We are used to going to a hotel on exceptional occasions and when travelling, but what we don’t realise is that we have the best hotels in our city, just out there at our disposal for any normal day. In hotels, we can not only find cosy beds, but we also have different facilities and services which you can enjoy without limitations with the BYHOURS microstates, and what better way than sharing them with your partner?

 If you are from Colombia, this is your article, some of the best hotels in Bogota and Cartagena, where you will lose track of time.

Multiple quality experiences in hotels: 

Bogotá Plaza Hotel

That is one of our favourite hotels in Bogotá because of its spa on the 5th floor. With the slogan “Our Warmth Stays in You”, this hotel offers in its facilities aquatic therapies, different facial and body treatments, and massages with which you will spend an unforgettable afternoon with your partner. 

DoubleTree By Hilton

With the best views of Bogota, the DoubleTree also offers a full range of relaxation facilities. Among its spa services, the hotel offers a special treatment for couples in which you will be able to connect more deeply with your favourite person. After having gone through the water circuits, sauna, Turkish bath, and heated pool, some chocolate strawberries and half a bottle of wine await you in the room to complete your date.

Centro Hotel by Prima Collection

Apart from the excellent services, this hotel stands out in Cartagena for its location. Perfect for a getaway with your partner. Located in the centre of the historic centre of Cartagena de Indias, it is an ideal place to get to know the culture and get to know it a little better. 

After an afternoon on the city streets, relaxing for a few hours in a hotel is necessary. The Centro Hotel by Prima Collection is a safe bet. In addition, they currently offer a bottle of wine so you can surprise your loved ones.

Boutique Hotel Casa del Coliseo

Very close to the Plaza Santo Domingo in Cartagena, we also find this beautiful hotel that blends in with the city. It is perfect for enjoying a few hours as a couple, as the decoration and the romantic atmosphere surrounding the facilities make it very intimate. One of the hotel’s most special corners is its terrace next to the swimming pool; perfect for a drink before dining in the city centre.

So much for our recommendations of hotels for couples in Colombia. If you want more or need to surprise your partner in another destination, take a look at the romantic plans section of the blog (thank me later ;)! 

Apart from the great tourist attractions and food, Italy hides unique places in every city. At BYHOURS we love this country because it is a safe bet for improvised escapes. Here we leave you our perfect combinations to discover the best cities in Italy with our microstays: 

Rome

All the historical monuments are a MUST, but our favourite and the lesser-known spot is Aventine Keyhole. It’s a small viewpoint situated just a few minutes from the centre. Through the keyhole of the Knights of Malta property, you can see St. Peter’s Basilica. It’s located between the residential neighbourhood of Testaccio and the Circus Maximus and is one of our favourite free attractions. 

To round off the day by wandering the historic streets of Vatican City or discovering the historical centre, the NH Collection Roma Palazzo Cinquecento hotel is the best choice for a 24-hour package and a pleasant stay. 

Florence

This city could not be missing from our list since, even if it was only for five years, in 1.865, Florence was the capital of Italy. Our favourite spot is the Bardini Gardens, located near the Boboli Gardens of the Pitti Palace but with the advantage of being less frequented. The Bardini has no more and no less than four hectares of woods, cypress trees, gardens, and fruit orchards, where you can take a romantic stroll with your partner. Speaking of romanticism, the Hotel Cellai Florence is one of those that follow this aesthetic and, takes care of all the details of its facilities. How about taking a break with the 3-hour package and having a glass of wine on the terrace?

Venice

We’ll never tire of admiring the charm of the flooded streets of the city of Venice. The perfect plan is to get lost in its lanes and canals. That’s how, we found La Scala Contarini del Bovolo, one of the most beautiful and best-preserved Renaissance staircases in Venice. Beautiful, isn’t it? At the foot of the canals, there is also a hotel with privileged views, the Hotel Canal Grande. Having breakfast on its terrace overlooking the canal, watching the gondolas go by, is something you have to enjoy once in a lifetime (at least).

Verona

In the north of Italy, we find the famous city of Romeo and Juliet, where you can breathe a medieval and romantic atmosphere in every corner. In Verona, unlike the other cities, we’d like to propose a plan that may seem very typical but is still something: a visit to Juliet’s house. We love its walls full of letters and love notes. Make your wish, honour your love, and who knows, maybe you’ll find a letter from your secret lover among the multitude of declarations. After enjoying the sunset from the Arena di Verona, we recommend the Montresor Hotel Palace, one of the most central yet comfortable hotels to rest after a long day.

Milan

With BYHOURS you can experience Milan differently. We introduce you to The Corner Duomo Hotel where spending 24 hours will be an unforgettable experience. Located 0.7 km from the luxury shopping street Via Monte Napoleone. Set within walking distance of the Piazza del Duomo and with panoramic views. The “jewel in the crown” of this hotel are its two Suites with an in-room spa and a round bed. Perfect to rest, unwind and relax after a day of shopping in the city centre.

We understand, a 3-hour package doesn’t seem like much, but this hotel deserves all 24 hours to enjoy it to the fullest.

If you are looking forward to discovering more different plans, we recommend you to check our blog plans in your city. We look forward to seeing you in our next blog post!

Just three simple steps away from enjoying microstays like never before.

This year we have had to learn that what really matters at Christmas is being able to be with the ones we love the most and that the best gift is to share quality time together. At BYHOURS we have the ideal gift that does just that: the key to more than 4000 hotels all over the world so that you can enjoy a few hours to switch off with that special person. How? Giving the gift of microstays in top hotels.

The perfect gift is to choose your favourite hotel.

Re-engage with the person you love the most by giving a unique experience to enjoy and create memorable memories.

All you need to do is choose a destination, a date, select that hotel you always wanted to sneak in or the one you love, pick a time to check-in and let’s enjoy the chillaxing time!

And remember, it’s not just about enjoying a few hours of relaxation, but also about living the full experience by accessing all the facilities and services offered by the best hotels. For example sports installations, spas, swimming pools, rooftop terraces with the best views or restaurants of the highest quality.

Here are some of the top hotels that you can access with BYHOURS and live an unforgettable experience:

Hotel W, Barcelona.

Right on the seafront and with the best views of Barcelona, this hotel is the favourite place for many to enjoy a unique experience. In addition to its incredible location, it’s also renowned for its high-quality services. Enjoy a few hours of disconnection in the spa or in the different restaurants, where you will be able to choose from a wide gastronomic offer of the best quality.

Hotel Oraina, Berlín.

Despite being a great luxury hotel in the city, its interiors captivate everyone, making your stay a unique and different experience. This hotel is one of our favourites as it’s very famous for the concerts that the famous jazz pianist Matti Klein organises inside. Sounds great, doesn’t it?

Bogotá Plaza Hotel.

In the centre of Bogotá located in one of the best areas of the city, this hotel stands out for the great importance it gives to the comfort and relaxation of its guests so that they can disconnect from daily stress. On its fifth floor, they have an oasis where you will find a gym, a variety of renewing water therapies, spa treatments, facials and body massages.

Finally, if you want to upgrade your gift with some plans in your city and enjoy an amazing day, we recommend this post in which we compile the best activities hidden in your city.

Sometimes we forget that we have real treasures right next to our homes. It seems unbelievable, but on many occasions, tourists have seen and known more of our city than we ourselves have. In BYHOURS we want your favourite plan to be to enjoy your city, so here are some plans that you can do without going too far when you have some free hours or days.

Ideas for an irresistible plan

A perfect plan for a few free hours is to go to a park. Every city has two types of parks: small and very special parks that we hardly know or big and central parks where you can get lost and find your own favourite spot. Two clear examples of the last ones are El Retiro Park in Madrid and Masayoshi Ohira Park in Mexico City, where once you get inside you completely forget the chaos of the city.

Another plan that never fails in a free afternoon is to visit the museums and exhibitions of the city, in BYHOURS we love it. There are museums for all ages and tastes: from art exhibitions to photography competitions, with activities for the participants, to archaeological finds. It is a classic plan that we often lose sight of and think that they are only for tourists (WRONG!). In fact, as privileged to live in our city we have exclusive discounts or even free entry to many of them. One of the most popular museums at the moment is the Moco Museum Barcelona, we have already been able to visit it and it has completely won us over.

After a free afternoon exploring museums, parks or exhibitions, we can’t think of a better plan than ending with a few hours of relaxation in a hotel. Who said spa? Roof terraces? Beds that look heavenly? Indeed, our perfect plan (and from now on yours) could not be missing microstays. Taking advantage of the best hotels in your city with all their services for a few hours is now within everyone’s reach, paying only for the hours you need. One of our top hotels with spa to enjoy with the 3h pack is the Libertador Hotel in Buenos Aires, which in addition to its central location and high category, offers a gym and indoor heated pool.

Libertador Hotel in Benos Aires

Speaking of microstays, if you are one of the lucky ones who have more than a few hours to spare, we propose a fleeting getaway to a European city. Take advantage of the 24h pack among the more than 4000 hotels we have in more than 30 countries and discover a new city like Milan, Paris or Rome in two days. And with the Christmas holidays just around the corner, we suggest a trip to Berlin to visit its Christmas market. A plan that you will undoubtedly fall in love with and never forget.
