The line between work and leisure is blurring, and hotels are taking note. "Bleisure" - a blend of business and leisure - is redefining travel. More professionals are extending work trips to enjoy the destination, while remote workers seek hotels that support both productivity and relaxation. With flexible work arrangements on the rise, this trend is only gaining momentum.
We have ourselves experienced going to trade shows and conventions, where many attendants bring their better half. And this editors better half keeps commanding a seat in the plane when nice locations are in the itinerary.
"Better half's" and remote workers typically craves relaxation which requires in-hotel amenities like spa's and more specifically in-room amenities like coffee machines and loudspeakers. We can help you with this and more from our roster of Scandinavian brands. You know "hygge" is a key part of our DNA.

How Bluetooth speakers elevate the bleisure experience
