Staying in a noisy hotel isn\u2019t fun and most of us will have experienced how unpleasant it is at some point in our lives. Now it looks like some of the biggest hotel operators are striving to make noise from corridors a thing of the past with a new solution they hope will radically reduce cut down noise levels. <\/p>\n
While this new \u2018solution\u2019 to the noise problem in some hotel corridors hasn\u2019t been introduced into the UK, Holiday Inn have launched a special sliding internal door which it hopes will make life a little more peaceful for its guests in the US. <\/p>\n
Unfortunately it didn\u2019t include this extra piece of soundproofing in the first four of its UK hotels with new look rooms in January of this year. The door has been unsurprisingly named \u2018the acoustic door\u2019 and is placed at room entrances which separate bedroom and living areas from the corridors. <\/p>\n
Disappointingly for people who like peace and quiet in the UK and Europe, IHG, the company that owns Holiday have said they have no plans to install their acoustic doors in any new or renovated rooms in Europe according to reports. <\/p>\n
Instead they hope that guests will be content with \u2018padded noise reducing headboards\u2019 although it is difficult to see how a padded headboard will do anything to reduce noise from noisy corridors. <\/p>\n
Other chains currently looking into innovative ways to tackle the effects of noise include Hyatt, Marriott, and Ritz Carlton. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
