Hotels affect our health and wellbeing
Hotels, at their core, offer travelers a place to sleep, eat, and refresh while away from home.
Yet even luxury hotels can disrupt sleep, provide unhealthy food, and create stressful environments.
Harmful Indoor Air Quality
- Poor ventilation and filtration
- Pollutant from cleaning products and building
materials - Outdoor pollution intrusion into hotel
interiors - Short- and long-term impacts on respiratory
and cardiovascular
health
Sleep-Disrupting noises
- Slamming doors
- A/C units cycling on and off
- Other in-room equipment
- Noisy neighbors and housekeeping
- City noise
Inadequate Lighting and Shading Controls
- Light leaks from gaps around blackout
window curtains and room doors - Confusing and unintuitive lighting switches
- Poor or absent lighting in closets and bathroom mirrors
Unhealthy Food Options
- High in unhealthy fats and sugars
- Low in lean proteins and fiber
- Over-reliance on high-fat cooking
methods like frying makes it hard for guests
to gauge caloric intake - Lack of nutritional and ingredient
transparency - Highly processed ingredients
Poor Water Quality
- Limited or inconvenient access to filtered drinkable water
- Volatile chlorine and its byproducts can be inhaled from shower steam
Temperature and Humidity Discomfort
- Fluctuation from being too hot or too cold
- Non-uniform temperature within rooms
- Poorly functioning thermostats and limited
guest control - Unpleasant air speed and humidity
- Non-breathable bedding
Lack of Awareness and Poor Personalization
- Guests may be unaware of how their
hotel stays negatively impact their health due to limited knowledge and lack of transparency - Inadequate personalization despite
gathering guest preferences through
surveys and previous stay records
Hotel guests are left struggling to maintain their healthy routines and perform at their best physically and mentally while traveling.
