In celebration of National New York Day on September 21 and inspired by the rising silent travel trend, where travelers seek a true disconnect from the noise of urban life, Kixby Hotel in Midtown Manhattan is debuting Silent Retreat, a new stay experience built for slowing down and reconnecting inward.
New York is known for its energy, movement, and hustle. Silent Retreat offers the opposite: a rare, quiet side of the city, designed as an antidote to the bustle of Midtown Manhattan. The experience is available in Kixby's One-Bedroom Suite, with travel dates open now through September.
Guests can embrace the quiet with:
- Silent Screen Stay From check-in to checkout, your suite becomes a refuge from the constant scroll: a place to unplug from social media and reconnect with yourself. Every guest receives a personal Unpluq tag to support the digital detox, theirs to keep after the stay.
- Journaling & Reflection Rituals In partnership with journaling brand Intelligent Change, guests receive a personal Five Minute Journal to document moments of quiet reflection throughout their stay.
- Mindful Strolls Curated walking routes through nearby parks and green spaces invite guests to disconnect from their devices, with their Unpluq tag on hand, and experience the city more intentionally.
- Sunrise Moment A private, self-guided sunrise affirmation ritual, guided by Intelligent Change's Mindful Affirmations.
- Sleep Sanctuary Wind down with a curated sleep ritual featuring a Kitsch silk eye mask, for a sense of calm and deeper, more restorative rest.
