SINGAPORE – Whatever you call it – I work from the hotel, I work or “I need to go before I do something I regret to the guy upstairs who broke his kitchen floor”, running away from the home office is not just a good idea, but also just know the best for mental health.
Many of us are still struggling, up to the sixth month or more, from kitchen tables, couches, and bedrooms.
In this review, a question the writers will ask themselves is, does the hotel experience improve work or does work make the hotel experience worse?
Tourist-starved hotels in Singapore are happy to host working-at-home refugees. There are packages that adapt to users in a joint workspace.
Not a fan of the sharing economy environment? Then take a hotel room for a day.
Is not sufficient? Maybe a private suite with a living room and sofas will put you at ease, so you and a colleague or two can have a socially estranged gathering. For a fee, some places allow you to bring a pet, add a companion, or add an overnight stay.
Yes, you can work in a cafe. But it’s more about what you can’t do: in a cafe, you can’t make a hot bath in which you’ve poured sweet potions, after which, dressed in a bathrobe as thick as a bear’s skin, you eat great room service meal.
How much work you do after that is up to you.

Marriott Tang Plaza Hotel offers a welcoming view of Orchard Road
Draw the curtains and the futuristic facade of Ion Orchard greets me. On the left is the crystalline Wisma Atria, the great lady of the Orchard Road shopping centers. To the right, Wheelock Place’s distinctive cone-shaped atrium reminds me of the Christmas trees that will soon be lit up for the holiday season.
Working in the heart of Orchard Road is divine.

Hotel G, no bells or whistles, perfect for the hustle and bustle
A workation is the kind of thing you’d normally be skeptical of. For me, hotels are for high-end luxury and relaxation or just places to sleep if I’m on a budget vacation.
But with the drilling and knocking on the floor above mine for the third week, I take the opportunity to work from the Hotel G Singapore.
