As human beings of the twenty-first century we seek a sense of comfort everywhere we go. No matter how much of a free spirit you are, consistency is a factor that inevitably plays its role. A lot of the time, loneliness and not knowing can scare us; and that fear is what makes us miss home. If you’re a frequent traveler by choice, or by profession; here are a few tips to make your hotel room more than just an address.

Bring in a little home

Just because you are away from home, it doesn’t mean you can’t bring it with you. A sea view and glamorous heights can take your breath away, but without adding your personal touch, you will always feel like a stranger to your own abode. It doesn’t have to be too crazy – just bring in a relaxing scented candle, put on your favorite playlist, or even invest in a few pieces of decor every now and then.

Stay Active

You are what you eat, and one of the biggest contributing factors to feeling miserable can have a lot to do with your daily habits. Overindulging on that blueberry cheesecake, while sinking into those devilishly soft sheets of your luxury hotel, can be okay every once in a while, but overdoing it, is just asking for trouble. Make it a point to get moving aside from your daily work patterns at least a few times a week – you’ll thank yourself later.

Rituals are everything

A part of what makes a house a home isn’t just our possessions, the ambiance, or the people. It’s the things that we do and our daily rituals -only special to us. Maybe the first thing you like to do every morning is sit up and meditate, break a sweat at the gym, or fix a plate for breakfast. Whatever it is, don’t let the habits that are unique to you, getaway. A part of what makes traditions and rituals so special is our ability to carry them with us and pass them on; like we have been for generations.

Endless Entertainment

Whether you are on holiday, or on a bleisure trip doesn’t forget to block a time slot just for you.  The art of doing nothing is something that has been mistaken for laziness. We believe that by overworking ourselves we are on a quicker route to success. But as psychology states, doing at least one activity or hobby you truly enjoy, helps keep your stress hormones at bay which will, in turn, lead to you going back to work or daily chores more refreshed than ever.

The Silver Lining

Focus on the bright side. When we get too comfortable, we often tend to forget what we have. Staying in a hotel room can give you a sense of independence, privacy, and freedom that sometimes apartments take away. Fewer bills, fewer responsibilities, and most importantly, you’ll learn the valuable lesson of having to live with fewer possessions and attachments.

All in all, as most can agree, staying in a hotel room especially in a glamorous city like Dubai showcases more perks than one can imagine. If you’re on the lookout for a prime new spot, that’s a perfect fit for being your new home-away-from-home, call us.
