The rise of hourly services in hospitality

How flexible, on-demand offerings are redefining hotel revenue and guest experience

Hourly services are reshaping the hospitality industry by enabling hotels to offer short-term, on-demand access to amenities and spaces like meeting rooms, gyms, and parking. This approach not only creates new revenue streams but also meets the growing demand for flexible and personalized experiences from both travelers and locals. The trend reflects a strategic shift as hotels adapt to changing guest expectations and competitive pressures.

Key takeaways

• On-demand culture: From wellness to workspaces, guests expect services available instantly and without long commitments.
• Broader audience appeal: Hourly offerings attract not just hotel guests, but also locals, remote workers, and nearby businesses.
