It’s a UK first! Travelodge has launched a hotel room which will allow customers to sleep under the stars in the comfort of their bed. Using a secret technique, the stunning ‘Night Sky’ has been created at a dozen Travelodge hotels across the country by artist Carl Marshall.
Carl and a colleague have artistically transformed a standard white ceiling into a cosmic sky by hand painting individual shooting stars, milky ways and constellations of twinkling stars. On average it took them three hours to complete one ceiling.
During the day, the ceilings look plain white but in darkness the stars appear to twinkle and the dust clouds seem to move mysteriously. Whilst the three dimensional effect of the ceiling also appears to fall towards the bed by around three feet, creating a sense of immersion.
In response to Travelodge’s sleep study
Travelodge has created the UK’s first night sky panorama hotel rooms in response to findings from its latest sleep study. The hotel chain surveyed 2,000 adults in order to investigate the nation’s most desirable sleeping locations.
Key findings from the study revealed the most desired kipping location for Britons is under a blanket of twinkling stars. 42% of adults choose a starry night sky backdrop as their most desired sleeping location in contrast to a tropical beach, rainforest and jungle. And 52% of Britons think there is something very magical about a starry night. Whilst four out of ten adults reported gazing up at a starry sky puts them in a romantic mood.
The ultimate outdoor sleeping experience – indoors?
Shakila Ahmed, Travelodge spokesperson said:
“As part of our commitment in helping to ensure our customers attain a good night’s sleep, we are constantly looking at innovative sleep aids. Therefore in response to our latest sleep study, which highlighted Britons most desirable place to nod off is under a blanket of stars, we took the challenge and created the ultimate outdoor sleeping experience indoors. Now our customers can gaze into a cosmic night sky of shooting stars, milky ways and constellations of twinkling stars from the comfort of their warm cosy bed.”
