Helping Millions of People Recharge via Short-Term Hotel Stays 

Travel isn’t just tiring – it’s often unstructured. Early red-eye arrivals, long layovers and gaps between meetings are common, and often leave travelers without a comfortable place to rest and recharge. Nappr is addressing this gap by making flexible, short-term hotel stays accessible whenever and wherever they’re needed. 

Founded by Jared Lerner, Nappr is a marketplace that offers thousands of 2 to 12-hour hotel stays at all of the world’s largest brands and boutiques. The platform enables travelers to book daytime stays at a fraction of the overnight rate and creates easy access to private spaces for resting, working or simply recharging the middle of a hectic day. 

The idea for this was born out of Lerner’s own experience as a frequent traveler. After countless early-morning arrivals and sleepless flights, he saw firsthand how difficult it was to find a place to reset during the day. Rather than powering through with fatigue, he set out to build a better solution – one that supports not just sleep, but overall well-being and productivity on the road. 

Today, Nappr has scaled to more than 5,300 properties in 35 countries and serves a diverse set of use cases beyond naps. From business travelers taking meetings between flights, to remote workers seeking quiet, private space, the platform is designed to meet a wide range of needs. At the same time, Nappr helps hotel partners unlock new revenue streams by monetizing their unused daytime inventory.  

“We’re excited to be part of the Travel Tech community – not just to connect with other founders, but to stay on the forefront of what’s happening across travel tech,” said Lerner. “There’s real value in being able to exchange ideas, explore partnerships, and build relationships that help us grow both the supply and demand sides of our marketplace.” 

By turning downtime into an opportunity to recharge, Nappr is redefining how travelers use space (and time) throughout their journey. Their app is available to download on both stores, or you can book them seamlessly through their website.
