A special program titled Work Perks aims to reposition some of 94-year-old Hotel Figuero's 268 rooms as day-use offices.

擁有94年曆史的菲歌羅酒店推出一個名爲“工作優待”的特別項目，將其268個房間改造成白天使用的辦公室。

According to Managing Director Connie Wang, the set-up launched in June and is a great opportunity for work-at-home warriors to get out of their houses and spend workdays in clean, quiet and socially distanced spaces that come with high-speed WiFi, unlimited printing privileges and free parking.

總經理康妮·王介紹說，六月份推出的這一項目對於在家工作的上班族是個絕佳機會，他們可以離開自己的家，在整潔、安靜、保持社交距離的空間裏度過工作日，還有高速的無線網絡、無限打印的特權和免費的停車位。

"They want a calming and relaxing atmosphere, away from the distractions of working at home," Wang said, noting that the 350-square-foot rooms sell for $129 per day, with an option to extend to an overnight stay for an additional $20. "For some people, this has become a real treat."

王經理說：“他們想要舒心、放鬆的氛圍，遠離家中的紛擾。”她指出，這種350平方英尺（32.5平方米）的房間日租費爲129美元（約合人民幣903元），多花20美元就可以過夜。“對於某些人而言，這種待遇真是太爽了。”

Take The Wythe, a boutique hotel in Brooklyn. The hotel recently announced a partnership with co-working office space company Industrious through which it is repurposing 13 second-story guest rooms to serve as offices for up to four people.

以布魯克林的精品旅館威思酒店爲例。這家酒店最近宣佈和聯合辦公空間企業Industrious合作，將13間二層客房改造成了適合最多四人辦公的辦公室。

Each of the rooms has a small outdoor terrace, and dogs are welcome. Pricing starts at $200 and goes up to $275, depending on how many people use the space.

每個房間都有一個室外小露臺，而且可以帶狗狗進入。房費從200美元到275美元不等，取決於有多少人使用這個房間。

The notion of designating hotel rooms for day-use only certainly is nothing new; Yannis Moati founded an entire company on the concept back in 2015. That company, HotelsByDay, has grown to include more than 1,500 hotels, and has seen a significant uptick in the number of inquiries for day-use bookings since the pandemic began.

當然，專供白天使用的酒店房間不是什麼新概念；2015年雅尼斯·莫阿提基於這一概念創辦了一家公司，名叫HotelsByDay。這家公司日益壯大，旗下酒店超過1500家，自從疫情暴發以來，預定日租房的諮詢量顯著上升。

Moati said the current situation will force hotels to reinvent themselves to stay alive, and he predicted that offering rooms for day-use only is one of the directions they will go.

莫阿提說，當前的形勢迫使酒店通過自我改造來維持生存，他還預測，提供專供白天使用的房間將會是酒店業發展的一個方向。
