The word is made up of 'über' (over/during) and 'Nacht' (night) and literally describes the action of spending the time 'über die Nacht' (overnight) in one place. The ending '-ung' turns the action into a noun.
Die lange Fahrt erforderte eine Übernachtung auf halber Strecke.
The long drive required an overnight stay halfway there.
In the context of travel and tourism, the word is often combined with certain verbs and expressions, for example 'eine Übernachtung buchen' (to book an overnight stay), 'eine Übernachtung stornieren' (to cancel an overnight stay), or 'Übernachtung mit Frühstück' (overnight stay with breakfast).

When booking a hotel, an Aufenthalt can include an Übernachtung. Aufenthalt refers to the entire visit, from arrival to departure, whereas Übernachtung specifically counts the night spent there. Aufenthalt is therefore suitable when both daytime and nighttime are included.
