Hilton has revealed UK travel trends they expect to see in 2025AlamyThe study was conducted by Hilton[/caption]
And it’s not just having their own bed which is important, as 11 per cent have even booked different rooms.
Almost half (47 per cent) have done this to make sure they have a good night’s kip, and 28 per cent have done have different ‘sleep preferences’ to their partner.
The study, commissioned by Hilton, is part of its 2025 Trends Report which has coined eight new terms for emerging travel behaviours, with the trend of couples who book different rooms or beds described as ‘The Great Sleep Split.’
More than 13,000 adults from Australia, Brazil, China, Germany, India, Japan, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Türkiye, UAE, UK, and the US took part in the hotel brand’s global report.
Simon Vincent, executive vice president and president of Europe, Middle East and Africa at Hilton said: “Our 2025 Trends Report shows that resting and recharging continue to be primary motivators to travel, and exploring nostalgic destinations with family and friends is on the rise.”
Another relationship trend to rise in 2025 is the ‘Ex-cursion’, which found 34 per cent of people book a trip with friends immediately after going through a break-up.
While 45 per cent of parents indulge in ‘Nostalgications’ – taking their kids to destinations they visited as children.
Additionally, 51 per cent are now choosing to take their children away based on the places they always dreamed of exploring when they were young.
Solo travel has shown no sign of slowing down, with the separate Hilton study of 2,000 UK holidaymakers finding 34 per cent are yearning to go on a solo adventure before the end of 2025.
With this trend described as ‘Me-mooning’ in the trends report.
And while 21 per cent are out to meet new friends, the research, carried out through OnePoll, found 12 per cent are looking for a little romance along the way.
EIGHT TRAVEL TRENDS FOR 2025, ACCORDING TO HILTON REPORT
1. The Great Sleep Split – Booking separate rooms or beds on a holiday, so you and your partner can get a better night’s sleep 2. Me-Mooning – Going on a solo trip that is all about you 3.

7 days agoWorld LeaksComments Off on Pretty Wetherspoons in former ‘super cinema’ named one of the UK’s best pubs by CAMRA
A WETHERSPOONS pub had made the shortlist for the UK’s best pubs.
The Savoy in Swindon has been shortlisted in The Campaign for Real Ale’s (CAMRA’s) Good Beer Guide 2025.

The annual guide looks at thousands of pubs across the UK, with hundreds making the shortlist.
And the Swindon Wetherspoons has made the shortlist.
Also the oldest Wetherspoons in Swindon, The Savoy is in a former cinema built in the mid 1930s.
The ‘super cinema’ seated as many as 2,000 people, with showings including the “best films across Britain and America” as well as stage shows and cinema clubs.
The Art Deco cinema sadly closed in 1991, before being converted to the Wetherspoons under the same name in 1996.
Not many of the original cinema features have remained in tact.
The pretty exterior has been restored, with the large billboards and double doors on the front.
Only the ground floor remains, although the pub has beautiful curved bookcases lining the main drinking area as well as vintage movie posters on the walls.
And like most Wetherspoons, it also has arcade machines and the classic Spoons carpet.
According to CAMRA: “The long bar has a very large selection of well-kept beers.
“The atmosphere is friendly and it is close to theatre, cinema, restaurants and shopping.”
It’s ranked highly with previous punters too, with many giving it five stars for great service as well as being cosy and spacious.
One said: “The food was excellent one of the best Wetherspoons I have been to.”
A second wrote: “One of the better Wetherspoon spots! The staff are exceptional and truly deserve 5 stars for their service.”
Someone else agreed: “This is a great Wetherspoons, it’s in an old cinema and has loads of character.”
Another simply said it was their “favourite Swindon pub”.

It’s not the only amazing Wetherspoons pub to visit in the UK.
FREE refills - Buy a £1.50 tea, coffee or hot chocolate and you can get free refills. The deal is available all day, every day.
Check a map – Prices can vary from one location the next, even those close to each other.
So if you’re planning a pint at a Spoons, it’s worth popping in nearby pubs to see if you’re settling in at the cheapest.
Choose your day – Each night the pub chain runs certain food theme nights.
For instance, every Thursday night is curry club, where diners can get a main meal and a drink for a set price cheaper than usual.
Pick-up vouchers – Students can often pick up voucher books in their local near universities, which offer discounts on food and drink, so keep your eyes peeled.
Get appy – The Wetherspoons app allows you to order and pay for your drink and food from your table – but you don’t need to be in the pub to use it.
Taking full advantage of this, cheeky customers have used social media to ask their friends and family to order them drinks. The app is free to download on the App Store or Google Play.
Check the date – Every year, Spoons holds its Tax Equality Day to highlight the benefits of a permanently reduced tax bill for the pub industry.
It usually takes place in September, and last year it fell on Thursday, September 14.
As well as its 12-day Real Ale Festival every Autumn, Wetherspoons also holds a Spring Festival.

EV DRIVERS have been warned of potential fire hazards as reports came in of cars blowing up after being flooded during Hurricane Helene.
Motorists are being urged to either move their car urgently or report them to authorities if it’s not safe to do so.

The powerful hurricane made landfall in the south-eastern US late last week, with the Carolinas bearing the brunt of the storms.
At last count, 95 people were confirmed to have died across six states stretching from southern Florida up to Virginia.
The city of Asheville in North Carolina has also been cut off as rising floodwaters made roads impassible and knocked out electricity and phone networks.
In the midst of the chaos, reports have emerged that the saltwater flooding has caused fires and even explosions in electric cars.
Most modern EVs use lithium-ion batteries thanks to their energy efficiency and relatively compact size.
However, lithium is highly reactive with water and, while perfectly safe in normal conditions, can have explosive consequences if exposed to it.
Local officials are asking EV owners to move their cars to higher ground and out of the reach of flooding where possible.
However, drivers should bear in mind that it is never safe to drive through flood water, even in an internal combustion car.
If you are unable to safely move your vehicle, you should report it to the local authority as soon as possible.
The warning applies to full-size EVs as well as smaller vehicles like golf buggies if they rely on battery power.
Thankfully, the storm is expected to wane throughout the day and dissipate by tomorrow.
But the cost has still been high with an estimated 4.6 million households hit by power cuts and up to £74billion ($110billion) of damage caused.
President Biden has declared states of disaster in Florida and North Carolina, with the latter seeing its highest hurricane death toll in 35 years.
If you fear that your area is about to be flooded, government advice is to turn off your gas and electricity where safe to do so and move to higher ground.
You should also consult your local council’s advice and access a community flood plan if you have one.
Advice is also available online from the National Flood Forum and British Red Cross, or by calling Floodline on 0345 988 1188.
During a flood, try and stay at the highest point possible and keep exits clear in case you need to escape rising water.
Do not touch any electrical sockets or devices when standing in water.
It is also strongly advised that you do not attempt to use flooded roads as you could be left stranded – remember the water may be deeper than it looks.
If your home is flooded you can apply to your local council for temporary accommodation until it becomes habitable again.
Emergency funding has also been sent to Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina and Tennessee.
The US National Weather Service dubbed Helene, the “worst event” in its 154-year history.
A spokesperson said: “We are devastated by the horrific flooding and widespread wind damage that was caused by Hurricane Helene across our forecast area.”
