Across the globe, we’re adjusting to a new reality. Socially distancing ourselves from loved ones and adapting to new routines, even if temporary, can be incredibly challenging.

While our hotels remain closed to protect guests, staff and those most vulnerable in our community, we wanted to take this opportunity to send you a digital care package.

Below you’ll find a mixture of things we’ve curated, created, or just found helpful. We hope that, in some small way, it may help improve your mental wellbeing and show you how to stay better connected with friends and family.

Stay relaxed.

Disable your notifications, grab your headphones and enjoy 2 hours of relaxing music.
