The Timeshifter app stands out as the most downloaded and highest-rated jet lag app globally, developed in collaboration with top scientists in sleep and circadian neuroscience. For guests of InterContinental Hotels & Resorts, this means access to a science-backed method to adjust swiftly to new time zones, based on their sleep patterns, chronotype, itinerary, and personal preferences.

Today, as part of IHG Hotels & Resorts' Luxury & Lifestyle portfolio, InterContinental continues to build on its heritage, embracing innovation to meet the needs of contemporary travelers.

The effectiveness of Timeshifter is well-documented, with ~130,000 post-flight surveys indicating that 96.4% of travelers following the app's advice experienced minimal jet lag. The app has garnered several accolades, including awards from the National Sleep Foundation and Health Magazine, emphasizing its role in transforming travel experiences.

Mickey Beyer-Clausen, Co-founder & CEO of Timeshifter, shared his excitement about the partnership, emphasizing its potential to redefine travel experiences. "We're thrilled to partner with InterContinental Hotels & Resorts, bringing our science-based jet lag solution to guests worldwide, ensuring they arrive refreshed and ready to enjoy their journey," he said.

Currently available in InterContinental properties across ten countries, including New York, France, and Singapore, the global rollout will continue into 2024, making Timeshifter accessible to guests of over 200 hotels in more than 70 countries. This partnership marks a significant step towards enhancing the global travel experience, allowing guests to transition seamlessly across time zones and embrace the joys of travel without the drawbacks of jet lag.
