There’s a lot of talk about dwindling oil and water supplies, but the world’s most precious commodity must surely be…a good night’s sleep. When you go away on business or holidays you always hope that your hotel room – and bed - will be the kind of sanctuary where you can collect on a few of the many sleep hour credits you’re owed.

Meet four Australian hotels that take your dream of a great night’s sleep just as seriously as you do.

Sofitel Sydney Wentworth – wake up with George Clooney

You’ll be very tempted to stay indoors all day at the Sofitel Sydney Wentworth. The luxurious rooms offer plush king beds, feather down duvets, bathrooms with French bath amenities and wonderful views of the garden or courtyard.

After a serene night’s sleep, you can bask in bed-head demeanor on the ottoman lounge, sipping exotic coffee blends brewed in your Nespresso machine while a few easy-like-Sunday-morning tunes waft from the Bose sound system.

The Hotel Windsor, Melbourne – pillow heaven

Not only do the The Hotel Windsor sympathise with the needs of weary travellers, they’ve gone out of their way to do something magical for them by creating a blissful pillow menu that offers 10 different styles of designer cranium cushions.

Amongst the selection are dreamy aromatherapy pillows, waterproof pillows (for that pre-bed bath) and anti-snore pillows for the ‘expressive’ sleeper. There are also feather light fluffy down versions with small balls - perfect if you suffer from allergies - and others to assist your posture and back.

Marriott Hotel Brisbane – ‘revive’ bedding

When God created sleep she must have had the Marriott Hotel Brisbane in mind.

To slip into a mood more comfortable, enjoy an afternoon massage, facial and foot bath at the Dome Retreat, and then follow it up with a decadent champagne high tea at the M Bar.

If you can stay awake until dinner time, try the wonderful on-site Motion Bar and Grill.  However, if you can barely make it to siesta o’clock,  it’s comforting to know that a heavenly Marriott Revive bed, finished with three-inch foam cushioning toppers, 300-thread-count sheets and six billowy pillows is waiting for you in your room.

Egremont Bed and Breakfast Launceston – home, sweet home

There’s nothing like the peace, quiet and fresh air of a holiday retreat far away from big smoke sensory overload to shift down a few gears. The all-too-rare Egremont Bed and Breakfast Launceston is exactly the kind of place to make it happen.

From the beautiful heritage timber finishes throughout the interior to the lush and blossoming gardens, it’s the ideal spot to cuddle up with a good sort for the weekend - or even a good book in the reading room.

A nice little homely touch in the evenings is the complementary cakes and port before it’s time to retire to your queen sized bed with a choice of pillow types. And in the morning, waking up to the aroma of home cooked breakfasts crackling away in the kitchen ready to be served up in the sunny-filled art nouveau dining room.
