A PROPER BREAK, ON YOUR OWN CLOCK: VOCO BONNINGTON DUBAI UNVEILS 36-HOUR STAYCATION

Published

on

voco Bonnington Dubai is inviting guests to press pause with a new 36-hour staycation offer, built for travellers who want more than a rushed overnight stay. Rather than checking in for a single night and rushing out the next morning, guests can check in from 9am and check out at 9pm the following day, unlocking a full day and a half at the hotel for the price of one night.

The extended format is designed around the idea that a proper break needs more than a few hours to actually feel like one. Guests have an extra afternoon, evening and full day to make use of the hotel rather than squeezing everything into a single overnight, whether that means a long lie-in, a lazy breakfast, an afternoon by the pool, or simply having somewhere comfortable to work from before heading back out into the city. Breakfast is included on both mornings, so guests can ease into each day without the usual checkout-time pressure, and children stay free, with complimentary meals from the kids’ menu for the full length of the stay.

Location adds to the appeal. voco Bonnington Dubai sits just minutes from DMCC Metro, Dubai Marina and JBR, giving guests quick access to the beach, marina walk and the city’s business districts, while the hotel itself offers enough to make staying in just as tempting, from the gym and pool to its food and beverage outlets offering guests a place to unwind without needing to go far. It is this mix of connectivity and comfort that makes the 36-hour format work particularly well here, guests get the flexibility to explore Dubai on their own schedule, with a relaxed, well-equipped base to return to in between.

The offer is bookable for stays until 6 September 2026, and forms part of a wider IHG Hotels & Resorts initiative running across more than 190 hotels and resorts in the Middle East, Africa, India and South Asia, giving guests the same extended-stay flexibility wherever they choose to book.
