Travel’s best offices

Travel’s best offices

If you work in travel, the desire to travel is strong. But if you’re a travel company, you need a base to start from.

This is where the industry’s best offices step in. We take a sneak peek at the companies who bring the world into their cubicles and whisk staff away with global inspiration.

 

EXPEDIA

Expedia’s offices are the newest kid on the block. Birthed just a month or so ago to lucky staff, the three levels combines high-tech corporate style with quirky meeting rooms and huge communal spaces for collaboration and consumption. It has its own DIY coffee shop, with a hipster motto of a moustache called Mister Piccolo.

The staff has been taught to be their own barista, with a recent class taught on how to conquer the bean. There is a three floor industrial concrete wall that has green foliage dripping and lined up along the ledges. The meeting rooms take their cues from local destinations.

One floor is themed around the wine regions, and meeting rooms are decked out with the ends of wine barrels. Another floor is devoted to Sydney beaches, with one room wall plastered in an aerial shot of Bondi Beach bathers with a round porthole to keep with the nautical theme. There are walls you can scrawl all over in the rooms, as well as glass partitions near desks which can be used as a see-through whiteboard.
