A new travel technology company called HotelsByDay wants to offer a new option for those looking for a place to work or unwind during their trips, when they don’t need to book a full overnight stay at a hotel. As you may have guessed by the name, the company is attempting to break open a new category in lodging: hotel rooms you can book by the day, for roughly 40% less than the nightly rate.
The service is available now on mobile, with apps for iOS and Android, allowing travelers to access rooms in around 40 hotels, mainly in New York and Chicago to start. However, there are 60 other hotels that are already committed to bring their properties on board in the near future. The service is also adding on other cities, too, including Philadelphia this week, and in March, Miami, L.A., Boston and Atlanta.
Says co-founder and CEO Yannis Moati, the goal is to offer around 120 hotels via the app over the course of the next three months.
Moati, a former tour operator, came up with the idea for HotelsByDay, after coming across a similar, but low-tech model being used in parts of Europe to sell unused inventory. He co-founded the company in June of last year along with entrepreneur Nathan Stevenson, and booking engine expert Brian Dass, who earlier founded online hospitality marketing firms Timeless Hospitality (acquired by TravelClick) and Open Hospitality (acquired by Pegasus Solutions).
The HotelsByDay mobile apps themselves are designed to be simple to use
