<strong>Co-working spaces: </strong>As remote work becomes more mainstream, your "office" can be at home, by the beach in the Maldives or at a cafe in Sydney. In Asia's major cities, hotels have incorporated co-working spaces to cater to remote workers and roving entrepreneurs.

<strong>Kafnu Hong Kong:</strong> Last fall, Kafnu debuted inside the Kerry Hotel in Hung Hom -- an up-and-coming Hong Kong business hub about 30 minutes from Central by MTR.

<strong>Kafnu Hong Kong: </strong>Overlooking Victoria Harbour, the communal work and lifestyle space provides direct access to the hotel's manicured gardens, as well as private offices, hot desks, recording studios, a kitchen and even a speakeasy-style whisky bar, hidden in the back of the space.

<strong>Kafnu Taipei: </strong>In February, Kafnu's second property opened in the heart of Taipei, Taiwan.<br />This time, the community isn't situated inside a hotel. Instead, Kafnu Taipei is a 12-story vertical village, which includes co-living facilities in the form of a capsule hotel and several full-size guest rooms.

<strong>Mojo Nomad:</strong> Another new Hong Kong concept is the "homstel." Opened in late 2017, Mojo Nomad brings together all the conveniences of a home with the communal, affordable ethos of a hostel. Located in Aberdeen, on Hong Kong's south side, Mojo Nomad fits right into this artsy enclave with its street art murals and buzzing ground-floor bar.

<strong>Mojo Nomad:</strong> "Mojo Nomad is the first co-living concept in Hong Kong with the ability to serve daily travelers and longer stays," Girish Jhunjhnuwala, founder and CEO of Ovolo Hotels and Mojo Nomad, tells CNN Travel.

<strong>Mojo Nomad: </strong>Though geared toward professionals, Mojo Nomad is far from a cookie-cutter business hotel. Guests will find shared dorm rooms (and optional upgrades to private rooms), a trendy 451⁄2° bar and café, communal kitchen and a Common Room with hot desks, Skype pods and productivity tools.

<strong>Mojo Nomad: </strong>So far, the hotel has welcomed a diverse set of guests, including a group of Korean exchange students, entrepreneurs from Eastern Europe and a contingent of leisure travelers. Within the next two years, Mojo Nomad plans to roll out another location in Hong Kong, plus international branches in Australia, Southeast Asia and China.

<strong>Hotel Jen Beijing:</strong> It might be situated in the China World Trade Center -- in the heart of Beijing's Central Business District -- but Hotel Jen Beijing feels more like a leisurely retreat than a business hotel. Opened in 2017, the 450-room hotel promises to deliver an adult playground, where road warriors have everything they need to balance productivity and relaxation.

<strong>Hotel Jen Beijing: </strong>Designed by international design consultancy Stickman Tribe, the aesthetic feels fresh and modern, with quirk and color in spades.

<strong>Hotel Jen Beijing: </strong>On the third floor, travelers will find Prototype -- an expansive co-working space that's open 24-7. You won't find any depressing office cubicles here. Instead, it's a mix of lounge chairs and hot desks, a cafe, private pods, stylish meeting rooms and a function room for 250 people.
