But now at the swank <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/HOTEL+PLAZA+ATHENEE+PARIS/local/1642">Plaza Athenee Hotel</a> in Paris, there's a scientific solution to insomnia and jetlag symptons with the NightCove Sleep Solution that's been installed bedside in the hotel's Art Deco Suites. <blockquote>Developed by the Sleep Clinic at Hotel-Dieu hospital in Paris, this device is a unique bedside lamp that helps improve the quality of sleep by bathing guests in selected light wavelengths and sound frequencies that are specially adapted for the physiological needs of sleep.

Brooklyn: Brooklyn's Music-Inspired Hotel Will Guarantee A 'Sound' Night's Sleep

We always like it when new hotels start interacting with their guests way before their doors have even opened. And at Brooklyn's music-inspired Hotel BPM, which doesn't open until April, there has been quite a bit of community involvement going on, practically since day one. Like posting shots of the finished bathrooms on Instagram. Or asking Facebook and Twitter fans to give the hotel's 76 custom-made mattresses a snappy name.

Last week, the "What's That Bed Called?" contest yielded a winner: "The Sound Sleeper." Which kind of makes us think there should be some kind of speaker system installed directly into the mattress—wouldn't that be cool! But maybe not so practical...

<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/61268/gallery_545_image_5103.jpg" class="top">Forgive us if we're way behind on this, but we just learned about a machine called the Pillow-Vac, which looks kind of like a photocopier but instead of toner and ink, it gets filled with down clusters and feathers. Designed to clean and "renovate" old pillows, the Pillow-Vac literally eats up all the dust-filled, germ-ridden, lumpy innards, sifts out the crap, and then spits everything back out into a pristine, fluffy new "ticking" (the technical term for the shell of a pillow). Pretty neat, huh? We were tipped off to the whole world of pillow rehabilitation by <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Hilton+Concord/ian/112866">Hilton Concord</a> in San Francisco, who just announced their own multi-million dollar renovationincluding brand new sustainable programs, like cold-water dishwashing,

Brooklyn: Sleep On The Bed You've Named At Hotel BPM

The hotel contest world is absolutely buzzing this week. First, a beer-'stache tournament going on at Standard Hotels. And now this: a mattress-naming competition that will land the grand prize winner a 1-night stay at Brooklyn's brand new Hotel BPM.

Yep. The DJ-owned, 75-room hotel, which will open in Sunset Park at the start of 2012, is seeking a cool, hip name for their cool, hip custom-designed mattresses. The contest is dubbed, appropriately, "What's That Bed Called?" From what we can tell, everything else in the hotel has already been named, so the brunt of the work is done.
