Flexible workspaces have been the pioneers in the field of hotelization, and are the ultimate destination offices.

In the post-pandemic world, flexible workspaces continue to appeal to occupiers with its elevated user experience. Implementing the concept of hotelization in office spaces -- cozy furnishings, well-lit coworking areas, biophilic designs and relaxed dress codes -- would entice employees to return to office, making it a destination with a purpose.

Flexible workspaces have been the pioneers in the field of hotelization, and are the ultimate destination offices. To understand hotelization, consider the main features of a grand hotel lobby:

• Comfortable and soft furnishings
• Biophilic Design
• Well-lit Coworking Areas
• Relaxed Dress Codes

With the current tenant-leaning market, occupiers should explore flight-to-value strategies and begin investing on their workplace of the future. 

This may be in the form of:

• Rightsizing then relocating to an office with a new, modern fit-out
• Engaging with flex workspace providers with locations across multiple business districts
• Consolidating multiple sites into one location

Elevating the user experience in office spaces by incorporating design elements of grand hotel lobbies would entice employees to return to office. Much like hotels, occupiers are not tied to long-term leases and may use the office spaces at any given time.
