Why Choose an extended stay hotel?

What kind of hotel do you prefer staying in?

Three weeks ago, I spent a fun weekend in Miami during the FIFA playoff weekend between England and France.

For the first part of my stay, I booked a beautiful upscale hotel in Brickell. It was modern, contemporary, spotless, and very well designed. I'm sure many travelers would absolutely love it.

• But I discovered something about myself...

  It just wasn't my style.

  The sleek design felt a little too modern for me. It was impressive, but it didn't have the warm, comfortable feeling I enjoy after a long day.

  For the last couple of nights, I stayed at the Homewood Suites by Hilton in Brickell, an extended-stay hotel similar to the Residence Inn by Marriott.

  The difference was immediate.

  Instead of one open room, I had a comfortable sitting area with a sofa and coffee table, a desk where I could work, and a kitchenette. It simply felt more like home.

  As someone who travels for business, I realized how much that matters.

  When you're away from home, finding a hotel that matches your personality and travel style can make you feel more relaxed, more productive, and even help you enjoy the trip a little more.

  One of the questions I often ask travelers isn't, "What's the nicest hotel?" It's, "What kind of hotel fits you?"

  There's a reason our industry has so many different brands and hotel concepts.

  Because there are so many different kinds of travelers.

  What's your preference?
  🏨 Luxury?
  🏡 Extended Stay?
  🏢 Boutique?
  🏖️ Resort?
  Or maybe you're like me and simply enjoy a place that feels a little more like home.
