Remote Workers Are Renting Hotel Rooms as Makeshift Offices

Hoteliers are seeing new demand — and revenue-generating opportunities — from remote workers who don’t necessarily want to work from home, and executives say this business might have staying power. Pre-pandemic, many hotels offered daytime rates for guestrooms and other services to corporate travelers seeking short-term stays — on flight layovers, for example. A somewhat new demand for that service emerged as companies enacted work-from-home policies for their employees as a health precaution during the coronavirus pandemic.
