Mad Men and Mad Women like to frequent hotels, especially during the day. They are the scene of their clandestine dates. They run away Peggy or George a few hours for their more or less romantic encounters and we fantasize about it. With escapades to hotels during the day, not with adultery, that vulgarity.

Hotels have detected this gap. There are people who do not want to sleep in them at night, but be daytime. Or they don't want to pay full fare of a room if they are only going to use it for a couple of hours. Or less. For them, some hotels launch special rates that, by the way, serve to make the empty rooms profitable. Be careful, this is not a promotion of infidelity, are rooms for a rendez-vous, that includes and summarizes many activities. They can also be used to organize meetings or to have a place to change clothes and rest on a quick visit to the city.

these hotels guarantee, of course, discretion . It will not be necessary to register in them as Mr. and Mrs. Smith , the classic fake name of a couple looking for a hotel by the hour for a clandestine raid. Websites like DayUse are having great success promoting hourly rentals in hotels in cities like London, New York or Paris . This success is due to the fact that they do not ask for a credit card when booking online and the confidentiality is extreme. Also to the good selection of hotels, which do not have a hint of clandestine air.

Tribeca Blue

The facade of the discreet Tribeca Blu

Two hotels that offer themselves as the setting for these encounters in the light of day that are so cinematographic and televised are the Tribeca Blue and the Flatiron , both in Manhattan. They are neither like the Japanese love hotels nor like the sad pensions that, in another time, were used for these purposes due to their low price. Let's make the adventure (ok, or that the meetings) have a stage at your height . Hotels, get your act together: the demand exists, what happens is that it is very discreet and sometimes uses false names.
