Accor is the only other global operator I know of besides Hilton that has made booking Day Rooms very easy on its website.
You may want to book a day room for a long transit or if you need private space during a day (or perhaps even loyalty qualification purposes).
You can access Accor Day Room Bookings here.

The most logical need for day rooms is close to airports and preferably with hotels attached to a terminal.
You can get the Heathrow Sofitel Terminal 5 for 135 GBP for a stay from 8 AM until 6 PM.
You are eligible for all status-related benefits, such as upgrades and lounge access.
Conclusion
I tend to book a day room if I have a long transit during the daytime, as staying inside a lounge or two gets really boring after a few hours.
These may work in your favor if you arrive on an early morning flight to your destination and want to ensure that you have a room available when you arrive at the hotel (8 AM early check-in is likely not often available).
