Extended-Stay Booking Platform Signs Contracts With Leading Hotel
Brands
Since its launch last month, Yovivo has signed 40
properties across five brands to offer extended hotel stays
Yovivo´s global extended-stay platform has gained valued options
for customers seeking to stay in a hotel property for a month or
longer. With over 40 properties signed up since its extended-stay
platform launch just a month ago, Yovivo is responding to the
fastest-growing hospitality sector, largely consisting of digital
nomads, seasonal travellers and remote workers in this fluid
marketplace.
“The appetite for hotel stays of a month or longer is growing,”
says Head of Product, Karen Kochmann. “People are working more
remotely, travelling more slowly and seeking more immersive holiday
experiences. We are trying to keep up with this demand by providing
increasing locations to choose from across the world.” Yovivo
has expanded its portfolio by connecting with state-of-the-art
properties in sought-after locations like Porto, London, South
Africa, and Paris. In addition to traditional hotel comforts, many
of the properties offer facilities designed for extended-stay
travellers, such as dedicated work spaces, cooking facilities and
wellness activities. These include leading names in hospitality,
such as the Wotels hotel chain in Portugal; Yuna, a French
company offering hotels and apartments; Feel Porto, providing
stylish apartment accommodations; and aparthotels in South Africa
managed by Totalstay. Yovivo has also initiated its London
offerings through a collaboration with Nestor Stay. While
several big-name hospitality brands such as Hilton and Marriott
have firmly attached themselves to the extended-stay bandwagon,
Yovivo claims to be the first booking platform to feature a
plethora of extended-stay hotels from third parties across the
world. A global platform; hotels, hostels, aparthotels and similar
hospitality-based properties can be booked via the Yovivo platform,
which promises discounts of up to 50% for bookings of a month or
longer. Yovivo already features over 350,000 hotel
properties on its platform, and is now beginning to onboard
properties specifically designed for extended stays of a month or
longer. Yovivo recently announced its unique “under request”
feature which allows any hotel to offer extended stays regardless
of their existing booking system or channel
manager. About Yovivo Yovivo consists of
passionate expats (whom have lived in more than 15 countries),
travel professionals, and software developers. Currently based on
Mallorca, an international hospitality hub, it became evident that
hotels are adapting their products to extended-stay bookings in
order to become more economically sustainable, not only in their
business growth but also in response to the growing trend of remote
workers and digital nomads. Historically these nomads were mainly
using private home rentals, but recent trends have shifted towards
hotel accommodation. The idea was to create a platform dedicated to
global hotel bookings to meet the demand for extended-stay
accommodation at reasonable rates. Press
