(“Hotel rooms as workspaces? It's happening," Phocus Wire on Apr 3, 2020) In the weeks and months prior to the COVID-19 outbreak, we featured a number of stories detailing hotels’ efforts to leverage largely vacant public space within the hotels as co-working space (e.g. WeWork) and offer otherwise vacant hotels rooms to travelers seeking to book a room for less than the traditional 24-hour period (e.g. DayUse.com). Now with social distancing and quarantines putting a temporary stop to co-working and leaving hotel guest rooms largely vacant, hotels are combining their workplace and day-use efforts to offering their largely vacant hotel rooms as individual day workspaces. For those who are unable to work at home, a quiet hotel room with breakfast, fresh coffee and even possibly, a craft cocktail to end the day, even if only for a few hours, presents an interesting option. We’ve seen this phenomenon firsthand here in Seattle with rooms being used by both individuals seeking a quiet workspace and local companies seeking to establish regular workspaces for employees who are otherwise unable to work at home. Even short-term rental players like Sonder are now exploring this day-use alternative. As hotels continue to explore creative uses for their vacant facilities and dormant workforces, it will be interesting to watch which of these new uses become part of the permanent hospitality landscape following the COVID-19 pandemic.
