InterContinental Hotels & Resorts has unveiled a new partnership with the Timeshifter app to provide guests with cutting-edge technology aimed at combating jetlag. This initiative is part of the hotel chain’s global rollout of transformative services, designed to enhance the travel experience for modern travelers.
The Timeshifter app, grounded in the latest circadian science, offers personalized jetlag mitigation plans. These plans take into account each guest’s chronotype, sleep patterns, itinerary, and personal preferences, providing a tailored solution for every trip. The same algorithm used by astronauts, elite athletes, and Formula 1 drivers ensures optimal performance during travel, whether for quick business trips or complex multi-city journeys.
In addition to the app, InterContinental is introducing a new concept in restorative guest rooms. Developed with neuroscience-based designer Isabelle Sjövall, these rooms focus on elements like tones, textures, lighting, and biophilia to help guests find rest and rejuvenation. The initiative also includes a menu of nutritionally rich dishes designed to counter travel fatigue and boost vitality, featuring ingredients that mitigate the body’s natural fatigue response.
Tom Rowntree, Vice President of Luxury & Lifestyle Brands at IHG Hotels & Resorts, highlighted the significance of this partnership: “By harnessing the power of cutting-edge solutions like Timeshifter, we’re not only addressing the common challenges faced by travelers but also redefining the entire guest experience.”
InterContinental’s collaboration with Timeshifter complements its ongoing efforts to reimagine luxury travel. Last year, the brand announced initiatives to cater to the modern luxury traveler, emphasizing culturally rich experiences and approachable luxury. With over 220 properties worldwide, InterContinental continues to lead the luxury hotel segment, ensuring guests are replenished, restored, and reenergized.
The brand’s strategic growth includes doubling its luxury & lifestyle portfolio over the past five years, now comprising 534 properties with 114,570 rooms globally. This expansion solidifies IHG’s position as a major player in the luxury hotel market.
InterContinental guests will benefit from complimentary access to the Timeshifter app for both inbound and outbound journeys, further enhancing their travel experience with scientifically-backed jetlag solutions.
