More and more hotels are moving away from mid-morning check-out times – and we could not welcome this news more.

At Patina Hotels and Resorts in Singapore, guests can stay in their rooms until as late as 3pm. And in Hollywood at Peninsula Hotels, you can literally stay as long as you like – there’s no 24-hour limit, so you could check in, for instance, at 2pm and leave at 6pm the next day.

While the trend hasn’t yet caught on in Australia, we’re hoping it does soon. There are apps dedicated to late check-outs overseas – if you’re staying at a participating hotel, you can use the app to pay a fee to stay a little longer. $10 for an hour or two longer in a swanky hotel bed? Priceless.
