Kixby Hotel Debuts Silent Retreat Offer

More and more people seek ways to disconnect and get offline, and truly unplugging feels like a luxury in today’s day and age. Burnout and screen fatigue helped fuel the silent travel trend, where travelers seek moments of stillness, even in the world’s busiest destinations. Aligned with the trend, Midtown Manhattan’s Kixby Hotel recently debuted its Silent Retreat stay experience to celebrate National New York Day on Sept. 21.

The antidote to the city that never sleeps, the experience encourages travelers to slow down, disconnect and experience New York intentionally. Highlights include:

• In the guest’s suite, a personal Unpluq tag, a physical tool that blocks access to selected apps, assists guests with the digital detox experience. The tag is available to keep following the stay.
• In partnership with journaling brand Intelligent Change, guests receive a Five Minute Journal for moments of reflection throughout the stay.
• Guests can enjoy curated walking routes through nearby parks and green spaces; guests are encouraged to use their Unpluq tag to experience the city more intentionally.
• Indulge in an in-room sunrise affirmation ceremony, self-guided by Intelligent Change’s Mindful Affirmations.
• An in-suite wind-down ritual featuring a Kitsch silk eye mask to encourage deeper, more restorative rest.
• Nicole Kelner’s illustrated guidebook, Quietest Places in New York City: Finding Calm & Peace in Urban Chaos, guides guests toward rare pockets of peace in the city.
