"Element hotels’ new Studio Commons rooms connect four private guest rooms to a shared kitchen and living room. Aimed at groups and families, this new concept combines the benefits of a vacation rental with hotel amenities like daily housekeeping, a pool, a gym, and on-site restaurants. The new multiple-room layout brings homesharing features to the minimalist Element hotels, an eco-conscious brand designed for short- and longer-term stays." - Michelle Baran
