Destinations for a 1-day hotel stay
London Hotels
England's capital is a buzzing metropolis with more museums than you could shake a stick at—or visit during your 1-night stay. Nevertheless, booking a hotel in London for 1 day is a great way to get a glimpse of some of the city's highlights. And despite its size, its efficient public transport network means you won't waste time getting from A to B during your bite-sized break. So there's nothing stopping you from seeing a West End show, trying some traditional pie and mash and maybe even visiting one of those many museums.
Dublin Hotels
The capital of the Republic of Ireland is renowned for the “black gold” it exports in the form of Guinness. Once you've sipped your way through a brewery tour, you'll still have time during your 1-night trip to check out Dublin's historic sites, such as Kilmainham Gaol, let your hair down in the buzzing Temple Bar district and even enjoy a full Irish breakfast the next morning. The city's uniquely Irish flair is so distinctive that you'll instantly get a sense of its atmosphere—even if you're only there for 1 night.
Manchester Hotels
Located in the heart of England's former industrial heartlands, it's no surprise that many of Manchester's attractions revolve around its rich heritage—like the interactive Museum of Science and Industry. A 1-night stay is the perfect opportunity to discover some of them and explore the centre's unique blend of old and new architecture, too. The city is also famed for its nightlife, so maximise the time available by packing your itinerary to the rafters and sampling some of the finest Mancunian pubs, clubs and bars.
Birmingham Hotels
Affectionately known as “Brum”, Birmingham's industrial past has left its mark throughout the city in the form of a 30-mile system of waterways. And thanks to this crisscrossing network of canal-side trails, the city is very walkable—making it ideal for an active 1-day microbreak. Stroll along them to explore their history firsthand before heading to the Thinktank Birmingham Science Museum to discover more: a 1-night stay is the ideal window of time to discover Birmingham itself and learn about technology past, present and future into the bargain.
Edinburgh Hotels
A “bonnie” stay awaits in Scotland's capital, long a popular destination for royalty and tourists alike. During your 1-night stay in Edinburgh, you'll have just the right amount of time to check out Edinburgh Castle, perched precariously on a hill overlooking the city, stroll down the Royal Mile and try classic Scottish cuisine like haggis and the infamous deep-fried Mars bar. If you're feeling active, you might even be able to squeeze in an early-morning ascent of Arthur's Seat before you depart.

FAQ
What counts as 1 night at a hotel?
A 1-night hotel stay means that you stay for 1 night: you check in one day and check out the next. For instance, if you check in on Tuesday afternoon, you'll be checking out on Wednesday morning, or if you check in on Friday afternoon, you'll be checking out on Saturday morning. While booking a hotel for 1 night is a compact stay, it can be a great way to get a change of scenery without blowing the budget or overfilling your calendar.
What are the cheapest nights to stay in a hotel?
The cheapest time to stay often depends on the hotel's location. For instance, hotels in London's financial districts, such as Bank or Canary Wharf, are often cheaper on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, as their main market is business travellers—who don't tend to visit at the weekend. Conversely, properties near tourist hotspots, such as Edinburgh's Royal Mile, are usually more expensive at the weekend and cheaper on weeknights, as their main clientele tend to be weekend-trippers.
What does 1 night mean in hotels?
In a hotel, a 1-night stay means that you get access to your room for 1 night only: if you check in today, you'll be checking out tomorrow. Sounds short? It is—but it's also the perfect length of time for busy people looking for a quick escape from the daily grind and a chance to see the sights of Manchester's historic Civic Quarter or Dublin's hip Smithfield district, for instance.
How long is 1 night in a hotel?
A 1-night hotel stay can sometimes be even less than 24 hours long. If you arrive at 3pm, say, you might be leaving again at 10am the next morning, depending on your hotel's check-in and check-out times. A 2-night hotel stay, conversely, would give you at least one full day at your destination. They say that good things come in small packages, though, and a 1-night stay in the UK is no exception: despite its diminutive duration, you can pack a huge amount of adventuring, exploring or relaxation in.
Can you stay at Centre Parcs for 1 night?
No—the minimum stay duration at Centre Parcs is 3 nights. There are plenty of other 1-night lodge stays up and down the UK, though, from the tip of Scotland to England's south coast. So, there's nothing stopping you from gathering up your family and setting off on an overnight retreat to get in touch with nature, unwind and spend time with your nearest and dearest.
