Key Takeaways

  • Airbnb partnered with London-based Oneder to book workspace day passes, private offices, and meeting rooms
  • The deal marks Airbnb’s first formal expansion into flexible workspace bookings
  • The move follows Airbnb’s broader push under CEO Brian Chesky to diversify beyond overnight lodging

Airbnb just made its first move into booking desks, private offices, and meeting rooms, teaming up with London-based startup Oneder to let users reserve flexible workspace day passes directly through the platform.

The partnership marks Airbnb’s entry into a category it has never formally sold before, layering coworking-style bookings on top of a business built for overnight stays.

It lands the same week Airbnb disclosed an $81 million New York City corporate office, another sign the company is investing well beyond its core rental listings.

According to a Coworking Europe report, the tie-up extends CEO Brian Chesky’s push to position Airbnb as a broader travel and work platform rather than strictly a place to sleep. The company has already layered in Experiences bookings tied to airline loyalty programs, and the Oneder deal follows that same logic of bundling services around the traveler.

Workspace platform in focus Oneder specializes in aggregating flexible office inventory, the kind of hourly and daily desk, office, and meeting room bookings offered by operators like WeWork and other flex-space providers.

Routing that inventory through Airbnb gives remote workers and business travelers a single checkout for lodging and a place to work, a pairing that mirrors demand tracked by short-term rental data platforms monitoring longer, work-driven stays.

The expansion pushes Airbnb further from its original short-term rental identity and into a workspace category dominated by dedicated coworking brands.

How much booking volume Oneder actually drives through Airbnb’s app remains untested, and neither company has disclosed pricing or a rollout timeline for additional markets.
