Work From Hotel (WFH!) - The New Remote Work Standard I Seattle Real Estate Podcast

Is WFH - Work from Hotel, the new Remote Work Standard??

The kids are yelling for attention, the dog needs a walk, the laundry begs to be done and what's for lunch???

Many US workers have had no choice but to adapt to working from home in recent months since offices shut down due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

And for many, the lack of structure and boundaries is taking a terrible, emotional toll. A new option awaits if you want to shake up your WFH routine: Work From Hotel (WFH).

Leisure travel to downtown Los Angeles has sagged during the coronavirus pandemic, but guest rooms at the 94-year-old Hotel Figueroa are hot commodities as always.

These days, however, most guests are locals taking day trips from home so they can work.
A special program titled Work Perks aims to reposition some of the hotel's 268 rooms as day-use offices.

According to Managing Director Connie Wang, the set-up launched in June and is a great opportunity for work-at-home warriors to get out of their houses and spend workdays in clean, quiet and socially distanced spaces that come with high-speed WiFi, unlimited printing privileges and free parking.

"They want a calming and relaxing atmosphere, away from the distractions of working at home," Wang said, noting that the 350-square-foot rooms sell for $129 per day, with an option to extend to an overnight stay for an additional $20. "For some people, this has become a real treat."
The "Fig," as it's known locally, isn't the only traditionally overnight accommodation pivoting toward day-use during the pandemic; across the country other properties have taken similar leaps. Strategy behind these moves is simple: Hotels will try anything to offset revenues that have dropped as much as 50 percent since public health-driven shutdowns began in March. As a result, hotels have started a host of new revenue streams at a time when every dollar counts.
