Relais du Silence

I just came across a hotel group - Relais du Silence or Silencehotel. It's interesting to know there are hotels who understand silence. Use it as a service offer.

I feel there is too much noise in our lives. We need silence. I need short silence daily ( 5 to 30 mins ). I spend some time to myself daily. Either I meditate or just keep quiet. It is kind of refreshing for me.

Wonder if Relais du Silence offer meditation?
