From Sleep Expert Sessions to Sound Baths Under the Stars, Westin Hotels & Resorts Across the Region Showcase Comprehensive 'Sleep Well' Programs Through Culturally Immersive Experiences SINGAPORE, March 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- As World Sleep Day returns on March 13, 2026, Westin Hotels & Resorts, part of Marriott Bonvoy's global portfolio of more than 30 extraordinary hotel brands, reaffirms its leadership in sleep and well-being across Asia Pacific excluding China (APEC). Guided by the brand's Sleep Well pillar, Westin continues to champion rest as a vital foundation for health, performance, and overall wellness - placing sleep at the very heart of the travel experience. Sleep Well, Live Better - Westin Hotels & Resorts For over a decade, Westin has empowered guests to transcend the rigors of travel while on the road through the brand's pillars of well-being: Sleep Well, Eat Well, and Move Well. Every Westin sleep experience begins with the brand's iconic Heavenly® Bed, featuring custom-designed mattresses, plush pillows, and luxurious linens that have redefined hotel sleeping standards since their introduction. Complementing the bed are signature sleep-enhancing touchpoints such as the Sleep Well Lavender Balm, infused with calming essential oils to ease tension before rest, and the Sleep Well Menu, offering thoughtfully curated, sleep-supportive superfoods through in-room dining. "Sleep is not something we treat as a moment in time at Westin Hotels & Resorts," said Cristiano Rinaldi, Chief Lodging Product & Services Officer - Asia Pacific excluding China, Marriott International. "It's a long-term commitment. Our role is to help guests genuinely disconnect, recover, and experience rest in a way that feels intentional and achievable. World Sleep Day is a powerful reminder of why this matters, and how Westin continues to lead with purpose." This World Sleep Day, as wellness-led travel and sleep tourism continue to grow, Westin hotels across the region are building upon these signature foundations with expert-led programs, cultural wellness practices, and immersive experiences that transform sleep from a nightly necessity into a holistic wellness journey. World Sleep Day 2026: Immersive Activations Across The Region At The Westin Manila, a MICHELIN Guide recognized hotel in the region, World Sleep Day anchors the hotel's first Wellness Weekend from March 13–15, 2026.

Each location is thoughtfully chosen to help guests switch off, slow down, and truly reset. Sleep Rituals Inspired by Place Beyond World Sleep Day, Westin's Sleep Well philosophy is woven into the fabric of its hotels through destination-inspired rituals that reflect local culture, nature, and tradition.

In Indonesia, at The Westin Nirup Island Resort & Spa, Batam, surrounded by lush greenery and the gentle rhythm of the sea, the Island Sleep Ritual transforms bedtime into a sensory journey with a restorative massage and the Nirup Scent collection - linen spray, scented candle, and reed diffuser crafted to reflect the peaceful spirit of the island. At The Westin Resort Nusa Dua, Bali, the Aspire Massage Ritual at Heavenly Spa gently releases tension, calms the mind, and restores balance - creating the ideal foundation for deeper, more restorative sleep.
