City breaks, island escapes, and event-driven travel \u2014 including concerts and festivals \u2014 are key motivators. \u201cBleisure\u201d travel is also a major driver, with one in four Gen Z and Millennial travellers using business trips as a springboard for multi-stay leisure experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Hot Cities for Hotel Hoppers*<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Tokyo, Japan: Hop from <a href=\"https:\/\/uk.hotels.com\/ho1103480608\/cyashitsu-ryokan-asakusa-tokyo-japan\">Cyashitsu Ryokan Asakusa<\/a>, a luxe ryokan, to modern casual at <a href=\"https:\/\/uk.hotels.com\/ho2917986304\/hotel-indigo-tokyo-shibuya-an-ihg-hotel-tokyo-japan\/\">Hotel Indigo Tokyo Shibuya<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>London, U.K.: Hop from <a href=\"https:\/\/uk.hotels.com\/ho2229429984\/broadwick-soho-london-united-kingdom\/\">Broadwick Soho<\/a> in the bustling centre of downtown to a quiet stay at <a href=\"https:\/\/uk.hotels.com\/ho606011\/petersham-hotel-richmond-united-kingdom\">The Petersham<\/a> on the outskirts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Los Angeles, U.S.: Hop from <a href=\"https:\/\/uk.hotels.com\/ho126110\/the-hollywood-roosevelt-los-angeles-united-states-of-america\">The Hollywood Roosevelt<\/a> in the heart of Hollywood to a charming beach stay at <a href=\"https:\/\/uk.hotels.com\/ho118614\/georgian-hotel-santa-monica-united-states-of-america\/\">The Georgian Hotel<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Paris, France: Hop from classic Paris views at the <a href=\"https:\/\/uk.hotels.com\/ho111690\/hotel-regina-louvre-paris-france\">Hotel Regina Louvre<\/a> to boutique charm at <a href=\"https:\/\/uk.hotels.com\/ho974014464\/la-planque-hotel-paris-france\/\">La Planque H\u00f4tel<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Las Vegas, U.S.: Hop from business at the <a href=\"https:\/\/uk.hotels.com\/ho228169\/wynn-las-vegas-las-vegas-united-states-of-america\/\">Wynn<\/a> to unwinding <a>off-strip<\/a> at <a href=\"https:\/\/uk.hotels.com\/ho163453\/jw-marriott-las-vegas-resort-spa-las-vegas-united-states-of-america\">The Resort<\/a> at Summerlin.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Hot Islands for Hotel Hoppers*<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Mallorca, Spain: Hop from centrally located <a href=\"https:\/\/uk.hotels.com\/ho2197563104\/concepcio-by-nobis-palma-de-mallorca-spain\/\">Concepci\u00f3 by Nobis<\/a> to the island\u2019s outskirts at <a href=\"https:\/\/uk.hotels.com\/ho659280\/finca-sestelrica-arta-spain\/\">Finca Sestelrica<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Honolulu, U.S.: Hop from oceanfront elegance at <a href=\"https:\/\/uk.hotels.com\/ho161915\/four-seasons-resort-oahu-at-ko-olina-kapolei-united-states-of-america\/\">Four Seasons Resort Oahu at Ko Olina<\/a> to a budget-friendly boutique stay at <a href=\"https:\/\/uk.hotels.com\/ho133428\/waikiki-sand-villa-hotel-honolulu-united-states-of-america\/\">Wayfinder Waikiki<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Phuket, Thailand: Hop from <a href=\"https:\/\/uk.hotels.com\/ho1563029152\/four-points-by-sheraton-phuket-patong-beach-resort-patong-thailand\/\">Four Points by Sheraton Phuket Patong Beach Resort<\/a>, an all-inclusive in the entertainment centre, to a quieter stay at <a href=\"https:\/\/uk.hotels.com\/ho323752\/metadee-resort-and-villas-karon-thailand\/\">Metadee Concept Hotel<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bali, Indonesia: Hop from luxury wellness at <a href=\"https:\/\/uk.hotels.com\/ho2499463040\/gdas-bali-health-and-wellness-resort-ubud-indonesia\/\">GDAS Bali Health and Wellness Resort<\/a> &#8211; Adults Only to an unplugged respite at <a href=\"https:\/\/uk.hotels.com\/ho428488\/junjungan-ubud-hotel-spa-ubud-indonesia\/\">Junjungan Ubud Hotel &amp; Spa<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>San Juan, Puerto Rico: Hop from resort style <a href=\"https:\/\/uk.hotels.com\/ho216649\/hyatt-regency-grand-reserve-puerto-rico-rio-grande-puerto-rico\/\">Hyatt Regency Grand Reserve<\/a> to residential <a href=\"https:\/\/uk.hotels.com\/ho2700235200\/don-rafa-boutique-hotel-residences-san-juan-puerto-rico\">Don Rafa Boutique Hotel &amp; Residences<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Expert Travel Tip: <\/strong>Hotel Hop like a pro by setting up Hotel Price Alerts on Hotels.com to never miss a great deal on your next stay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Notes to Editors<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>*Third-Party Methodology<\/strong><br>Third-party research was conducted by market research partner OnePoll in accordance with the Market Research Society\u2019s Code of Conduct.
