Comfort, health and convenience

Those staying in a luxury hotel expect more than a comfortable bed and a good breakfast. The modern hotel guest seeks an experience that combines relaxation and wellness. From elaborate spas to yoga sessions on the roof terrace - the hotel industry continues to innovate when it comes to wellness. Yet there is one element that is often overlooked: the power of a good massage, right at your fingertips.

According to Dessa Mineva, Manager at Komoder, massage chairs offer a unique opportunity to take relaxation to the next level. "A massage chair in the hotel room provides the most effective relaxation," says Mineva. "Guests don't have to make an appointment or go anywhere. They can enjoy a massage at any time of the day."

Relaxation on request

The hotel industry is responding to the growing need for relaxation. This applies not only to holidaymakers, but certainly also to business travellers. Long flights, intensive meetings and deadlines demand a lot from the body and mind.

"Business guests are often in meetings all day," Mineva says. "A massage helps release that built-up tension. It stimulates blood circulation and triggers the production of happiness hormones. That means less stress and a better night's sleep."

Wellness in the hotel room

A spa offers relaxation, but it is not always accessible. Guests have to sign up, set aside time and wait for their treatment. A massage chair removes those barriers. The chair is ready in the hotel room and immediately available.

More and more hotels are investing in wellness facilities that fit effortlessly into the room. A jacuzzi? You can, but it's pricey to maintain. A massage chair? That pays for itself faster and offers luxury that is immediately appreciated. "Within a year to a year and a half, hotels can recoup their investment," says Mineva. "Word of mouth plays a big role in this. Guests appreciate the extra relaxation and share their experience with others."

Innovation and personalisation

Komoder has several models to suit the needs of hotels. The Everest Flex is an accessible choice suitable for different body types. The Nova Duo offers customisable intensity, while the Veleta 2 and Titan are more luxurious options. For the truly high-end experience, there is even the Japanese brand D.Core, which combines craftsmanship with the latest massage technologies.

Technology in massage chairs continues to evolve. Think zero gravity functions, voice control and integrated music options. This ensures that relaxation is experienced optimally not only physically, but also mentally.

A low-threshold investment in guest satisfaction

For hotels unsure about the investment, Komoder offers a trial placement of two to three months. This gives hoteliers a chance to see how their guests react. "Hotels can thus test whether it really adds value," says Mineva. "It also gives the opportunity to collect direct feedback from guests."

What does practice show? Guests appreciate the extra luxury and consider a massage chair a valuable addition to their stay. A relaxed guest sleeps better, starts the day more energetically and returns home with a more positive experience.

The future of relaxation in hotels

The hotel industry is evolving and wellness is becoming increasingly important. Hotels that invest in innovative relaxation solutions stand out in the market. An in-room massage chair is not an unnecessary luxury, but a smart move in guest experience. It combines comfort, health and convenience - three factors that take the hotel experience to the next level.
