[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]When was the last time you had a good night’s sleep – especially while travelling? Sometimes, no matter how fancy the suite, or how romantic the city, falling asleep seems like a nigh impossible task. Perhaps it’s the unfamiliarity of your surroundings, or the unavoidable stressors of travel, but a good sleep can sometimes be elusive to even the most well-travelled amongst us.
Before bedtime, hotels usually offer a turndown service to signal that it’s time to hit the sheets. Turndown service normally entails a quick pillow-fluff and sheet-tug, but for Raffles Hotels, they’ve created an entire sleep ritual to replace the service – all tailor-made for you.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]
