Word Nuance & Usage
Spelled with a single 'l' ('hoteling') in American English and a double 'l' ('hotelling') in British and Commonwealth English. Unlike 'hot-desking', where workers claim any available workspace on a first-come, first-served basis, hotelling requires employees to book or reserve a workstation in advance.
