Problem
Travelers and local residents often need a hotel room or facility for only a few hours during the day—for rest, work, or wellness—but traditional hotel booking systems are geared toward overnight stays, making short daytime use impractical or uneconomical. There is a lack of a dedicated marketplace that connects users to hotels offering day-use services like rooms, spas, pools, or lunch breaks.
Solution
Siestify is a digital platform that connects users with professional hotel partners offering day-use services, including daytime rooms, day passes, pools, spas, workspaces, experiences, and overnight stays. The booking process is simplified: users search, select, and confirm a booking online, and payment is made directly at the hotel upon arrival, eliminating the need for a card during booking. The platform provides instant email confirmation with booking details and allows free cancellations up to two hours before the scheduled arrival, offering flexibility for users. The platform also features "Moments," user-generated video reviews of their experiences, which are reviewed by the Siestify team within 24 hours before publication.
Target Audience
Primary users are individuals seeking flexible daytime hotel services—such as business travelers needing a rest or workspace, tourists between flights, and local residents looking for a wellness break—in urban areas, particularly in France.
