Best work-from-hotel luxury options

Remember when remote work meant a makeshift desk at the kitchen table and dodging the sound of the washing machine during Zoom calls? Not anymore.

In Australia, a growing number of luxury hotels are embracing the work-from-hotel trend, giving professionals the chance to swap their home office for five-star surroundings — and we’re not talking about just Wi-Fi and a desk. We’re talking private suites with harbour views, in-room barista coffee, spa access after a day of meetings, and high-touch service that turns the workday into a weekend getaway.

Here’s a round-up of some of Australia’s top luxury hotels that are making remote work feel like a reward.

The Langham, Sydney

Where? The Rocks

The Langham redefines the term “executive suite.” Think sweeping views of Sydney Harbour, ergonomic workspaces, and 24-hour in-room dining (yes, your working lunch can come with truffle fries). Add to that a luxe day spa, indoor pool, and pet-friendly policy, and it’s easy to make this your most indulgent office away from home.

Crown Towers, Melbourne

Where? Southbank

High-speed internet and floor-to-ceiling windows? Check. Onsite business centre and express dry cleaning? Absolutely. Crown Towers pairs world-class facilities with serious style, ideal for working professionals who value both efficiency and elegance. After hours, unwind at the award-winning Crown Spa or indulge in dinner at Nobu — because balance.

COMO The Treasury, Perth

Where? Perth CBD

This heritage-listed haven is tucked inside a 140-year-old state building, but its approach to remote work is thoroughly modern. COMO The Treasury offers serene, light-filled rooms with custom-designed workspaces and all-day dining from your private balcony. It’s perfect for creatives, consultants, or execs seeking focus and flair.

Elements of Byron

Where? Bayshore Dr, Byron Bay

For those looking to combine productivity with peace, Elements of Byron offers eco-luxe villas surrounded by nature. Wi-Fi strong enough for streaming and Zooming? Check. Beachfront sunrises and outdoor firepits for post-work wind-downs? Absolutely. It’s the ultimate WFH (work from hotel) spot for digital nomads with a taste for nature and nurture.

The Fullerton Hotel, Sydney

Where? Martin Place

Steeped in character and elegance, The Fullerton Hotel Sydney is a luxury five-star hotel offering spacious and stylish rooms and suites. Located in the heart of Sydney’s financial and fashion district, housed in the historic 150-year-old former General Post Office building.

Why It Works

Luxury hotels have figured out what remote professionals crave: flexibility, comfort, and a little indulgence. Whether you’re booking in for a few nights of deep focus, extending a business trip, or just craving a change of scenery, these work-from-hotel options combine productivity with pampering in all the right ways.

 

The Takeaway

The rise of remote work doesn’t have to mean staying home. In fact, it’s your excuse to escape — without skipping a beat professionally. With Australia’s top hotels rolling out the red carpet for working travellers, your next “office” might come with a view, a cocktail, and a concierge.
