For those who can't quite switch off but are done with working from home, here are some work-from-hotel offers to check out right now
Dubai's hospitality scene has entered its "workation" era and we're so here for it. Who doesn't want an "office" that comes with pool access, spa discounts and a skyline or sea view?
Recently, hotels across the UAE have started actively promoting irresistible offers for remote workers and hybrid employees with packages that blur the lines between work and holiday.
So, here are some of our best picks for work-from-hotel deals you should check out right now:
Fairmont The Palm
Priced at Dh600 per night, the Fairmont Workation is tailored to residents and long-stay guests who want to remain productive while enjoying a change of scenery.
Some of the perks include daily credit, fully redeemable across dining and spa. Guests receive 50 per cent of their stay back as resort credit to spend across the hotel's restaurants, spa and leisure experiences.
And a little birdie tells us there are possibilities of room upgrades, while early check-in from 9am and late checkout until 7pm help stretch out the stay.
