More are checking into hotels - for work

Singapore

WITH Covid-19 profoundly reworking the office concept, hotel operators have moved to selling flexible workspace in recent months for employees not yet able to head back to the office. Hotel operators told The Business Times (BT) that they have seen a good take-up for their work-from-hotel packages, though such offers may be only a temporary fix.

InterContinental Singapore told BT that it has had 200 bookings since the launch of its package in mid-August. The hotel is now pulling in double the number of weekly bookings currently, compared to when the package was first introduced.
