Staycation

Staycation is a Paris-based booking platform that sells short hotel escapes in the customer's own city rather than long-distance travel. Through its website and mobile app, members book curated stays at handpicked 4-star boutique hotels and iconic palaces for 24 hours, 48 hours, or just a few hours, with add-ons that let guests personalize each experience and extras such as welcome kits, limited-time discounts and surprises. The company operates as a French simplified joint-stock company and provides an online platform for booking accommodation services, partnering with hotels that supply the inventory and experiences. Staycation reports more than 4 million users worldwide, over 2,500 handpicked experiences, a 9.3/10 satisfaction score, and more than 1.7 million app downloads. The concept - a getaway without jet lag, positioned as a way to revive local economies and turn hotels into an urban playground for city residents - has been covered widely in the French press.
