We don’t know about you, but us Work From Home (WFH) peeps are on the verge of pulling our hair out. Our homes are supposed to be conducive environments, but staring at the four walls 24/7 somehow triggers procrastination and unproductivity.
For those that have not taken a break from work, this is the perfect time to whisk yourself and a loved one away for a staycation. The change of environment will do you some good and it’ll provide some decompression time for the overworked souls — here’s a list of 16 beautiful boutique hotels to get you started.
