Experience an #ExtraDayYourWay with Residence Inn on Leap Year 2016, Monday, February 29

February 25, 2016 by Melissa Chapman 4 Comments

Most moms (including yours truly) will argue there’s never enough time to address the busy demands of day-to-day living; let alone find extra time to experience, indulge and enjoy life’s simple pleasures. That's why Yours truly has declared 2016 to be the year of putting MOMS first. Yes 2016 is all about indulging and yelling Carpe Diem and remembering that in addition to being a mother I'm also an individual who needs to treat myself every once in a while lest I turn into that Cat lady from the Simpsons. Luckily for me (and every other New York City adult who needs a little extra TLC) Residence Inn by Marriott, a brand that understands its guests’ busy schedules, will celebrate Leap Day – 24 hours of extra time – by taking over New York City to invite locals and tourists alike to experience free activities on February 29.

What would you do with an ‪#‎ExtraDayYourWay‬ ?

From an early morning “silent disco” yoga and dance party to an afternoon filled with playtime with puppies and pop-up pods to call loved ones, the upscale extended stay brand is helping New Yorkers maximize the extra calendar day. New York event attendees and social media followers ( of the hashtag #ExtraDayYourWay ) can look for surprises throughout the day, courtesy of Residence Inn by Marriott; Paul Mitchell, top professional hair care salon brand; and Kitchensurfing, on-demand private chefs.

Keep reading for the full day's schedule of FREE EVENTS!

Residence Inn understands its guests’ busy schedules, especially while on the road, and has selected Leap Day to demonstrate how each Residence Inn stay affords guests extra found time.  As the leader in extended stay lodging, the brand offers time-saving signature amenities and services including: free grocery delivery; complimentary hot breakfasts; fully equipped in-suite kitchens; Paul Mitchell grooming products; convenient 24-hour markets; fitness centers and The Mix evening social events, all in a pet-friendly environment.

In an effort to help New Yorkers maximize 2016’s extra calendar day, Residence Inn will host the following series of free interactive events that will take place around the city.

“Residence Inn understands that our extended stay guests are accustomed to life on the go, yet place equal value on work, home and fun,” said Diane Mayer, vice president and global brand manager, Residence Inn. “Our goal is to provide an opportunity for guests to thrive and experience the comfort elements of the modern home, as well as service and amenities that result in extra ‘found time’ to explore new surroundings and reconnect.”

Residence Inn, which created the extended stay lodging category, continues to introduce game changing industry direction for this segment. From new sleek branding to a chic updated lobby design, the brand evolves constantly to stay ahead of the curve and meet the needs of business travelers.

    With an extra day I’d sleep in. A nice luxe hotel stay sounds perfect.

    Hmmm – I’d take a spa day with my extra day (so says the mom who is prepping for 12 sporting events this weekend ) 🙂 Would love that ‘extra’ 🙂
