ROCKVILLE, MD—Traveler preferences have evolved, with more than half of today’s leisure travelers prioritizing easy access to walking trails and wellness activities as a top amenity they consider when selecting lodging accommodations. In recognition of this—and its longstanding commitment to help guests maintain holistic wellbeing on the road—the Sleep Inn brand, known for its serene, nature-inspired design and proximity to top outdoor destinations, has teamed with AllTrails to make it easier than ever for adventure-seeking travelers to connect with nature.
As part of the new collaboration with the world’s largest and most trusted outdoor app, Sleep Inn guests at participating Sleep Inn hotels will be able to scan a QR code in the lobby to access a list of nearby trails curated by AllTrails that guests can easily access during their stay. Guests may also browse AllTrails’ extensive library of more than 750,000+ miles of hiking, biking and running trails available to them, and enjoy the perks of AllTrails’ premium offering, AllTrails+, which includes the ability to download maps for offline use, view immersive trail previews and more—for free for one month.
“Today’s modern guests know it’s not just about getting from Point A to Point B, equally important is uncovering new opportunities to engage all five senses along the way. It’s why every Sleep Inn hotel is thoughtfully designed to serve as a stylish sanctuary, so guests can unwind easily and wake up rested to fully enjoy the travel experiences that matter most,” said Cathy Hartman, Vice President, Brand Strategy, Choice Hotels. “It’s also why we’re committed to teaming with brands that share our dedication to empowering guests to live—and explore—better. Whether a seasoned adventurer looking for a new experience off-the-beaten path, or a road warrior wanting to reconnect with nature after a long travel day, our collaboration with AllTrails ensures Sleep Inn guests can maximize their travel experience and explore each destination with ease.”
