As Klang Valley residents lose their chance for a domestic holiday getaway under the conditional movement control order, hotels nationwide also feel the pinch.

Without domestic tourists from the country's most populous region, hotels in Penang, Melaka, Johor, and even Klang Valley are suffering once again.

The hotels have come up with new ideas, such as promoting the concept of work-from-hotels rather than work-from-home.

Many hotels in Penang and Klang Valley have been trying to stay afloat by promoting their establishments as workspaces.

A five-star hotel in Gurney Drive has introduced a co-working space on its premises for individuals to work and socialize, with the use of its gym and pool to boot.

"It's a space where clients can shake-up their work-from-home routine to work-from-hotel," said the hotel's communication director, Ms. Christina Tan.

Ms Tan said the "2pm Co-working Space and Personal Working Space" package allows locals to buy the RM50 (S$16.40) daily pass that comes with food credit of RM20 or a five-day pass of RM250 with RM100 food credit, gym, and pool access.

Another hotel in the heart of George Town in Magazine Road has turned its suites into meeting places with rentals of RM198 for four hours for six to eight people.

"It's ideal for small meetings, workshops, work assignments and mini seminars, fully furnished with a flip chart, whiteboard, projector screen, kitchenette and high-speed Internet access," said corporate communication manager Ng Su-Ann.

"We have converted the whole floor of six suites into co-working spaces."

A beach hotel which recently reopened after being closed temporarily is offering co-working spaces for RM45 with the option for guests to choose their desired spot - either from inside the hotel or near the beach.

"The deal comes with a working space from 10am to 9pm, set lunch or dinner with 10 percent off on the a la carte menu, free flow of coffee, tea, use of the hotel pool and fitness center, free parking and free high-speed Wi-Fi," said its marketing and communication manager, Ms Izza Syafinaz Ibrahim.
