✨New Year, New Travel Rituals: Why 2026 Is the Year You Ditch Hotels for Roxy Rentals✨

There’s something about a new year that makes us crave more. More rest. More intention. More trips that actually feel like a break. And as you start dreaming up your 2026 travel plans (yes, it’s never too early), we’re here with a gentle nudge: this is the year you stop booking hotels and start booking better.

Enter: Roxy Rentals.

Let’s be honest. Hotels had their moment. But if your idea of starting the year right includes space to breathe, room to spread out, and a stay that feels just as good as the destination itself, then a Roxy home is calling your name.

Before you book that standard room with the tiny table and the too-loud hallway noise, here’s the quick breakdown.

Hotels vs. Roxy Rentals (Let’s Compare)

Hotels

  • One room, one vibe

  • Limited privacy

  • Shared hallways, elevators, and noise

  • Often no kitchen (or just a mini fridge situation)

  • “Hang out space” is usually the lobby

  • Extra fees add up quickly (parking, resort fees, etc.)

Roxy Rentals

  • A full home with multiple rooms

  • Privacy, space, and room to breathe

  • Full kitchens and dining spaces

  • Living rooms that are actually made for lounging

  • Perfect for families, friends, and longer stays

  • Thoughtful details that make it feel instantly easy

✨ Bottom line: Hotels are a place to sleep. A Roxy home is a place to live for a while.

Make the New Year Count (and Feel Like a Reset)

The new year is all about intention, and where you stay matters more than you think. Instead of a cramped room, a shared elevator, and paper-thin walls, imagine this:

You open the door to a beautifully designed home. Fresh linens waiting. Snacks stocked. Enough space for everyone to settle in without tripping over suitcases.

Whether you’re planning a sunshine escape, a winter getaway, or a long weekend reset, Roxy Rentals gives you the freedom to travel your way. Slow mornings. Movie nights. Morning coffee that doesn’t require a lobby line.

Roxy Ritual to Try: The Arrival Reset

Want your trip to feel like a vacation from the second you walk in? Try this:

  • Put your phone on Do Not Disturb for 20 minutes

  • Unpack one small thing (toiletries count!)

  • Make a drink or grab a snack

  • Sit down and let your trip begin

Small ritual. Big difference.

More Space, More Memories

Traveling with family? Friends? A mix of both? Hotels make that complicated. Our homes make it easy.

Multiple bedrooms, full kitchens, comfy living spaces, and thoughtful details that turn a stay into a memory.

Translation: more laughing, less coordinating room numbers.

Roxy Ritual to Try: One Shared Moment a Day

Pick one simple anchor each day:
breakfast together, a morning walk, a sunset drink, or one “no plans” hour.

It’s the easiest way to turn a trip into something you actually remember.
