Dayuse.com is a French company and a booking platform for hotel rooms during the day..[1] Created in 2010 , Dayuse.com is a website that offers the booking of daytime hotel rooms online and by telephone. The company lists over 2000 hotels in 15 countries. The company is not a direct provider of these services, but an intermediary[2] that connects customers with the hotels of their choice. The headquarters of the company are based in the 9th arrondissement of Paris , and they also have offices in São Paulo and New York.

In 2015, the daytime hotel booking platform Dayuse.com has raised 15 million euros in a series A investment round underlining its status as one of France’s hottest start-ups. The investment[3] round was led by venture capital firms Idinvest and Partech Ventures, with the participation of business angels : Paul Dubrule , Cedric Barbier, and Charles Petruccelli[4]

History

Dayuse.com was founded in 2010[5] by David Lebée[6] and Thibaud D’Agrèves [7]. Both of whom worked at Hotel Amour in Paris. The hotel is particulary popular with touring artists and musicians. Often, the guests would ask about renting a room for a few hours during daytime, just for a place to relax before a performance. Lebée and D’Agrèves recognised that there was a gap in the market, and the idea for dayuse.com was born [8] [9] [10]
