After months of working from home (WFH), many of us would welcome a change of environment with open arms. Cafes may be at the top of the list of our go-to places to park ourselves with a cuppa, but now that “work from hotel” is a thing, we’ve got a whole new slew of options to escape the WFH funk.
For an affordable $15/day*, Furama Riverfront lets you work in their spacious Waterfall Lounge. Apart from free parking and wifi, free flow drinks and dining credits are also included and you’ll have access to a host of services such as mailing and printing. Here’s a rundown of what you can expect:
*Update as of 2nd October 2020: Prices now start from $28/day with $15 dining vouchers.
At this workation, you’ll get to work in the Waterfall Lounge, with Zen-like rattan walls and a view of a 20-foot waterfall surrounded by lush greenery. Settle into plush armchairs and let the tranquil setting provide you a peaceful headspace for a productive workday.
For those who run on caffeine, you’ll be served with free flow coffee and tea to keep you energised throughout the day. Free flow juices and soft drinks are also available for you to stay hydrated. The lounge is also running an all-day happy hour (11AM-10PM) on their alcoholic drinks – get draft beers ($10) and house pour wines ($8) to unwind when the day ends.

If you need to work till late, head to Furama Riverside’s coworking spaces at the hotel lobby which will be open 24/7. Well-lit and spacious, these coworking spaces allow you to stay on past the lounge’s closing time of 10:30PM with vending machines close by to fuel your creativity.
Included in your daily pass is a complimentary 1-hour usage of a meeting room (U.P. $50/hour) upon request. You can use it to host private meetings up to 5 pax – it has presentation equipment such as a projector, white board and writing materials. Additional hours are chargeable at $50/hour, but do note that rooms are subject to availability.
To give you a fuss-free work experience, Furama Riverfront also provides complimentary printing services up to 30 pages. The concierge will also arrange mail and courier services for free, inclusive of postage.
Those with the young un’s can bring them along and drop them off at the kid’s play area or their Safari-themed playground, Waka Waka. Your daily pass entitles 1 child to 2 hours of free play (U.P. $18) – accompanying adults can enjoy complimentary tea. Simply book your time slot at Waka Waka.
For a change of pace and environment without a hefty price tag, Furama Riverfront’s work from hotel daily pass is an affordable choice. With the slew of benefits and services, you’d also get to avoid feeling paiseh for hogging a seat for hours at a crowded cafe.
