GENERAL INFORMATION
Accommodation
From sea level to 5000 metres, we are the first and only hotel in the UK designed for elite athletes. 44 twin en-suite rooms, including 20 unique altitude bedrooms, allow you to sleep high and train low. Whether in preparation for competition, building performance and fitness, or recovering from injury, there are multiple benefits to sleeping at altitude.
The hotel's simulated altitude system goes from sea level to 5000m (Everest base camp) allowing you to sleep high and train low.
Athletes have long been aware of the benefits of sleeping at altitude which, when incorporated in to your training routine, can have significant performance gains.
It takes approximately 70 minutes for the room to come up to 2000m altitude and 240 minutes to come up to 5000m. This can be pre-programmed on a timer so that your room is at the desired altitude for your arrival.
