Workspaces by Hilton at the Trafalgar St James, London

BACKGROUND Like many hotel firms, Hilton has launched a programme to rent out rooms by the day for guests to work in.

Workspaces by Hilton is available at most of the group’s properties across the UK, plus locations in the US and Canada. I tried it out at the Trafalgar St James London, Curio Collection by Hilton when the capital was in Tier 2 last December. As we went to press the hotel was still temporarily closed but Workspaces will continue when it reopens on May 17.

HOW TO BOOK Search by city at workspacesbyhilton.com then click through to your preferred property. The package is available on weekdays and weekends and prices vary by room category. The website states that rooms at the Trafalgar are available 9 am-6 pm but on my visit I was told that checkout was at 5 pm. Bookings can be cancelled for free until 11.59 pm the night before. Hilton Honors members can check-in online and go straight to the room using their digital key.
