hoteling
n.— «Currently about 300 of its 415 trademark attorneys are teleworking and hoteling. The latter means they work from home most of the time and are required to come into the office once a week for anywhere from one hour to one day. They use the term hoteling because office space, which has been reduced because folks have their offices at home, is reserved by the hour or the day.» —“Hoteling Your Way To Happiness” WFED 1050 AM (Washington, D.C.)
