In today’s fast-paced world, where sleep is often a luxury (a third of Americans report getting less than 7 hours per night), many travelers are trading sightseeing for something much more indulgent—sleep. Enter the “nap-cation,” a growing trend where travelers seek out hotels with sleep-focused amenities, often paying a premium to prioritize rest and relaxation. Here are five dreamy destinations for the ultimate nap-cation.
