Where To Work From Hotel

A hotel is the natural extension of a home office getty 2020 has not been

2020 has not been kind to the travel industry. The pandemic cancelled highly anticipated vacations, destination-worthy events (see you in 2021, Tokyo Olympics) and pretty much all travel not deemed to be essential. In the United States, the travel industry is expected to lose about $500 billion in revenue this year. That’s no small number, especially when the end of the pandemic is not currently in sight.

Hospitality industry leaders have gotten creative on how to serve the community and reduce revenue loss in the past few months, opening outdoor restaurants, accommodating healthcare and essential workers and even re-branding as office spaces while many shared workplaces are still closed. Across the nation, several hotels have launched new programs to accommodate the ‘work from hotel’ concept, taking advantage of already existing amenities (mid-day bath, anyone? mid-meeting room service?) and space to serve a local clientele, instead of travelers, who are staying at home.
