mgm grand

7. MGM Grand Hotel & Casino, Las Vegas, NV

Customer Satisfaction Rating: 84% (48,784 reviews)

The team behind MGM designed the Stay Well ® rooms down to the tiniest detail, all with the goal of improving sleep.

First, there’s the lighting. The rooms use soft lighting, which shifts to slightly longer, red wavelengths at night, in order to prevent delayed melatonin production (as happens when we use blue-light-heavy electronics like our smartphone late at night). Meanwhile, blackout shades prevent any sunlight from waking you up too early. Dawn simulator alarm clocks wake guests naturally in the morning, using light instead of blaring noise. Bathroom mirrors use light therapy bulbs in order to boost alertness and energy in the morning.

Then there’s everything else. The shower heads fuse vitamin C into the water, giving guests an energetic pep in their step. Aromatherapy diffusers are also available with relaxing scents. In addition to being non-smoking rooms, the air purification system clears the room air of any dust mites or allergies, making it easy for allergy-prone guests to sleep at night. Odor-resistant bedding also helps keep things clean.

Food options are designed by nutritionists to help guests eat well while they stay well. With Las Vegas being the gastro-hub that it is, many visitors indulge in the types of foods that aren’t great for sleep. The Stay Well menu, developed by Cleveland Clinic nutritionists, includes healthy, sleep-promoting ingredients to counteract those effects.

The MGM bed is a plant-based memory foam mattress by Essentia, enabling plush support while staying cool.

Make your own hotel bed at home

Want to make your own hotel bed at home? You’re not alone. Hotel beds are catching on. Whether it’s the simple luxury of something new, the magic of having someone else make your bed, or actually something to do with the bed itself, many of us would prefer to sleep in hotel beds on a daily basis.

If you want to make your own bed feel more like a hotel bed, just follow these tips.

1. Buy a hotel bed.

The easiest way to get a hotel bed at home is to buy an actual hotel bed. Many of the large hotel chains now offer their mattress, bedding, pillows, and more for purchase on their website or through the concierge, including the Hilton Bed, The Ritz-Carlton Bed, Westin Heavenly Bed, The Marriott Bed, and The Four Seasons Bed.

You’ll note these beds aren’t cheap. They run much higher than the typical mattress, and a lot of that is pure branding. But if you want to feel that hotel luxury at home, it may be worth it.

2. Use white bedding.

There’s something about white sheets that reminds us of a hotel. The white bedding makes it easier for hotels to clean the bed, and easily renovate the decor in a room, but to us, it looks like luxury.

Choose all white sheets, pillow covers, and a down comforter with a cotton duvet cover. If you want a bit of color, save it for the coverlet.

3. Get extra sheets.

Most hotels use high-quality, 300-thread-count minimum sheets, and they don’t stop at a fitted sheet and regular sheet. A key difference between most hotel beds and home beds is the inclusion of a middle sheet. Having a flat sheet and middle sheet on top of a fitted sheet ensures you’re always tucked in among something soft.

Pro tip: To really go for luxury, ditch the fitted sheet for another flat sheet, and learn to tuck it in hotel-style like they do at the Four Seasons in Paris. Just watch this video.

4. Say yes to more pillows.

While you don’t want to sleep on more than one pillow, having the visual of multiple fluffy pillows on your bed denotes extravagance and luxury. That’s why many hotels now offer pillow menus as well; it feels luxurious to have a choice of multiple pillows.

Make sure the pillow you’re sleeping on is supportive, whether it’s feather, buckwheat, memory foam, or a down alternative. For the others, just make sure they look good.

5. Buy a quality mattress.

Hotels heavily invest in the designs of their beds. These mattresses have to stay durable and supportive for a variety of body types over an extended period of time.

Whether you purchase a hotel bed or not, make sure yours is made with quality materials and construction. Check out our buying guides to various mattress types so you know what you need to look for in memory foam, latex, innerspring, and hybrid beds.

6. Declutter your bedroom.

Besides the bed, the other thing that differentiates hotel bedrooms from our own is the lack of personal clutter. Personal clutter may make home feel like home, but it’s also distracting and stressful for your brain, and it can collect dust and allergens that make it tough for you to fall asleep.

Remove anything from your bedroom that reminds you of work. Keep the decor minimal, with abstract art, with a few accents like a flower vase or bedside lamp for your nightstand.

7. Treat yourself to turndown service.

While it might not be as special as having housekeeping do it for you, following a bedtime routine around transitioning your bedroom from day to night will not only help you fall asleep faster (your brain comes to view the ritual as a prequel to sleep) but it will give your bed that special “hotel” touch.

Dim the lights, listen to some relaxing music, and turn down the sheets. Put a small fluffy rug by your bed with slippers ready to slip into in the morning.
