10 Remote Work Hotel Packages Too Good to Pass Up
Work from home used to be a dream scenario—no more commute, shared fridge space, or bathroom lines. But after a year of using our kitchens as offices and giving our colleagues a sharp Zoom lens into our personal lives, we’re yearning for new work spaces—anywhere but home. Luckily, boutique hotels and resorts are taking cues from corporate campuses, offering their guests next-level work perks in addition to their typical five-star amenities. That means you can hold conference calls from a beach villa in St. Martin or a cabin in the New England woods. These new work-from-hotel packages ensure guests have access to the fastest wifi, printers, as well as hotel IT teams and even personal assistants. Weekly routines might include morning yoga or surf sessions, in-room power lunches, capped off with happy hour sunset drinks overlooking the sea (in between calls, of course). Instead of handling chores on weekends, you can immerse yourself in a destination, snorkeling, hiking, or finally taking Spanish lessons. Sometimes a change of scenery is exactly what you need to increase your productivity, so if this sounds good to you, look into these new work-from-home offers.
