Case study: Hypnos heads to the Channel Islands

Hand Picked Hotels has curated a Channel Islands-portfolio defined by thoughtful design and elevated comfort. At the centre of each guestroom sits a Hypnos bed – an essential design element shaping sleep quality, wellbeing, and the luxury experience…

Jersey shoreline

Across Alderney, Guernsey, and Jersey, Hand Picked Hotels showcases properties that pair distinctive local character with refined, contemporary design. While each hotel expresses its own identity, whether through materials, spatial flow, colour palettes, or architectural features, all share a commitment to guest comfort.

This is where the partnership with Hypnos, the British, family-run bedmaker with more than 120 years of craftsmanship, becomes an integral part of the design narrative. In each of the five Channel Islands properties, Hypnos beds have become a cornerstone of the spatial and sensory experience.

Alderney, Braye Beach Hotel

At Braye Beach Hotel, the serene coastal setting informs an interior concept focused on calm, softness, and natural tones. The 27 individually styled rooms extend this sense of stillness, with Hypnos beds offering a cocooning retreat after a day exploring Alderney’s rugged shoreline. The hotel’s dog-friendly philosophy also calls for durable, reliable room elements – another reason Hypnos remains a trusted partner.

Guernsey, Fermain Valley Hotel

Perched above a sweeping bay, Fermain Valley Hotel blends traditional refinement with a touch of escapism. The hotel’s signature Tree House Rooms elevate that feeling, using warm materials and organic textures to blur the line between indoors and out. Within each space, a Hypnos bed grounds the scheme – an anchor of luxury and ergonomic support that enhances the enveloping, treetop atmosphere.

Guernsey, St Pierre Park Hotel, Spa & Golf Resort

St Pierre Park’s design vision is shaped by balance: restorative wellness spaces paired with active leisure environments. After time spent at the award-winning spa or the hotel’s nine-hole golf course, guestrooms offer a gentle, calming retreat. Hypnos mattresses here play a functional and aesthetic role, supporting a sleep experience that aligns with the hotel’s wellbeing-focused design philosophy.

Jersey, Grand Jersey Hotel & Spa

Overlooking St Aubin’s Bay, Grand Jersey Hotel & Spa combines elegant design with the energy of its central location. Sleek lines, layered textures, and contemporary furnishings create a refined yet welcoming environment. In these rooms, the Hypnos bed becomes the design hero – visually understated yet central to the guest’s emotional and physical comfort.

Jersey, L’Horizon Beach Hotel & Spa

Inspired by the bright, open character of St Brelade’s Bay, L’Horizon Beach Hotel & Spa embraces a light, airy aesthetic. Natural light, coastal tones, and spacious layouts encourage guests to unwind. Here, Hypnos beds complement the design language perfectly, ensuring that the serene visual atmosphere is matched by deep, restorative rest.

A partnership built on trust

Andrew Coggings, General Manager of Grand Jersey Hotel & Spa and L’Horizon Beach Hotel & Spa, summarises the importance of Hypnos within the hotel group’s design ethos: “We chose Hypnos because they deliver consistent comfort and reliability across our portfolio. For us, it’s about more than just a bed. It’s a key part of the guest experience. Every visitor expects a truly restful night’s sleep after a day exploring the island or enjoying our culinary and wellness offerings.”

“Hypnos shares our values of authenticity, craftsmanship, and understated quality, which means our guests can always trust that their stay will be comfortable, elegant, and perfectly in tune with the unique character of the Channel Islands.”

This alignment in values – craftsmanship, integrity, timeless quality – makes Hypnos a natural fit for hotels that prioritise experiential luxury and design cohesion.
