If it's anything like Regus in the UK it looks like a very different experience. The offices are part of a larger group office. You need to check in at the front desk. The environment is much more "corporate" - office desks and chairs, plus no en-suite toilet, etc.

Very much not "your" space.

I'd love something like this in London. I live about 2.5 hours out of London, and when I come in for client meetings or on-sites having somewhere to decompress for a couple of hours, grab a shower and a nap, and get some work done in the quiet, would be fantastic.

There are such places already in London, though you might not like the prices. The more business-focused private members' clubs typically have offices, meeting rooms and bedrooms available (for rent) as well as the kind of bar, restaurant, reading room facilities you might expect.

Yeah ;-) There are solutions. Members clubs. Plain old hotel rooms. But mostly the price-point is way to high for an hour or two. The overhead and friction in booking and checking in is also substantial.

I've got a Regus gold card. The number of times I've actually used it in the last 18months - zero. Because the friction in actually making a booking and getting something sane out the other end is so high. I find especially memorable the time where I was running on EST in London and wanted to work at night, was told verbally that Regus has 24 hour office space at X address, only to show up to find a confused security guard and no access ;-)

So it seems like a gap in the market to me !

Hi adrianhoward. I'm glad you appreciate the difference (I'm the founder of this company), and I wanted a seamless experience, which is why we made it that way.

Breather is designed to allow you to pop in and out of private space while around a city, and it works really well. I hate talking to people when I check into things (hotels, airports, etc.) so we designed this as self-serve.

Come try it out sometime. Here's a coupon for you: HACKERNEWS.
