What is office hoteling software?
Office hoteling software lets employees reserve a specific desk or workspace for a defined time instead of relying on permanently assigned seating. It helps teams plan office days and helps workplace leaders understand demand across desks, rooms, and parking.
Reservation-led
Employees book a specific workspace for a day or time period before they arrive.
Flexible seating
Shared desks can serve more people without assigning every employee a permanent workstation.
Demand visibility
Workplace teams can see when and where capacity is needed rather than planning from anecdote.
Hoteling inside Slack or Microsoft Teams
Officely connects the reservation to the wider office day: who is planning to attend, which desk they need, and which other resources support the visit. The daily employee experience stays close to the collaboration platform rather than a standalone workplace app.
Slack
Book resources and coordinate office days in the same workspace employees already check.
Microsoft Teams
Keep desk booking and workplace visibility in Teams. Feature availability can differ from Slack, so validate must-have workflows during a trial.
Office hoteling versus hot desking
Office hoteling usually means reserving a specific workspace. Hot desking can also mean choosing any open desk on arrival. In practice, many hybrid teams use both terms for the same flexible-seating program.
Advance reservation
Use hoteling when employees need certainty about where they will work before commuting.
On-arrival choice
Use a hot-desk model when teams are comfortable choosing from available desks when they arrive.
Team coordination
Whichever label you use, show who plans to be in so the office day is useful, not merely bookable.
Space planning
Review demand by day and location to understand whether the flexible-seating setup matches actual use.
