National Hotel Slipper Day occurs on 1 March. We are indebted to Justin Bieber for the existence of National Hotel Slipper Day. We wager you were unaware. You read that correctly; this special day was inspired by a collection of widely publicised paparazzi photographs depicting the singer wearing comfortable footwear. Even more surprising is the length of time slippers have existed and the fact that they were essentially invented by the Japanese. But more on that later; for now, prepare some tea and change into more comfortable attire.
The background of National Hotel Slipper Day
In Ontario, Canada, a baby boy was born on March 1, 1994. No one knew that he would become one of the most successful pop stars of our time or that 25 years later, he would inspire a day that encourages people to travel and take vacations. Hotels.com dubbed Justin Bieber’s birthday National Hotel Slipper Day in 2019 after he was spotted wearing complimentary hotel slippers instead of sneakers for the entirety of the previous year.
Did you know that people in the Western world have been slipping their feet into slippers for over 500 years? Since 1478, the same year that the Spanish Inquisition began, people have worn slippers around their homes. However, there is much that can be said about this comfortable, practical footwear and how it has remained with us throughout the years and adapted to the needs of various countries and cultures.
Slippers, for example, are extremely common in Japan. The Japanese believe that the feet should be able to breathe after a long day of work, so they require visitors to remove their shoes at the entrance of all establishments, including private residences, restaurants, and hotels. They may provide you with slippers to wear indoors, but remember that your feet need to breathe and rest. In Europe, the 18th century was the golden age of slippers, which were typically associated with luxury and wealth, and only the aristocracy and upper classes owned a pair.
It is unknown when hotel slippers became a popular way to show guests hospitality, but they are now a staple in virtually every hotel around the world. But no one anticipated that Justin Bieber’s love for this comfortable footwear would lead to an official national day.

NATIONAL HOTEL SLIPPER DAY ACTIVITIES
Make a reservation at a hotel.
If you want the authentic experience of receiving hotel slippers upon arrival, you should plan a small excursion. Find a weekend that works for you and perhaps a guest, and reserve a hotel room for two nights. Upon arrival, don your robe and slippers to take Instagram photos with a unique aesthetic. You can carry them around the hotel in your bag and even take them home.
Buy some new slippers for home
Slippers can get dirty and worn out quickly, especially if you enjoy wearing them for comfort around the house. White slippers appear to become soiled the quickest. Consequently, visit your local mall and purchase a brand-new pair to wear for the next few months to a year. It is always possible to purchase in bulk from hotel suppliers; you just need to know where to look.
Donate a pair of cosy slippers.
When you give someone a pair of slippers as a present, you are telling them to unwind and take it easy. It is a thoughtful gift, particularly for someone who spends the entire day on their feet, so that they can return home to something cosy and comfortable. In fact, it is likely the ideal Mother’s Day gift. You are very welcome.
