What’s your top tip for hosting guests traveling for work?

Hello everyone 😊,
I hope you’re having a great week!

Hosting guests who travel for work offers unique opportunities and challenges. These guests often value comfort, convenience, and a quiet environment where they can relax after a busy day.

Providing reliable Wi-Fi or a dedicated workspace can make a huge difference. Thoughtful touches like a coffee station or local restaurant recommendations also enhance their stay. 

What’s your top tip for hosting guests traveling for work?

I’m looking forward to reading your thoughts!

Warm regards,

Hi Elisa and everyone, I think it is ok to have a little workspace and wifi wheter possibile! It could be useful for guests travelling for work, in summer I have for example a table and chairs outdoor so they can decide to work en plein air!

Hi @Alessia680 😊, 

Thank you for sharing this here.

This is such a great tip! Where are you hosting from?

I believe the top things I would like (I still work a full time job) are reliable wifi, and a great place to sit down and work. I know I would be in paradise so hard to concentrate but I do love to be able to be in town and get a little work done.

Hi @Dian5498 😊, 

Thank you for joining the conversation.

I agree with you. Do you have a workspace for your guests at your property?

Hey Elisa,

What I found regarding any not just guests travelling for work, since we are living in warm climate, few bottles of water in the fridge, a bag of ice in the freezer,  smile and being available works all the time.

Specifically about the travelling guests they like the availability of printer with some printing paper, charging stations and additional monitors, a comfy chair work a long way. Fast and reliable internet connection is understandable. 

We make the ambience since the beginning: some music in the background that can help focus, working lights on, well air-conditioned.

I hope I helped you,

Happy hosting,

Branko

Hi @Branko38 😊, 

Thank you for sharing this here.

Those are important points. 😍

Has it ever happened to you that you welcomed guests who needed help printing documents?

[Branko38]

@Elisa Not all of them need printer but those that do need, they appreciate it a lot. However, many guests need their flight tickets to be printed too. 

Yet, not only because it will be needed during their stay but also looks as a proper office layout that makes all the travellers that work remotely make that "click" that we need so much

Hi @Branko38 😊, 

Thank you so much for letting me know.

You definitely have a great added feature for your guests.

Do they need your help to print, or can they do it by themselves?

1. Have dependable Wifi

If I can add a couple more...

2. Have an iron and an ironing board

3. Have a coffee station where you can at least make a quick cup in the morning before meetings without having to go out to a coffee shop

Hi @Deb5175 😊, 

Thank you for commenting here!

The iron sounds interesting.

Do your guests sometimes need to iron their clothes for work?

[Deb5175]

@Elisa Not for work, but a wedding, or just a night out to dinner where your clothes may have gotten wrinkled in the suitcase. My sister in law is going on a cruise and just found out they have no irons in the room. She was rather upset at that as she is a big ironer. If you or anyone is not comfortable with supplying an iron maybe a hand held steamer would do the trick as well.

Hi Elisa and everyone here👋 hope you’re all doing well👍 for me i think the most important to work on is making sure about their peaceful working place and quality of both WiFi and portable WiFi devices just in case of emergency or when current is cut off thank you.
