Bringing the sharing economy to hospitality services from the finest hotels across the globe.

A Fine Hour by Driftime®

Hotels sit on goldmines of underused facilities from spas to restaurants to meeting spaces but most people can't access them without booking a room. When the pandemic hit hospitality hard, we saw an opportunity to change that completely.


The untapped potential

Hotels have a wealth of facilitates that are currently underused by guests and largely inaccessible to the general public, unless you have a room key. With the impacts of tourism and the hospitality industry at the start of the 2020 pandemic, this has been evermore present.

Opening doors for everyone

Working with A Fine Hour and our partners SOHO Strategy, we collectively designed and built a booking platform that unlocks such facilities and services for anyone looking to have an experience without the room key. This opened a wealth of opportunity for locals and created an influx of business outside of the conventional hospitality model. As a result, this ensured hotels were able to continue to operate and keep the majority of staff during the pandemic.
