Dayuse.com is a Paris-based booking platform for microstays, with offices in Hong Kong, Montreal and New York. Created in 2010. The company facilitates the online and telephone booking of daytime booking rooms. The platform collaborates with a network of over 7000 across 25 countries, serving as an intermediary that connects customers with their chosen hotel accommodations.
In 2015, the daytime hotel booking platform Dayuse.com raised 15 million euros in a series A investment round. The investment round was led by venture capital firms Idinvest Partners and Partech Ventures, with the participation of business angels: Paul Dubrule (Co-founder of the Accor group), Charles Petruccelli (Former American Express Travel CEO), and Cédric Barbier (Creator of lesjeudis.com).
History
Dayuse.com was founded in 2010 by David Lebée and Thibaud D’Agrèves, they both worked at Hotel Amour in Paris. The hotel is known for accommodating touring artists and musicians, who ask about renting a room for a few hours during daytime as a place to relax before a performance. Lebée and D’Agrèves recognised that there was a gap in the market.
