Inside ModernHaus SoHo's Deep Sleep Suite And Luxurious Turndown Menu
Inside ModernHaus Soho's the ultimate rest-centric escape, the Deep Sleep Suite.

When the sun stays out past 8 p.m on the Summer Solstice, so do we – dining later, staying out longer, and sleeping less. It may feel like the start of summer fun, but longer days and lingering light can also confuse our body's sleep cues, leaving us struggling to wind down.
MonderHaus SoHo, a luxury boutique hotel nestled in downtown New York, offers an unexpected antidote to the city's nonstop pace: a Deep Sleep Suite and curated Deep Sleep Turndown Menu designed to quiet the mind and deliver real rest, even in the heart of Manhattan.
The Hastens is a must-have for any luxurious sleep tourism offering.

Launched in partnership with heritage mattress brand Hästens and Helight Sleep, a NASA-inspired red light sleep device, the Deep Sleep Suite marks a new chapter in what the hospitality world is calling sleep tourism – an emerging travel trend focused on restoration rather than stimulation.
'We see guests who place a premium on wellness and performance,' says Tyler Cathcart, Hotel Manager at ModernHaus SoHo. 'These are often high-achieving individuals – executives, creatives, and entrepreneurs – who live fast-paced lives, in a state of overstimulation or burnout, [who] recognize the value of quality sleep as a pillar of their overall well-being.'
Located in the penthouse-level Gallery Suite, the Deep Sleep Suite includes a Hästens bed, often dubbed the 'Rolls Royce of mattresses,' along with a Helight Sleep device that mimics the fading glow of a sunset with a specific 630 nanometer wavelength, promoting melatonin production naturally, without pills or apps.
Guests also receive a VIP sleep calibration at the Haästens Sleep Spa, with roundtrip transportation in a Hästens-branded care and take-home items like mouth tape and a face roller from The Skinny Confidential. As part of their regular stay, ModernHaus offers all guests access to its Deep Sleep Turndown Menu, which includes Helight Sleep usage as well as sleep-friendly services, food, and beverages, including calming teas.
ModernHaus is collaborating with Helight to incorporate red light therapy into its Turndown Menu.

Red light therapy may be trending, but it's grounded in real science. 'Longer summer days are beautiful, but can be biologically confusing,' says Denise De Baun, CEO of Helight USA. 'They throw off melatonin timing, delay sleep onset, and disrupt cues critical for restful sleep.'
Helight Sleep is designed to counter these seasonal imbalances by mimicking nature's sleep signals, like the setting sun, with precision. 'With daily use, it can help restore your circadian balance, so you can fall asleep faster, stay asleep longer, and wake up truly rested – even in the peak of summer,' De Baun adds.
Cathcart believes the Deep Sleep Suite challenges traditional assumptions about urban hotels. 'One of the most common misconceptions, especially in vibrant urban destinations like SoHo, is that hotels are designed purely for stimulation: a place to drop your bags before heading out to eat, explore, and socialize,' he says. 'While that energy is certainly part of the appeal, what's often overlooked is the potential for a hotel stay to be intentionally restorative.'
Hastens signature checkered blue adorns the suite.

Sleep tourism, once a fringe wellness niche, is increasingly central to hospitality. For Helight, ModernHaus SoHo marks one of the first of many hotel integrations.
'We [are] actively in conversations with a number of hospitality groups to integrate Helight Sleep into their guest experience. ModernHaus stood out for their deep commitment to luxury, thoughtful design, and guest well-being,' says De Baun.
The Turndown Menu includes the Helight Sleep device to support natural sleep rhythms.

In an age of 24/7 connectivity and wellness-as-status, the pursuit of deep rest is no longer seen as indulgent, but essential. 'We've created a suite where every detail, from the lighting to the scent profile to the curated pre-sleep rituals invites deep rest,' says Cathart. 'We are trying to offer an experience that goes beyond plush bedding or blackout curtains. This is a holistic sleep environment grounded in wellness.'
Whether you're a jet-lagged traveler, a burnt out New Yorker, or simply someone who sleeps best in five-star sheets, the message is clear: better rest isn't a luxury, it's a necessity. And ModernHaus is betting that its summer guests will come for the city views, but stay for the sleep.

Olympic Gymnast Suni Lee Turns Heads With 'Gorgeous' Swimsuit Photo
Olympic Gymnast Suni Lee Turns Heads With 'Gorgeous' Swimsuit Photo originally appeared on The Spun. The 2025 rookie class for Sports Illustrated Swimsuit featured a handful of notable athletes, including Olympic gymnast Suni Lee. Lee rose to stardom during the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, winning a gold medal in the individual all-around event. She was also part of the "Golden Girls" that won gold for the team all-around at the 2024 Paris Olympics. Well before Lee's rookie photoshoot was released, SI Swimsuit editor-in-chief MJ Day said her team was looking for athletes who "defy stereotypes and champion equality, inspiring young girls to envision themselves as both athletes and leaders." There's no question Lee fits that description. Throughout her gymnastics career, Lee has dealt with comments about her body. She hasn't allowed that to slow her down or shake her confidence. "Gymnastics has definitely impacted my body image," Lee said. "We have to wear skin-tight leotards. There are so many critics online, but I'm always going to be my biggest critic, so whenever you read things, it just kind of makes you overthink. But I just had to learn that my body is my temple and I wouldn't be able to do what I have to do without it." As for Lee's rookie photoshoot with SI Swimsuit, let's just say it was a huge hit. Lee shared a few swimsuit photos from her time in Boca Raton on Instagram. Most of her fans complimented her appearance. "So naturally beautiful," one person commented. "Absolutely beautiful," another person said. "You're gorgeous," an Instagram user wrote. Lee has quickly become a star in the modeling industry. Last year, she went viral several times during New York Fashion Week. "I'm so grateful to all the brands and designers who hosted me this season. It definitely lived up to the hype," the 2021 Female Athlete of the Year told Vogue. Suffice to say, it won't be long before Lee has everyone's attention once Gymnast Suni Lee Turns Heads With 'Gorgeous' Swimsuit Photo first appeared on The Spun on Jun 21, 2025 This story was originally reported by The Spun on Jun 21, 2025, where it first appeared.

Victor Wembanyama opens up on kung fu training with monks in China, loss of Gregg Popovich as coach
NEW YORK — Just your average Saturday in Midtown Manhattan, where Victor Wembanyama and Kevin Hart lounged shirtless in water-filled metal tubs, designed specifically for their body lengths, with the comedian asking the budding NBA superstar about working out with monks for two weeks in China. Yes, that's a lot to take in. Advertisement The 21-year-old San Antonio Spurs center participated in two heavily attended events during Saturday's session of Fanatics Fest at Javits Center. First, Wembanyama bathed beside Hart for an episode of the comedian's podcast 'Cold as Balls' and followed up by sitting in 'The Shop' with LeBron James, Tom Brady and streamer Kai Cenat. Each setting brought out relaxed conversations, as well as some interesting questions from Hart and 'The Shop' panel to Wembanyama. Both forums focused on the curiosity about Wembanyama's trip to China. He tried to be casual about it with 'The Shop,' saying, 'I was just in China the last two weeks practicing with the monks.' Many in the panel from 'The Shop' chimed in, not letting the 'oh, by the way' answer slide, including Brady, who said, 'We've got to hear more on that.' Wembanyama laughed and obliged. He visited the Shaolin Temple in Dengfeng, China, along with a member of the Spurs' strength training staff. 'It was a great experience,' Wembanyama said. 'My goal going there was putting my body through things that it's not used to doing and allowing my range of movement and strength. This was probably as very different as possible from what I'm used to doing.' What did that entail? 'Kung fu. Everyday. It was like a vegan temple, monastery. … I was isolated,' Wembanyama said. He added that many of the meals consisted of zucchini and rice noodles. That meant sneaking out to eat some sort of meat to maintain his weight, which he told Hart is up to 245 pounds. The most notable physical change from the trip for Wembanyama is his hairstyle. The first thing the monks asked Wembanyama to do was to shave his head. He did so without hesitation. 'I'm pretty sure I'm Buddhist now,' Wembanyama joked. 'It was worth it.' Wembanyama didn't discuss his injury status after a blood clot in his right shoulder ended his 2024-25 season in February. It's expected he'll be ready for the start of this upcoming season, though. Advertisement It's also the first time Wembanyama has spoken publicly about Gregg Popovich leaving the bench as the Spurs' coach. Wembanyama admitted he was shocked when Popovich stepped down in early May after 29 seasons as the team's mentor. He moved to a front office position with Mitch Johnson taking over Popovich's former role. 'First of all, the person,' Wembanyama said. 'We were all really close. We all have really good relationships between the teammates and him. It's always sad and shocking when something like this happens. What's incredible with him is that he keeps giving hope being the person that he is. He keeps inspiring us. Because the way he works, he works harder than most athletes in the world.' Maybe it was random for Hart to ask Wembanyama if he's a big Kevin Durant fan, to which the Spurs center replied, 'That's right.' Or maybe it wasn't, given the Spurs rank among the top teams that the Suns forward, who turns 37 in September, would prefer to be traded to before next season. Wembanyama said Durant's game has inspired him all of his life, but Hart and Wembanyama stopped short of a sales pitch to keep the conversation tamper-free.
