Just like at home?

Faced with the success of accommodation platforms between private individuals and to meet the desires and aspirations of the «millennials», hoteliers are redoubling their imagination and breaking the codes of the traditional hotel business. The objective is to remove the barriers between hotels, to make them a place frequented by everyone, whether or not they reside in the establishment. Much more than just comfortable rooms and impeccable service, they offer their guests an experience: concerts, exhibitions, cocktails, DJ sets, sports coaching, cooking classes... all this in a very neat lobby with everything they need to promote «living together». People come here to have a drink, to live the neighbourhood, to work and even to do business. In a word, we come here more and more, but not necessarily to sleep and we choose to stay here because we like the unique personality of the place. The big brands are not mistaken, and they also bet on the lifestyle trend by rethinking their offer, personalizing each establishment and taking care of every detail in this sense.
With this objective in mind, the outfits of concierges, housekeepers, barmen... have also been rethought. It is no longer a question of wearing the traditional three-piece suit with four pins, which puts too much distance between them and the guests, but on the contrary, to have outfits that are in the spirit of the times: jeans, sweatshirt, cap and basketball are de rigueur and even the valets are now exempt from the traditional hood, they have switched to oilskins and a cool cap.

It's THE big trend of the moment: coworking. Workspaces, but not only workspaces. The concept is to offer the users a multitude of services and possibilities that will allow them to work in a favourable and warm environment where professional and extra-professional life mix without limits and where contacts, exchanges and mutual help between «co-workers» will be legion. Initially frequented by independents, freelancers and start-ups, coworking spaces are becoming more and more attractive to large companies, which are realising that the atmosphere there is also a vector for emulating teams that are no longer restricted by schedules, sinister offices and a no less sinister coffee machine. Co-workers can settle wherever they want: inside, outside, isolate themselves if necessary, they can drink healthy drinks and organic coffee, they can attend a yoga session, participate in a conference on well-being, attend creative workshops but also have fun or take a little refreshing break: they are free to think about themselves, even at the office!
This atmosphere without great constraints often goes hand in hand with a better performance of the employees and a greater adherence to the company's values. To such an extent that it is no longer taboo or even normal to wear clothing in the company's colours, but on one condition: that it be cool and comfortable!
