We have been looking forward to the events of Christmas and New Year, and as these days come around we have not taken it easy to eat and celebrate. After all, who can resist the delicacies that have been on the table all these days, it is necessary to return to healthier habits. So, nothing better than a total detoxification to eliminate all the toxins and revitalize our body and mind.

With this in mind, at BYHOURS we have prepared some tips to help you start the year in the most peaceful and healthy way!

Drink more water

Let’s start with some easy advice that we can simply include in our daily lives without much effort. Increasing water consumption brings great benefits such as hydration and a better functioning of the body, especially for those who have increased their alcohol consumption. How about leaving the water bottle always nearby? Your skin and liver will thank you!

Drink the famous green juice

We have all heard of the famous green juice, loaded with cabbage, lemon, ginger and the like. This type of detox juice is a great option to eliminate toxins from the body, decrease fluid retention and achieve more physical and mental vitality.

Detoxification is nothing more than eating right! Including vegetables, plenty of water and green foods on the menu already makes a difference.

For those who don’t like some of these ingredients very much, they can investigate the variety of fruits and vegetables that make up a green juice, choose the options they like best and achieve the same results.

Exercise

Now that, improving our eating habits and making our menu healthier, the cleansing and detoxification are already in action, we need something very important. Another good practice that will eliminate not only toxins, but also the “extra fat” obtained at parties, is the practice of sports.

And we are not talking about becoming a fitness or elite sportsman, but a good walk, cycling or climbing the stairs of your building contributes to physical well-being and is extremely healthy and recommended, especially after a few weeks where we have been more sedentary.

Less mobile and social networking

We are connected all the time to mobiles, computers and social networks, especially when we have events and family gatherings where we want to record every moment and share it with friends. But even for this excess of connection, a virtual detox is necessary, where it is extremely important to disconnect and reserve a few days or hours of quality for us. Experience “Offline” time and allow yourself to spend time with yourself, rest and relax away from the internet.

Relax

Have you ever taken a day off to relax after so many celebrations and events? Toxins are not only found in the air we breathe or in the food we eat, but also in the environment around us. Even to activate our creativity and have more productive days the mind needs space to rest.

So why not take a day to relax and unwind? At some point, at least, take the time to do nothing. A few hours in a hotel on a micro-stay basis is an excellent suggestion to use now to do this type of detox.

Detox in the soul

Basically, detoxification consists of eliminating the substances that are not useful, which also affects our energies and thoughts. A good reading, a coffee with friends, contact with nature, time with the person you love or good music already transform your mood. All these small actions can be considered an energetic detoxification. Working with positive feelings and thoughts detoxifies the mood and emotions, making them lighter and better prepared for life’s events and challenges.

Start the year with health, renewed energies and ready to face 365 days full of new opportunities. Life becomes easier and more fun when we are healthy.

New Year’s Eve is always special, a night to celebrate and spend with our people. However, in this exceptional year, we’ll have to adapt to live New Year’s Eve in a different way.

In some countries there will be more or less restrictions, but what is clear is that we won’t have the typical crowded parties. But when a problem arises, an opportunity arises aswell, and at BYHOURS we have several proposals to help you have the best possible year ending. With our 24 hour packs you will be able to spend the whole night in a hotel with all kinds of luxuries and comforts, to enter the new year in the best way.

Below we show you a recommendation of hotels in different destinations where you can spend a more intimate and different New Year’s Eve.

Hotel Renaissance Barcelona

A very good option to spend New Year’s Eve Barcelona. This hotel is located on Paseo de Gracia, just 5 minutes walking from great works of Gaudi such as Casa Batlló and La Pedrera.

If you feel more like staying at the hotel, there is the Goja Rooftop Experience terrace, where you can enjoy a dinner with a magnificent view of the city and say goodbye to the year with some cocktails.

Hotel Barceló Imagine

If you are going to spend New Year’s Eve in Madrid, we recommend you to spend it at the Barceló Imagine Hotel. The hotel has a gym and a massage room so you can relax and unwind. Finally, after dinner, you can say goodbye to the year while you have a cocktail while admiring the views of Madrid in its panoramic room.

Hôtel Holiday Inn Paris Gare de Lyon Bastille

Paris, the city of love, a great option to spend New Year’s Eve with that special person, walk around the Champs-Elysées, visit the Eiffel Tower, and spend the night in a luxurious hotel. The hotel is located in the center of Paris, and has a restaurant and a gym, besides having the particularity that they admit pets. So, if you want to say goodbye to the year with your pet as well, you can do it.

Roman Holidays Boutique Hotel

If you are spending New Year’s Eve in Rome, this hotel is located in the center of the city. Moreover, if you want to wish for 2021 to be better than this 2020, the Trevi Fountain is less than 15 minutes away by public transport. The hotel has a spa and wellness center where you can enjoy a sauna and Turkish bath to say goodbye to this stressful year in the most relaxing way.

And then you can relax by the hotel’s outdoor swimming pool or eat at its restaurant which specialises in international cuisine.

Warwick Doha Hotel

Finally, a good and different option is to spend the end of the year in Qatar. It is usually very hot all year round, but in winter you can enjoy very pleasant temperatures of around 20-25 degrees, although you will have to take into account that at night the temperatures drop quite a lot. The hotel is located in Doha’s city centre, close to the main tourist sights and with easy access to the big shopping centres.

So you know, if you are going to spend the end of the year in one of these destinations, come and live it in one of these hotels enjoying the city and 24h of hotel. And during the day, you can make plans in your own city.

What do you think when someone tells you to summarize your 2020? What do you miss about this strange year we leave behind? Now that Christmas is coming we value how these 12 months of obstacles, suffering, effort and solidarity have been. We would have never thought that sci-fi would be surpassed by such an atypical year like this last one. Among all the losses we had, time and experiences we have missed during the pandemic have been two key points.

Now that it seems we can start to enjoy a little bit and regain what we have so strongly desired, it is the moment to not let it scape. Time and new experiences with our loved ones. What else do we need? Nothing else!

At BYHOURS we have proposed ourselves to make these two wishes a reality by our new giftcards: ‘Micro-Holidays’. As easy as enjoying some quality time and new experiences  in 4* and 5* hotels, but with the opportunity to give a surprise to your loved ones. Friends, family, partner… Who would you like to award this great opportunity?

We explain to you how it Works and what can you give with it, so that this Christmas you can be the most original.

Your Micro-Holiday giftcard at the Price you decide

With this option you have it easy. You will only need to choose the price you would like to give in the Micro-Holidays giftcard web and you will receive your giftcard so that you can give it to the persone you want. You will need to choose prices between 25, 35, 55 or 100 euros, so that later you can exchange those prices in order of the hotel and hour pack the receiver chooses. You already know all our microstays are double, so you can book for two persons.

Thought this year would not be original? Here you have the best option to give some quality time and surprise who you love most.

This Christmas get back what we have lacked this 2020: time and new experiences to enjoy with our loved ones. This Christmas give our ‘Micro-Holidays’ giftcard with BYHOURS.

The last month of the year has arrived. It seems unbelievable that December has already landed in a 2020 that brings us upside down. Without a doubt, it’s been the most atypical year of all and globally! But don’t worry, this is not a post to take stock of the 12 months of the year, that will come, don’t worry. Today we bring you ideas to do during the next 31 days that December has in the calendar. At BYHOURS we’ve plans for you!

While in some places in the world the warmth is just around the corner and you can already enjoy the beach, in other countries the cold has come to stay for a few months. But nothing can stop the pleasure of enjoying the city, the beach, the mountains… or the hotel! So if you really want to have a great time, read on.

Decorating the house Christmas mood

December smells like Christmas, hot chocolate and baked biscuits. December is family and friends, meetings and meals, and decoration, lots of decoration! That’s why we encourage you to get hold of those gadgets and elements you like best and decorate your favourite corners of the house. There’s nothing like making the house beautiful with the Christmas atmosphere. Are you up for it?

Visit your city, is it lit up?

Many cities are already full of lights at this time of year, creating a magical atmosphere in the streets. We encourage you to walk around your favourite places, enjoy the landscape and the company more than ever. And if you get tired after a whole day… Book a micro-stay and rest in a luxury king size bed!

Dinner and sleep at your favourite hotel

That we cannot yet travel or tour new cities far from home? Don’t worry, at BYHOURS we have the solution. We have more than 3.500 hotels worldwide. 600 cities where you can find a hotel near you where you can eat an exclusive menu and sleep 24 hours paying only for the time you are really going to be there. It’s a great plan and you know it!

Sunbathe in the hotel pool with the best views (only suitable for the southern hemisphere)

Yes, we feel it for the rest of the world that doesn’t live in some country in the southern hemisphere… But on this occasion only they’ll be able to enjoy a few hours of sunshine in the best pools overlooking the city, the countryside or an infinite beach. Because they can book a microstay and not only enjoy the room, but also all the services offered by the hotel: swimming pool, gym, spa, restaurant… Isn’t it wonderful to stop and enjoy December like this?

Skate on a dream ice rink (only suitable for the northern hemisphere)

Don’t think we forgot the rest. Indeed, there’re also flat areas where the cold sets in at the end of the year. What do you say to skating in the middle of the city? With that ‘Christmas mood’ we were talking about and everything lit up, we find it a very appealing activity. What if you combine visiting the city + skating + resting with a microstay? You won’t leave the city, but it will have been worth it more than ever to enjoy it in a big way. Why not?

We hope you liked these small but fun December plans and you can enjoy them. We invite you to leave a comment with your ideas so that we can share with you what we’re doing during the last month of the year. Welcome December!

Sleeping well is essential for staying active and healthy throughout the day. Nowadays, sleep is one of the most important factors in hotels and the WHO states that only 20% of the world’s population sleeps as much as they should, which is alarming. Therefore, at BYHOURS we have decided to explain to you the most important factors that a hotel cannot miss when it comes to providing the best rest service to its guests.

There are many types of travellers, some who plan their routes more and others who are more adventurous. In spite of this, it is always advisable to rest in a hotel for a few hours before reaching your final destination. This is where the quality and comfort of these establishments comes into play, as well as their environment, because you do not rest in all of them in the same way. Therefore, a hotel that prides itself on its ability to help guests fall asleep just as well, or even better, than at home:

1.Suitable mattress: 70% of the hotel clients consider that the mattress is the main criterion to choose a good establishment of this type, since their good rest will depend on this factor. Also, the quality of the mattress is becoming a very important factor when it comes to the evaluation of a hotel by the users, being at the level of the breakfast or the silence factor. Compared to the 10 years of life of a normal mattress, those of the hotels are changed every 5 years and:

• • They require special characteristics such as firmness, elasticity, permeability, thermal insulation, fatigue resistance, triple barrier treatments against dust mites, bacteria and fungi and the combination of different materials, such as foams, springs, cores, springs, etc. for a long and extensive life.
  • They need greater resistance in the corners due to wear and tear. Sitting on the side when we wake up, when we watch TV or when we tie our shoes, are some of the situations that make the corners wear out very easily.
  • They must be fire retardant or fireproof. To guarantee greater safety for guests in the event of an emergency, this is a prerequisite.
  • That they’re stain resistant is one of the main requirements when buying a mattress for a hotel. Many suppliers provide chemicals to clean these stains by 90%. However, in recent years, other technologies have been chosen for easy assembly, washing and ironing.
  • Many manufacturers produce them on two sides, so that they can be turned over, thus covering some stain or defect.

2. Comfortable pillow adapted to each guest: The goal of using a pillow when sleeping is none other than to keep the head in a neutral alignment position, so dimensions are important. If the pillow is too low, it will cause the neck muscles to sink and the spine to curve downward at the top. This can cause neck pain and stiffness. Otherwise, if it is too high it will cause the neck muscles to stretch and the spine to curve at the top, leading to headaches and neck pain.

3. Good location of the room: The location of the room is something very important when it comes to a good sleeping in a hotel. As a general rule, the rooms on the upper floors are the ones furthest away from the common areas where there is usually the most noise (restaurants, lounges, etc.), so they are ideal for a good night’s sleep. This is why the most luxurious hotel rooms (suites) are usually located on the highest floors.

4. Silent environment: Another fundamental point when choosing a hotel is that no construction work is being carried out on the hotel premises, even in its immediate vicinity, as this type of noise makes it very difficult for guests to relax.

5. Full relaxation thanks to some of the hotel’s amenities, in the form of teas, mineral salts or soaps with which to take a pleasant relaxing bath with foam, the use of the spa area, etc. All these components will undoubtedly help to increase the guest’s rest and the quality of their sleep.

Finally, it should be noted that, according to a study carried out by a famous hotel chain and published in El Economista, the aspect that hotel guests value most is the quality of the mattress and the soft bedding, and they do so by 32%. This is already ahead of those who value breakfast (30% of the total).

And you, where do you get a sleeping perfect?
