Regularity is tedious. One of the best ways to increase your productivity is to work in an environment that is relaxing and stimulating at the same time.  Our psychological well-being has already been harmed as a result of the pandemic. Setting up a workspace at a hotel is a good option because many of us find it tedious to work alone at home.

It's great to be able to work from home, but there are times when you just need a little solitude. Perhaps you've been craving a change of scenery or a little self-indulgence. You can now book a fancy private room with ergonomic furniture, high-speed internet, and other advantages for a day (or longer, if you like) so that you can get your work done for a fraction of the amount you would ordinarily spend for an overnight stay. 

What is a workcation?

As remote working becomes more and more popular, workers are warming up to the idea of “workcations”. For a single day or many weeks, taking a "workcation" lets you break up your normal work schedule and experience something new. Work-from-hotel packages have been rolled out by hotels to entice remote workers who want to get away from their desks.

Workcations are the ideal antidote to burnout since they allow you to take your workplace with you wherever you go. Exclusive hotels across the world have tapped into this ever-growing trend of combining work with vacation, adapting their offerings to suit.

So if you’d like to check your emails by the pool, before sinking a post-deadline cocktail (or two), then you can choose work from a hotel that blurs the boundaries between work and play.

 What do you need to know about a workcation in a hotel?

Here are some tips on how best to work from a hotel:

?      Find out if there are any quiet areas in the hotel before choosing one as your workspace (for example, avoid rooms near elevators). If possible, choose a room with two beds so that when people knock on the door asking questions about breakfast or towels or anything else related to their stay in the hotel room next door (and trust me: they will), at least one person is awake enough to answer them. 

?      Turn off notifications and alerts on your phone or laptop so that only calls from clients make loud noises when they come through (and even those should be muted). Otherwise, every time someone texts "Hey" it'll sound like an earthquake hit Hiroshima during World War II and knocked out all power across five continents! 

?      If you're working from a hotel room, there are some things to keep in mind. You'll need to have good Wi-Fi and a reliable power supply. It's also useful to have a desk or table that you can use as an office. 

?      Make sure that your space is clean and organized so it doesn't take up more of your mental energy than necessary.

Benefits of Working from a hotel

?      It is likely that a workcation can help you shake off the monotony of daily life, reinvigorate your creativity, and increase your productivity at work.

?      If you enjoy working out during your breaks or after work hours, a hotel might be the best option for you. Keeping active while on the road is easier when hotels provide free gym memberships or access to their own fitness facilities. Access to a pool is an option to consider if you want more than just working out at home or running outside every day.

?      You’ll also find added perks such as early and late check-out privileges, in-room office set-ups, executive assistants, and the luxe hotel amenities of outdoor pools, spas, and gourmet restaurants.
