The Benefits of Working from a Hotel: Why It's the Best Kind of WFH

Welcome to business travel The Gate hotel way. We’ve created a healthy and welcoming space where it’s as easy to get things done, as it is to take a break and do nothing at all. Explore more of what makes The Gate great for business travel and co-working in London. 

Clear Your Mind, Clear Your Inbox – Every apartment at The Gate is designed to feel like home, but with a spacious desk, built in USB plug-points, and high-speed Wi-Fi that makes it easy to double as your own personal office space. Workspaces fit with our luxury aparthotel design ethos, are free of office distractions, and depending on the room choice, offer big views of the big city. Not only is the Wi-Fi included in your room rates, connecting is hassle-free and it’s fast enough for videoconferencing and remote working.

Central Without the Crowds – Our Whitechapel location makes it easy to connect for business in London but without the central London crowds. We’re a two-minute stroll from the nearest tube station, Aldgate East, and within walking distance from the City. Get from our front door to the Gherkin or the Shard in under 20 minutes, Oxford Street in under 25 and Canary Wharf in less than 30. Best of all we’re neighbours with Brick Lane, Shoreditch, Hackney and Hoxton. Offering a more laid-back London vibe, our neighbourhood is the perfect place to end your workday with some of London’s best eateries and drinking spots waiting for after-work discovery. 

Exclusive Co-working – Guests of the hotel get access to our Members’ Lounge. A residents-only lounge that’s been reconfigured to ensure extra space, the convenience of co-working, and more privacy. Connected to the lounge is the hotel’s Terrace, an outside space that’s great for some blue-sky thinking. Throughout the hotel’s co-working areas, a curated collection of art adds to the experience. An all-day menu and a self-service bar makes it even easier to tick off your to-do list without interruption, so whether you’re here to meet or just to eat, the Members’ Lounge has you covered. 

Cleaner Than Ever – For extra peace of mind we’ve increased our already thorough cleaning schedule to ensure that hotel hygiene isn’t something you have to worry about. Check-in is personalised, but contact-less; you can expect the same high-level of service from our team, but with your safety in mind; and we’ve created more space throughout common areas to ensure you can relax. 

Everything You Need – Our apartments and studios are well-equipped for long-stay work trips to London but are just as convenient for short stay. With your own kitchen and laundry facilities in your apartment, you decide how much contact you want to have with outside services. Eat-out, order-in, or cook for yourself, the choice is yours.
