Trade Working-from-Home for Working-from-Paradise at California Hotels
SACRAMENTO, CA [September 16, 2020]—Freed from the shackles of the office, workers are discovering that working from home can mean working from anywhere with a WiFi connection. Many of us can now exchange the drab walls of our make-shift home offices for views in beautiful destinations. Small boutique hotels in California fit the bill quite well with private, well-equipped work spaces in an array of appealing settings ranging from the beach to wine country to the mountains. A few are also offering special rates for digital nomads, including daytime bookings to use rooms for work at rates far below the average rate for an overnight stay.
White Swan Inn
If your work-from-home conditions are less-than-ideal, workday stays at the White Swan Inn in San Francisco’s Nob Hill neighborhood might be the perfect solution. With rates starting from $89 for a 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. stay (and more options available), this quiet boutique hotel offers private work spaces with many extras. You can choose to set-up shop in the conference room, the library with its French doors and private patio, or any of the guest rooms, all of which have private bathrooms, fireplaces, microwaves, and mini-refrigerators. The innkeepers will keep you stocked with beverages all day along and can even help with arranging meal services. To find your prefect remote work space, email the front desk or book online.
