There are coworking spaces with co-living accommodation in the world that somehow manage to offer a table, chair, internet connection, and place to sleep for $99. If you’re on a shoestring budget and willing to live in an Asian shoebox outside a major city, you’d be amazed how cheaply you can live and work.

That may be an admirable setup at the beginning of your career when your time isn’t valuable and you just need some breathing room to launch a business or develop your skills. However, as you grow and begin to look at larger business opportunities, cheaping out quickly stops being worth it.

Your environment directly contributes to your sense of well-being. It’s hard to draw inspiration from a moldy ceiling, or even your average drab cubicle. Potential clients are also going to be unimpressed if your office’s electricity goes out halfway through your meeting. Sometimes saving money comes at the cost of your earning potential. Cheaper isn’t always better.

A coworking membership isn’t strictly an expense. It can also be seen as an investment in your career or business. Whether you’re looking for a prestigious workspace to impress clients, network with highly successful entrepreneurs, or just enjoy a lavish work environment, you’re sure to love these 4 luxurious coworking spaces!
