Electromagnetic hypersensitivity – radiation-free hotel rooms and digital detox

No matter if televisions, radio masts, Wi-Fi routers, or smartphones – we are constantly surrounded by electromagnetic radiation. Some people feel this radiation, which is referred to as electromagnetic hypersensitivity. Although, no scientific evidences have been found so far that radiation levels in our everyday life impact the health, electromagnetic sensitive people are particularly vulnerable to radiation and may even show symptoms such as headaches, sickness, and sleep disorders. For electromagnetic sensitive people – and for everyone longing for digital fasting – some hotels deal with the topic of electromagnetic hypersensitivity. We introduce you to the best accommodations for radiation-free sleep and digital detox.

Sleep undisturbed in Paris

In large cities like Paris, radiation and electromagnetic fields are massive. In the shadow of the Eiffel Tower, the Hôtel Le Pavillon offers you the most relaxing sleep in the middle of the city – because electromagnetic sensitivity is of a high priority here. By using an bio-technology, the electric smog is balanced inside the hotel. Moreover, there are three rooms that are specially furnished for electromagnetic sensitive guests. Various techniques for radiation protection have been implemented: specially shielding black wall paint, grounding straps inside the walls, and radiation-repellent windows. Since the nearby Eiffel Tower generates and bundles radiation additionally, these windows are very important. On top, you will find osteopathic, anti-static, and electrically neutral mattresses in the rooms for an even better sleep. Who would not like to dream about the experienced adventures in the city of love here?
