The MHouse boutique hotel in Palma de Mallorca and The Ritz-Carlton, Abama in Tenerife offer long-stay accommodation for those who want to telecommute in a unique environment with a host of services included.
During the Covid-19 pandemic, many businesses have undergone changes and have had to reinvent themselves and rethink their business model. One of the most affected sectors is the hotel industry. An atypical summer, marked by mobility restrictions and a lower influx of tourists has generated numerous losses. With the autumn the forecasts have not improved and it is estimated that they will be, once again, hard months for the tourism sector. That is why the new trend in the hotel sector, workcation, is based on the opportunity provided by teleworking of being able to work from any location and combine it with tourism.
In Mallorca, a tourist destination par excellence, there is a hotel that has managed to reinvent itself and attract new clients. It is the MHouse hotel (Can Maçanet, 1 07003 Palma de Mallorca), part of the UR Hotels hotel chain. The main novelty they present is the launch of WORK & STAY by Mhouse, an innovative offer of medium to long-term stays for less than 999€ per month.
