"To shake things up and bring a little excitement to your routine, consider a hotel staycation. It's an ideal way to spruce up a month with few plans on the calendar, or to celebrate a special occasion. Logistics are minimal, meaning planning is a breeze compared to gearing up for an international or multi-leg trip, and there's no jet lag to worry about or days off needed."
"It's also an easy entrée into traveling alone-solo adventures are on the rise this year, according to Fora's 2026 Hot List, a trend forecast compiled by the travel agency's platform data and insights from its global roster of advisors; women in particular are "embracing a seize-the-moment mindset," the report says. If a flight or road trip feels overwhelming to tackle alone, a staycation at a local hotel is a nice way to practice elements of solo travel-setting your own schedule,"
New Yorkers can fall into routine despite abundant neighborhoods and constant newness, especially during extreme weather when exploration is limited. Daily movements often shrink to home, work, and nearby shops, with occasional neighborhood dining. A hotel staycation provides an easy way to break that pattern and inject excitement without complex logistics. Staycations avoid jet lag, require no days off, and simplify planning compared with international or multi-leg trips. Staycations also serve as approachable solo-travel practice, allowing individuals to set their own schedules and dine alone without committing to longer trips. Editors identified favorite local hotels for staycation inspiration.
