The best hotel lobbies to work from
Now that remote work is a thing for many of us, the laptop often comes with us in the carry on. As the lines between city break, work trip and hotel stay become increasingly blurred, it’s time for the hotel lobby to shine.
Read on for a few of our favorite hotel lobbies to work from. And check back – this is a list that we’ll continue to build as we go.
1. The Hoxton Hotel, Brooklyn, NYC
The Hoxton’s lobby resembles more of a co-working space than an actual hotel lobby. You will find Brooklyn locals having meetings, typing away on their computers, and grabbing a casual coffee. Choose between sofas or formal tables. Outlets are aplenty and their food is fantastic.

2. CitizenM Amstel, Amsterdam
CitizenM hotels (of which there are many globally) are made for the business traveler, with compact, convenient rooms and central locations. The lobbies are chic, a bit quirky, and perfect for getting work done. The wifi is fast and free (you can connect automatically), the drinks selection is great and their ‘ambassadors’ are some of the nicest people in the hospitality industry.

3. The Four Seasons Hotel, Downtown, Mexico City
One of the more upscale hotels in Mexico City, The Four Seasons has a large lobby that is perfect for plugging away. But, we prefer hanging in the bar to get some work done. If you aren’t staying at the hotel, don’t worry, just order something to drink and take a seat. It’s definitely somewhere you could spend a few hours.

4. Only YOU, Centro, Madrid
One of the trendier boutique hotels in the city, Only YOU has a great lobby that is perfect for a casual meeting or getting through some emails. Get comfortable on one of the big couches, or if the weather is nice, take those emails outside. If you are in Madrid for more formal business, book one of their meeting rooms.
