The Parisian routine: a whirlwind of crowded metros, pressing deadlines, and weekends that vanish far too quickly. We love each other, but finding real, quality time—free from mental checklists and exhaustion—has become a rarity. The idea of a full weekend away felt like a logistical mountain we weren't ready to climb. That's when a new idea took root: a "daycation." A micro-adventure lasting just a few hours, in the middle of the day, set in an exceptional place. It was the promise of a total disconnect without packing a suitcase or taking a day off work. The goal was simple: to surprise my partner with an escape of intimacy and luxury that was as easy to organize as a dinner reservation, but infinitely more memorable.
The idea was there, but the execution had to be flawless and, above all, secret. I discovered Siestify and the concept immediately clicked: the ability to book a hotel room for a few hours with astonishing simplicity. In just a few clicks, I filtered by neighborhood and stumbled upon the Hôtel Mercedes in the chic 17th arrondissement. The hotel's striking pink façade and the promise of an Art Deco universe were all it took to convince me. The booking process was shockingly fast. No lengthy forms, no mandatory account creation. I chose a 2 PM to 7 PM slot, entered my name and an email, and it was confirmed. The whole thing took less than five minutes on my phone, all in complete secrecy. The confirmation email arrived instantly, no frills, just the essentials. Operation "romantic surprise" was officially a go.
The surprise was a complete success. Arriving at 128 Avenue de Wagram, my partner was intrigued. The powdery pink façade of the Hôtel Mercedes, a true Art Deco ship, stands out with elegance against the Haussmannian architecture. The moment we stepped through the doors, the Parisian hustle and bustle melted away. The lobby transported us straight to the 1930s: dark wood paneling, period light fixtures, leather club chairs... The welcome was warm and professional. No awkward questions, no judgment. We were simply guests, there to enjoy our room. In moments, the key (a real, charmingly old-fashioned key) was in our hands. We were ready to discover our private sanctuary.
The Deluxe MIAMI BLUE room turned out to be much more than just a room; it was a stage, an atmosphere. Spacious at 20m², it immediately won us over with its bold aesthetic. The deep blue walls, accented with brass details and geometric furniture, created an environment that was both chic and calming. The quality of the bedding was impeccable—an instant invitation to unwind. I particularly appreciated the thick, effective blackout curtains, which allowed us to create a perfect twilight ambiance in the middle of the afternoon. The silence was absolute. The soundproofing was flawless, completely cutting us off from the life of the avenue below. The spotless bathroom, with its graphic tiles and quality toiletries, completed this perfect experience. For the next five hours, this was our bubble, our secret refuge.
If intense blue isn't your style, the hotel offers other worlds to explore. For an equally Art Deco but gentler atmosphere, the classic FLORIDA ROSE room offers a powdery, intimate alternative, perfect for a couple's retreat. This is the beauty of this establishment: each room has its own distinct personality.
One of the greatest advantages of a daycation at Hôtel Mercedes is its flexibility. Whether you have 3, 5, or 8 hours to spare, there's an option for you. A daytime booking gives you all the luxury of an overnight stay but at a fraction of the cost—often 60-75% less. Here’s a quick guide to help you plan your own escape:
The experience doesn't end when you check out. The location of Hôtel Mercedes is a major asset. At 7 PM, feeling refreshed and rested, we decided to prolong the magic. A hand-in-hand stroll through the romantic pathways of Parc Monceau, less than a 10-minute walk away, was the perfect next step. The area is filled with chic bistros and lively terraces around Avenue des Ternes and Place des Ternes. For those who, like us, enjoy combining relaxation with other pleasures, the hotel serves as an excellent base. A daycation can be the perfect way to set up a secret headquarters for a special day in the city. Our daycation ended with a drink on a terrace, feeling as if we had traveled miles away, all in the space of a few hours.
Absolutely. Arrival and departure at Hôtel Mercedes are handled just like any other guest stay, with no mention of the 'day-use' format. The staff is professional and guarantees complete discretion. The booking process through Siestify is equally simple and confidential.
Yes, our experience in the MIAMI BLUE room was excellent in this regard. The soundproofing is top-notch, blocking out noise from both the busy Avenue de Wagram and the hotel corridors. It’s a true sanctuary of peace, perfect for getting away from it all.
A daytime reservation gives you access to the room and all its amenities (high-speed Wi-Fi, private bathroom, towels, toiletries) exactly as you would for an overnight stay. You receive the same level of service and comfort, but for a price adapted to a shorter duration.
Yes, the room is yours for the entire time slot you've booked (e.g., from 2 PM to 7 PM). You are free to arrive at 2:30 PM and leave at 6 PM if you wish. This flexibility is one of the key benefits of the day-use concept.
