(PRESS RELEASE) MCLEAN, Va. and SAN FRANCISCO, 2025-Jan-25 — /Travel PR News/ — Hilton (NYSE: HLT) and Calm, a leader in mental wellness, have announced an exclusive partnership designed to meet the growing demand for wellness-focused travel experiences. Starting in March 2025, Hilton will integrate Calm’s award-winning content directly into its Connected Room Experience technology, giving guests access to a variety of wellness resources such as guided meditations, Sleep Stories, soundscapes, and mindfulness exercises—all available on the in-room TV, with no subscription required.
This collaboration comes at a time when the global wellness industry has reached an annual market value of $1.8 trillion, with the U.S. market alone growing by 10% year-over-year to a total of $480 billion, according to the McKinsey Future of Wellness Report from November 2024. As wellness continues to top the priority list for many consumers, sleep has emerged as a major focus, with 82% of U.S. consumers citing it as a key health concern and ranking it as the second-most pressing unmet need in health and wellness.
Amanda Al-Masri, Hilton’s vice president of wellness, shared her enthusiasm for the partnership: “We believe every guest’s stay should contribute to their well-being—physically and mentally. This collaboration with Calm is a thrilling step in transforming the travel experience by offering tools that allow guests to relax, reset, and rejuvenate during their time with us. By incorporating mindfulness into the stay, we aim to help guests recharge, ensuring they leave feeling refreshed and ready to take on whatever comes next.”
Calm, the world’s top app for sleep, meditation, and relaxation, is used by millions globally to improve sleep, reduce stress, and enhance mental clarity. This partnership with Hilton expands Calm’s reach even further, making its premium wellness offerings accessible to travelers, wherever they are.
Fergal Walker, vice president of partnerships at Calm, highlighted the significance of the collaboration: “Travel isn’t just about reaching your destination—it’s about how you feel while you’re there. With Hilton’s Connected Room Experience, we’re meeting travelers’ needs with curated mindfulness and sleep content, whether they’re dealing with jet lag, preparing for an important meeting, or simply unwinding on a family trip. Together with Hilton, we’re helping guests find peace and rejuvenation, even when they’re away from home.”
Hilton’s Connected Room technology, available in over 2,400 hotels worldwide, allows guests to personalize their experience by controlling room settings and streaming content of their choice.
