Hotels are continuously seeking new innovative ways to enhance guest experiences. One such innovation gaining traction is the introduction of sensory packs.

So you may be thinking, 'What exactly are Sensory Packs'? ...

Sensory packs are collections of items that we have specifically tailored to stimulate or soothe the senses. They often include some of the following: 

  • Weighted blankets: Providing a calming effect through deep pressure stimulation. 
  • Noise-cancelling headphones: Helps to reduce auditory overload. 
  • Aromatherapy products: Use scents like lavender for relaxation. 
  • Fidget toys: Aid in maintaining focus and reducing anxiety. 
  • Soft lighting options: Creates a soothing and calming environment.

Sensory Packs Offer a Range of Benefits for Guests

  • Enhanced Comfort and Well-being: Sensory packs cater to guests with autism, ADHD, or other sensory processing disorders, ensuring they feel more comfortable and less anxious during their stay. 
  • Personalized Experience: Offering sensory packs demonstrates a hotel’s commitment to accommodating diverse needs, providing a personalized and thoughtful guest experience. 
  • Increased Loyalty and Positive Reviews: Guests who feel understood and cared for are more likely to become repeat visitors and leave positive reviews and recommend them to others, enhancing the hotel’s reputation. 
  • Inclusivity: By offering sensory packs, hotels promote inclusivity, showing that they really value the well-being of all guests, including those with specific sensory needs. 

Benefits for Hotels 

  • Competitive Edge: Providing sensory packs sets a hotel apart from competitors, appealing to a much broader market segment. 
  • Enhanced Reputation: Being known for inclusive practices can significantly boost a hotel’s reputation in the hospitality industry. 
  • Increased Bookings: Families and individuals seeking sensory-friendly environments will prefer hotels that offer these amenities, potentially increasing bookings and revenue. 
  • Staff Training Opportunities: Implementing sensory packs often comes with staff training, enhancing overall service quality as employees become more attuned to diverse guest needs.
