Kimpton Clocktower Hotel in Manchester and its sister Kimpton properties in London, Glasgow and Edinburgh have announced a new ‘Warm Workspaces’ initiative, which will see some of the chicest hotels in the UK welcome their local communities to work from their warm spaces during the winter, free-of-charge.
With a greater number of people working from home following the pandemic, the Warm Workspaces project aims to help support communities facing increased energy bills.
Throughout the winter months, the hotels will offer hot desk sessions in their meeting spaces as part of the initiative. Users will have complimentary access to a desk, WiFi and filtered water. Tickets can be booked and are completely free-of-charge, with no requirement to purchase food or drink from the hotel during the session.
Commenting on the Warm Workspaces announcement, General Manager of Kimpton Clocktower Manchester, Johan Scheepers said: “Heartfelt human connections are at the centre of everything we do at Kimpton and we believe they can make peoples’ lives better; we care for our employees, guests and the local community around us. It is of the upmost importance to us to do what we can to help everybody through the current energy crisis – so we’d like to extend our welcome to people working from home who are worried about their bills, to enjoy a change of environment in our new dedicated warm workspaces”.
Kimpton’s Warm Workspaces initiative has registered with Warm Spaces; an online directory designed to signpost anyone in need of warmth to a ‘warm bank’ this winter. All four UK Kimpton hotels join coffee shops, libraries and community centres in offering a free place to work and a warm welcome. To find out more information about Warm Spaces visit warmspaces.org.
