Coworking spaces: Explore the what, where and why with The Social Hub

What is a coworking space? 

A coworking space is a shared workspace that’s more than just a place to set up your laptop; it’s a place where professionals come together in a dynamic environment. These spaces are all about flexibility and collaboration, offering features such as expandable meeting rooms, PC equipment and communal areas to support your preferred work style. 

What makes coworking spaces so appealing is their flexibility. You get the benefits of a professional setting without the commitment of a traditional office, allowing you to adjust your workspace as your needs change. Being part of a community of like-minded people — that you would otherwise not meet or collaborate with — is also a significant advantage of coworking. Whether you’re looking for a quiet nook to focus or a lively hub for networking, a shared workspace provides a welcoming environment to boost your productivity and connect with others.  

At The Social Hub, we have found a vibrant and multicultural environment that stimulates us every day and introduces us to people from other cultures who provide us with new perspectives.”

What are the different types of coworking space?

Coworking comes in a variety of forms to cater to a wide array of work styles and needs. Whether you’re a freelancer or running a growing business, there’s a solution that fits your individual preferences. The Social Hub offers purposefully crafted coworking spaces where a community of professionals cross paths and get down to business.

Shared workspaces are perfect for those who prioritise freedom and flexibility. With this type of membership, you become part of a broad community and gain access to coworking spaces across Europe. These shared workspaces offer a mix of quiet, private areas for focused work and lively communal environments.

For those seeking a more consistent setup, a dedicated desk offers a personal space that’s always available. This option allows you to claim a coworking space that’s truly your own, with 24/7 access to a comfortable, customisable environment where you can work and socialise.

If your team is expanding, a private office might be more suited to your needs. Fully furnished and serviced, these offices allow you to concentrate on growing your business while everything else — from cleaning to amenities — is taken care of. 

At The Social Hub, all memberships come with added perks like food and drink discounts, gym access and admission to both networking events and workshops, contributing to a healthy work-life balance.

“We chose The Social Hub for its innovative concept of community and networking. I find it very important to work in a comfortable, modern and inspiring space that allows us to develop our new ideas.”

Coworker, Arima

It’s all about flexibility (contracts too!)

From working in a quiet workspace, to brainstorming in expandable meeting rooms, the coworking revolution puts freedom and choice first. And it’s not just the spaces that are versatile. Whether you need a coworking space for a day or a more permanent setup, The Social Hub offers the freedom to choose what works best for you.

To both digital nomads and local entrepreneurs, a Coworking Day Pass offers plenty of perks. With a day pass, you can experience a full day of productivity at any of The Social Hub’s European destinations for just €19 — with no strings attached. Enjoy the comfort of a shared workspace, unlimited coffee and tea and the chance to connect with our community through events and networking opportunities. Plus, with free cancellation up to 24 hours before arrival, you’re in full control of your schedule.

For those seeking a longer-term solution, 6- or 12-month coworking memberships provide full access to a shared workspace or a dedicated desk, offering both savings and access to our international community. Whether you need a space to call your own or prefer the freedom to choose where you work each day, you can opt for a membership that fits your needs.

Work hard, play hard 

You probably know that a healthy work-life balance is essential for boosting both your productivity and mental health. Coworking at The Social Hub is designed to offer much more than just a shared workspace. One of the standout benefits of our coworking memberships is access to a fully equipped gym. Whether you prefer a quick workout before you start your day or a stress-relieving session after work, our gym helps you stay fit and energised.

We also offer free bike use (subject to availability) allowing you to explore the city or simply enjoy some fresh air between tasks. Cycling is not only great for your physical health but also a fantastic way to clear your mind before returning to your shared workspace.

Tip: Our Barcelona location offers a dedicated pool for coworkers who are willing to recharge and relax after a day of work, while enjoying the sunlight.

“I definitely like the 'mood' of an environment that is both professional and 'easy-going'. I like the possibility of being able to use different spaces.”

CEO, Synextya

Another perk that coworking members at The Social Hub can take full advantage of is our dynamic event calendar. From networking events to workshops, there’s always something happening that can help you connect with others, learn something new or simply have fun!
