When the WFH Hyatt was announced by the HR Coconut Point I actually asked them on their Facebook post about this and they never responded. I interpreted 'separate, private workspace' as being 'private' from other shared common areas of the hotel, but still a shared area, especially since they said there was printing available in the 'separate, private workspace'. It would certainly be better for it to be private from everyone. I suspected they were likely using their conference area for this purpose since there aren't many uses for those areas anymore.

In the case of the HR Coconut Point the WFH rate is significantly lower than other available rates (e.g., next week it's $262/night vs. $304/night), so even for a Globalist the low rate plus free parking plus F&B credit may make it attractive.
