The new etiquette of working in someone else's living room

There's a particular pleasure to working from a hotel lobby that you don't get anywhere else. Soft lamps, decent armchairs, staff who treat you like you're meant to be there. It's the closest thing to having a butler.

A few quiet rules

Order something every couple of hours. Don't take a video call from the lobby - use the meeting room. Tip the staff if you're staying for a full day. Treat the room like you'd treat a friend's living room - because, essentially, you are.
