out after a busy corporate meeting or simply invest in some time for themselves, the Inhere Meditation Pod is the ideal space to relax, unwind and re-balance getting users ready to tackle everyday life with a clear head.
Hilton London Bankside is situated in the vibrant cultural hub of London’s Bankside, moments from major transport links and iconic London attractions, including Tate Modern, The Shard, Shakespeare’s Globe theatre, and foodie favourite, Borough Market. Hilton London Bankside’s prime location offers guests an incredible base from which to explore London, but also for Mental Health Week, a calm base from which to relax.
