The first step to rent a workspace by the hour is to head over to the Peerspace homepage. Once you’re there, start by inputting the type of gathering you’re planning and the location where you’re planning it, and then submit your search. You’ll see that the results will include both dedicated workspaces and flexible spaces that are suitable for a work session in addition to other purposes (such as events or creative projects).

Once you’ve done this, the next step is to narrow your search results so that you don’t waste time looking through lots of listings that don’t fit your requirements. Luckily, the straightforward Peerspace search tool makes doing so incredibly easy. You can filter your search according to the following criteria:

  • Price per hour
  • Planned number of attendees at your work session or meeting
  • Date you’re planning on renting
  • Keywords in the listing
  • Access to outdoor spaces
  • Included interior spaces
  • Availability of production equipment
  • Style of the space (such as modern, vintage, rustic, luxury, etc.)
  • Space type
  • Amenities (such as a fireplace, exposed brick, a library, etc.)
  • Possibility of instant booking

Next, we share how Peerspace venue listings provide all the information you need to feel confident about booking a workspace.

Once you’ve done that and limited your search only to results that suit your criteria, the final step is going through those results one by one to find the perfect location.

Luckily, that process is also easy and enjoyable, because every listing includes plenty of high-quality photos of the space as well as a detailed description of what it’s like that’s written by the host. Many of the listings also come with honest, in-depth reviews from those who’ve rented the space before.

Plus, if you have any questions about a prospective workspace after seeing all the info in the listing, it’s not hard to reach out to the host directly and open up a correspondence!

If you’re hoping to get a better sense of the kinds of workspaces that you can rent through Peerspace, check out these three lovely examples, each of which is based in a different part of North America:

Modern meeting and workspace studio in downtown Toronto

This 1,100-square-foot multi-purpose space is the Canarts Media content creators’ studio, conveniently located right in downtown Toronto. The whole studio feels light and airy, with an open floor plan, 10-foot ceilings, and five large windows that let in tons of natural light. It’s also full of fantastic amenities to facilitate your work session, like high-speed WiFi, a 65-inch Smart TV, two large speakers with a switchboard, and more.

Plus, it’s a beautiful place to be: there’s multi-color LED lighting that you can control from an iPad, there’s a stunning living wall feature, and all the furniture is modern and designer for extra class. And if you happen to get hungry while you’re working, there’s a kitchen with a fridge, microwave, coffee maker, and kettle. The space accommodates a maximum of 30 people, which should be more than enough for your average work session.

Considering you get all this for just CA$100 per hour, it’s no wonder this workspace has more than 80 glowing reviews. To quote one reviewer who booked an off-site here: “A truly wonderful space to host professional meetings without compromising the creative nature of our business- this multifunctional space affords it all! Our clients felt at ease and left with nothing but positive feedback about the experience.”

Collaboration room for remote teams in Roswell, GA

This awesome collaboration room is “configured like a team office with 6 sit-stand desks, monitors, and an oversized whiteboard for all your ideas and brilliant solutions.” It’s made to be as flexible as possible, so everything is on wheels and you can arrange things to your heart’s content. There are two 55-inch monitors outfitted for presentations and Zoom calls, and the hosts also note that “virtually everything is included, from fiber internet to coffee”–which means you can plan your next work day without worrying about all the details.

But what’s it actually like to rent this space? One reviewer who booked a workshop for three people here commented on their experience: “The space was perfect for what we needed. The tables and monitors were mobile and worked really well for how we ran our meeting. The staff was friendly, helpful and always available. I would definitely use them again in the future.” Another simply wrote, “Very nice space…everything worked well. Will make it part of a normal routine.” At the super affordable price of $49 per hour, it’s definitely worth considering if you’re anywhere nearby.

Classy event space in Houston, TX

This is a multi-use space, meaning that it’s a workspace that’s also attractive enough to be billed as “a chic, imaginative, creative event space” at the same time. It’s based in Northwest Houston’s Vintage Park, which is an “upscale lifestyle center” that’s within walking distance of bars, entertainment, and a diverse array of fabulous restaurants.

It’s also convenient, as there’s free parking included with your rental, ultra-accessible public transport, as well as close proximity to a number of major highways.

These are just a few of the thousands of workspaces available for rent through Peerspace, so if you’re hoping to rent a workspace by the hour, definitely search the site for options in your region. You might just find the space that empowers you to have your most productive day of work yet!
