AND HOW WE SLEEP
A TABLE FOR REST
One evening - not long ago - in the heart of Copenhagen, within our studio on Bredgade, twenty guests from LVMH / Belmond’s leadership team gathered around a long, candlelit table. Together with our friend, chef Frederik Bille Brahe, we designed a menu rooted in the philosophy that what we eat shapes how we sleep.
Each dish was composed to calm both body and mind, with late-summer tomatoes and plums offering a touch of natural melatonin, pistachios rich in sleep-promoting nutrients, and almonds and mushrooms providing grounding minerals such as magnesium.
As the meal unfolded, conversation turned to the art of rest. I spoke of the beginnings of The Beauty Sleeper - how a simple silk sleep mask, born from my own search for stillness, evolved into a world dedicated to the rituals of sleep.

WHY OUR SILK SLEEP MASK SHOULD BE PART OF YOUR EVERY NIGHT
Many people think sleep masks are only for travel or special occasions, but using a silk sleep mask every night can truly transform your sleep quality and enhance your overall well-being. Plus, research shows it can even improve brain function.
Here’s why our luxurious silk sleep mask should be part of your nightly routine:
1. IMPROVE YOUR SLEEP QUALITY WITH A SILK SLEEP MASK
Our silk sleep mask is designed to help you achieve deeper, uninterrupted sleep by completely blocking out disruptive light.

Why We Struggle to Sleep in New Places
Have you ever found yourself in a beautiful hotel room or a friend’s guest bed - utterly exhausted after a long day of travel or adventure - and yet completely unable to fall asleep?
Just a couple of weeks ago, I spent four nights on the breathtaking Croatian coastline with one of my closest childhood friends. We stayed in her father-in-law’s lovely apartment, perched above the sea, with views of scattered islands and the most majestic, grounding mountains.
That first night, I was deeply tired from the journey, from swimming in the blue sea, from hours of chatting away with my friend; my body was begging for rest. And yet, my mind simply wouldn’t switch off.
It’s something I’ve experienced time and again, even in the most calming and luxurious hotels. No matter how safe, happy or content I feel, the first night always seems to hold me at arm’s length from sleep.
