Step out to the hotel
Experiences to enjoy in the most beautiful hotels around you: for 24 hours, 48 hours, or just a few hours. Hotels are often underestimated, even overlooked, by city residents. Yet, under their roofs, you’ll find the most stunning spas, some of the finest restaurants, dream-worthy bedding, breathtaking views, and interiors that break from the ordinary.
Staycation was born from this realization, with one goal: to make hotels the new go-to city spots, just like the classic trio of cinema, exhibitions, and restaurants.
Today, Staycation means:
- 3.5 million users (with an average age of 30)
- 2,000+ partner hotels (4-5 stars and luxury destinations)
- Experiences rated an average of 9.3/10 by our users
Joining Staycation means becoming part of a team passionate about reimagining the future of hospitality and urban living.
