Dayuse, leader in daytime hotel bookings since 2011, launches Daypass by Dayuse in the United States. Locals and travelers can now book a hotel's pool, cabanas, spa, beach access or F&B packages for the day, with no overnight stay required.

Where it's available

  • Live today: South Florida (Miami, Fort Lauderdale), Los Angeles, Orlando and Scottsdale

  • Opening next: Texas, Las Vegas and Nashville, then Phoenix, San Diego, Palm Springs and Denver

Daypass is open to U.S. hotels with amenities such as a pool, cabanas, a spa, a rooftop or a beach.

Why it matters

Walk past a hotel pool on a quiet Tuesday. The water is treated, the lifeguard is on shift, the cabanas are made up, and almost nobody is there. The hotel pays for all of it, yet it earns from it only when an overnight guest happens to use it. Daypass fills those empty hours with guests who come specifically for the amenities. Dayuse data shows that day guests spend 35–40% more on-site than overnight guests.

Where the revenue comes from

Dayuse partner hotels earn up to $300K a year in daytime revenue, from four sources:

  • Entries on capacity the hotel already pays for

  • Premium upgrades such as cabanas and daybeds

  • On-site spend on F&B, spa and add-ons

  • Quiet days and unsold hours

How it works for hotels

The hotel sets its own rates, stock and open days, and can start with a few passes a day or a single cabana. There is no setup fee and no fixed cost, and Dayuse earns a commission only on the bookings it delivers. Guests prepay online and can cancel free up to 25 hours before, after which the booking is guaranteed. Daypass runs on an independent portal with no PMS integration, so a hotel can be live in as little as 10 days.

Demand

In Dayuse's April 2026 customer survey, 9 in 10 U.S. Dayuse guests surveyed (n = 2000) said they would consider a day pass. Among those most interested, 68% want pool access and 52% expect F&B. Guests are brought in by Dayuse's marketing, backed by a $16M marketing and communications investment with 3M+ active customers already.
