Google is offering its employees a new incentive to come into its Mountain View, California office: discounted hotel stays. The company is promoting $99 per night rates for its on-campus hotel to help remote employees transition into a hybrid working schedule, according to a report from CNBC. Materials sent to Google employees, which were viewed by CNBC, paint a rosy picture of having no commute with “an extra hour of sleep and less friction” when getting to work.
The hotel stays will reportedly not count as approved business travel, though. The discounted hotel rate only lasts until September 30th, but it’s not clear how much it will cost after that. “We regularly run accommodation specials for local or traveling Googlers to take advantage of our spaces and amenities,” Google spokesperson Ryan Lamont says in a statement to The Verge.
