Notch is a screen-free, all-inclusive 24 hour stay to disconnect and refresh.
A timed lockbox holds it for the full stay. No calls, no notifications, no photos — just your stay.
Meals, activities, and everything in the room are already accounted for. You show up, and the day is built for you from there.
Twenty-four hours is short enough to actually log off, and long enough to notice what changes when the screen isn't there.
One day. One room. No screens.
We're in our pilot phase now, and looking for participants who want real time away from their devices.
That's NOTCH.
Puzzles, brainteasers, and crafting supplies — the kind of focus that used to belong to your phone.
Novels, journals, sketchpads, and writing prompts, for whatever you feel like putting down on paper.
A record player and a small stack of records — music that asks you to sit with it, side by side.
Yes. At check-in, your phone goes into a timed lock case. After 24 hours, the case will auto-release.
Staff are reachable at all times during your stay, and we will provide an emergency number. If your loved ones need to reach you, staff will immediately alert you. If there is an emergency in your room, you will have an alert button and analog phone to reach help immediately.
Possibly, in other rooms. But there's no shared schedule or group activity — your room and your 24 hours are entirely your own.
Yes. Rooms are built for one or two guests, and booking as a pair means the full day — meals, activities, everything — is shared.
No. Notch is for rest and disconnection, not clinical treatment. It is not a substitute for therapy.
Exactly 24 hours, door to door. Your check-in time becomes your check-out time the next day.
Yes.
No.
Staff will return it to you upon request, but this will end your stay.
There is no confinement of any kind. You will not be locked in your room or the hotel, nor do you have to remain there for the entire stay. You can bring anything you want with you, except your phone or other screens. We also hope the food is better.
Yes. All meals are part of the stay, along with the activities and amenities already set up in the room — nothing extra to order, plan, or bring.
Final pricing depends on the property and will be confirmed before the pilot opens.
