Staycation in the city

No travel woes, no packing, weekend stays at city hotels are the new way to unwind.

Want to take a vacation without losing sleep over travel and packing woes? A “Staycation” is what you need. This idea is perfect for young families who just need a little break from all of the city madness, as it involves minimum travel to reach the hotel and the rest is taken care of.

Rakesh Hariharan, an IT professional feels that staycations are a great way to make some time for yourself. “A staycation is perfect whenever I feel like taking a day for myself. The upscale hotels offer packages for a day which mostly includes a breakfast. I prefer being by myself and doing a little research during this time. Long weekends are an ideal time to check in.”

For young families, a staycation is a thoroughly enjoyable experience. Tim Thimmaiah, a development manager says, “When you’re just at home for the weekend, you end up having to do some work. During a staycation, we can relax, take a dip in the pool, have a good meal and simply be with each other.”

Staycations have multiple advantages in comparison to a trip outside the city. The advantages of staycations include the fact that there is no rush or sightseeing involved. Sonali Malhotra, an early years educator says, “Staycations are all about spending quality time exclusively with my family. This way, there is no anxiety to match the requirements for a particular holiday and there is a shift of focus from the holiday itself, to your family and yourself.”

Plenty of luxury hotels in the city welcome people in for staycations as Ina Dubier from a five star hotel says, “We have seen a steady rise in our patrons opting for staycations. It’s usually couples and families who prefer the serene drive to the hotel, away from the hustle and bustle of the city. We offer them a special weekend, a delicious complimentary breakfast and a discount on our spa to help them rejuvenate and rewind”.

Staycations are a quick and easy stress-free vacation. It sounds like a stellar idea for anyone looking to indulge in a luxurious and comfortable setting over the weekend without having to leave the city!
