As the summer holidays wrap up, a significant 70% of parents report feeling exhausted, according to new data. In response, IHG Hotels & Resorts has launched the NOMO (Night On My Own) package, aimed at giving parents a much-needed solo getaway. This package offers a quiet retreat with no children, partners, or pets—just time to relax and recharge. Guests can enjoy a discounted stay, 20% off food and drinks (including room service), late check-out until 2 pm, and additional perks at IHG properties across the UK and Ireland.

Research commissioned by IHG shows that two-thirds of parents are feeling worn out after the summer break, with 68% saying they need a night alone to recover. Seven out of ten parents admitted to being either mentally or physically drained by the end of the school holiday season.

The desire for solo time isn’t limited to parents. The study also found that 42% of Brits, and nearly 70% of those aged 25 to 34, would consider booking a night away alone after the summer holidays. A third of respondents indicated they would book a solo stay to pamper themselves.

Abbey Clancy, model and TV personality, has partnered with IHG to promote the NOMO package. Clancy, a mother of four, said: "As a busy mum of four, I know how exhausting the summer holidays can be, and although I’m sad they’re over, it’ll also be really nice to have a bit of time on my own. Don’t get me wrong, I love spending time with my kids, but it’s just as important for parents to take a break too. I don’t want to feel guilty about needing a NOMO—a night on my own—because we all need time to recharge. And it’s not just parents, the summer is a busy time for everyone – it’s usually filled with social engagements, weddings, or travelling. So, I’m all about encouraging people to treat themselves and book into an IHG hotel for a well-deserved night off, we’ve definitely earned it!”

The NOMO package is available at over 115 participating IHG properties and includes perks such as:

• Complimentary breakfast

• Extended check-out until 2 pm

• 20% off one-night single occupancy stays

• 20% off all dining, including room service

• Free access to pools, gyms, and spas

Joanna Kurowska, Managing Director UK & Ireland at IHG Hotels & Resorts, said: "We all value some well-deserved ‘me’ time - whether it’s a break from the demands of childcare, a moment of self-reflection away from our partners or simply an opportunity to take a breath from the stress of our working life. Our survey data backs up how much people would like to enjoy a night alone, especially after a busy and intense summer. Our new NOMO package helps people to do just that, with the ability to choose from more than 115 of our hotels in the UK & Ireland and from a brand for every budget. This opportunity to switch off and be cared for, even just for a night, can be a powerful tool to finding our balance back."

Survey findings show that 26% of parents haven't had a night to themselves in six months or longer, and nearly 1 in 10 haven’t had a solo night in five years. Although 37% of parents feel guilty about taking time away from their family, 77% recognize the importance of occasional time apart.

Top ways respondents would spend their solo night include taking a bath (15%), staying in bed (14%), binge-watching a TV series (13%), enjoying a bottle of wine (12%), or reading a book (10%).
