[Complete Guide] Working from a Hotel Lounge!? Why LIVELY HOTELS Are Perfect for Remote Work
LIVELY HOTELS operates 12 boutique and lifestyle hotels across six brands nationwide, with a total of 1,200 rooms as of April 2025. Each hotel is designed as a place where guests can “upgrade themselves,” offering more than just a stay—delivering experiences filled with new discoveries and value.
A unique feature of LIVELY HOTELS is the “Lounge,” an open space that serves as both a lobby and front desk. These lounges are creatively designed by commercial designers and are fully equipped with Wi-Fi, power outlets, and complimentary coffee. They are open not only to overnight guests but also to those using the space for work.
While day-use telework room plans have become more common due to the rise of remote work, LIVELY HOTELS offers more than just a room. Guests can enjoy working freely in shared spaces like the lounge, providing a flexible and comfortable working style.
In this article, we’ll introduce how you can work and spend your time at LIVELY HOTELS, especially for those who may have a hard time imagining what teleworking at a hotel looks like. We’ll also share why our hotels are an ideal choice for remote work.
Why LIVELY HOTELS Are Great for Remote Work
Creative Spaces
Wouldn’t you rather work in a creative space than a plain, boring one?
At LIVELY HOTELS, both the rooms and lounges are carefully designed by commercial designers to create stylish, creative spaces that reflect each hotel’s concept.
The interior design and seating layout are also well thought out, so you can work or relax comfortably for hours.
BGM and Scents That Enhance the Atmosphere
At LIVELY HOTELS, playlists are specially selected to match the mood of the morning, afternoon, and evening.
We also use signature scents in each lounge to create a refined and relaxing environment.
*Please note that volume adjustment is not available.
Available 24 Hours a Day
The shared spaces at LIVELY HOTELS, like the lounges, are open 24 hours a day for hotel guests.
Whether you want to start early or work late into the night, you can always find a comfortable space when you need it.
High-Speed Wi-Fi and Power Outlets
It may seem obvious, but not every place has strong Wi-Fi or enough outlets.
At LIVELY HOTELS, you can count on high-speed internet and well-placed power outlets, so you don’t need to worry while working.
Free Coffee & Beer—Drink Services
All of our lounges have fresh bean-to-cup coffee machines, and hotel guests can enjoy coffee for free.
In the evening, we also offer free beer—or wine at some hotels.
Why not enjoy a beer in the lounge after work?
