The notion of designating hotel rooms for day-use only certainly is nothing new; Yannis Moati founded an entire company on the concept back in 2015. That company, HotelsByDay, has grown to include more than 1,500 hotels, and has seen a significant uptick in the number of inquiries for day-use bookings since the pandemic began.
当然，专供白天使用的酒店房间不是什么新概念；2015年雅尼斯·莫阿提基于这一概念创办了一家公司，名叫HotelsByDay。这家公司日益壮大，旗下酒店超过1500家，自从疫情暴发以来，预定日租房的咨询量显著上升。
Moati said the current situation will force hotels to reinvent themselves to stay alive, and he predicted that offering rooms for day-use only is one of the directions they will go.
