6 Best Coworking Spaces in Brisbane

Travelling for business often means living out of a suitcase and not having an office to work out of. With limitations on hotel WiFi, small desk spaces and the distraction of television, working from your hotel room can be difficult, so why not consider hiring a desk for a day?

Coworking spaces are a growing trend for entrepreneurs, creatives, corporate travellers and startups. For business travellers, coworking spaces can provide the feel and atmosphere that your office normally would, saving you from having to rely on hotel or cafe wifi to get important work done between meetings. If you’re heading to Brisbane for a work trip soon and are hoping to maximise productivity in your down time, Brisbane has a collection of great coworking spaces for individual work as well as boardrooms for any meetings you need to host while you’re away.

1. Gravity
140 Creek Street, Brisbane City, QLD 4000

If you find yourself in the heart of the Brisbane CBD for your business travel, consider visiting Gravity. Gravity has a number of features suitable for business purposes – the high speed internet connection and video conferencing boardrooms allow you to host client meetings, as well as check in with colleagues back home. There are also private booths for individual working as well as an on-site restaurant, bar and cafe.

Gravity offers different memberships depending on your business needs. A casual membership allows you to drop in at anytime and only pay for the day that you use the space, suitable for travellers visiting Brisbane for business on one-off occasions. If you travel to Brisbane for business often, a part-time membership might be more ideal. A part-time membership allows you to use the space for up to three days per week.
