Hilton And Calm Tap Paige DeSorbo To Voice First Sleep Story Recorded Inside A Hotel Suite

Guests seeking deeper rest may soon find it with a little help from Paige DeSorbo, Hilton and Calm, thanks to a new Sleep Story recorded inside one of New Yorks most famous hotel suites.

The fashion and lifestyle creator has partnered with Hilton and wellness platform Calm on “Sweet Dreams at Waldorf Astoria New York,” the first Calm Sleep Story produced in a hotel setting.

The collaboration centers on the newly renovated Waldorf Astoria New York, whose restored Art Deco interiors provide the backdrop for a guided bedtime journey narrated by DeSorbo. The story traces a quiet evening inside the storied property — from arrival on Park Avenue to settling beneath crisp white Frette sheets — mirroring the unhurried rituals that Hilton aims to encourage throughout its luxury portfolio.

“Sleep has always been my love language,” said DeSorbo. “Recording at Waldorf Astoria New York felt like the ultimate girls night-in: robe, skyline, and complete calm. If this Calm Sleep Story encourages anyone to go to bed earlier, Im all for it.”

DeSorbo, known for blending fashion, wellness and humor for more than 1.6 million followers, has become a defining figure in the “soft life” movement that pairs comfort with modern luxury. Her new loungewear line, Daphne, reflects that same focus on rest-as-self-care — a quality that made her a natural fit for Hiltons vision of sleep as a central feature of the guest experience.

Hilton said the storys release aligns with a shift in traveler priorities. According to the companys global research, respondents number one motivation to travel for leisure in 2026 is “to rest and recharge” (56%), reinforcing demand for wellness-oriented experiences across hotel stays. The debut also expands Hiltons partnership with Calm, which enables guests to access Calms Sleep Stories, meditations and soundscapes directly through in-room televisions without a subscription.

“At Hilton, we see rest as an essential part of luxury,” said Amanda Al-Masri, vice president, wellness, Hilton. “Through our partnership with Calm, were helping guests embrace The Stay as a restorative experience by creating rituals for relaxation and renewal, whether through a Sleep Story escape at Waldorf Astoria New York or a quiet moment before bed at any of our hotels around the world.”

The Sleep Story also highlights the significance of Waldorf Astoria New York, a longtime cultural fixture currently in the final stages of a meticulous restoration that preserves the buildings scale and Art Deco architecture while reimagining its interiors for a new era.

“Sleep is truly a superpower,” said Greg Justice, chief content officer, Calm. “Thats why were always keen to craft wondrous Sleep Stories that delight listeners and help them find their best rest. With Paige DeSorbos signature wit and the timeless elegance of Waldorf Astoria New York, this first-of-its-kind story offers a dreamy escape into the perfect night in.”
