Ask anyone who’s ever worked from home, and they’ll tell you—it’s not always as productive (or inspiring) as it sounds. That’s exactly why hot desking has become a game-changer for professionals. After trying coworking spaces across Montreal, you’ll find that Nuage B offers something uniquely different—not just in the quality of its workspaces, but in the entire ecosystem around it.

If you’re wondering, What is hot desking?, here’s not just a definition—but what it feels like when done right.

Hot Desking, Defined Simply

Hot desking is the practice of using a non-dedicated desk in a shared space. You don’t own the desk. You just book it in advance. You walk in, choose any open spot, set up your laptop, and get to work.

At Nuage B, this means having access to a clean, bright, professionally maintained workspace without the commitment of a long-term lease. Everything is ready when you arrive—Wi-Fi, outlets, chairs, coffee, printers, meeting rooms, and most importantly, an environment designed for focus.

But Hot Desking at Nuage B Is Different

When you first walk into Nuage B, you won’t be just stepping into a coworking office space—you’ll be entering Château Saint-Ambroise, one of Montreal’s most charming business hubs.

Here’s what you’ll find only at Nuage B:

A Historic Location, Reimagined for Modern Work

Nuage B is located inside Château Saint-Ambroise, an old industrial complex turned modern business community. It’s not just coworking—it’s a fully immersive work environment. You’re sharing the building with cafés, restaurants, a tattoo shop, wellness services, creative agencies, and so much more.

Forget stepping outside for a coffee or lunch meeting—you don’t even need to leave the building.

Terrace Breaks & Canal Walks

Need a reset? Head to the terrace to catch some sun or grab a breath of fresh air. Or take your coffee and walk just a few steps to the Lachine Canal, right in the backyard. It’s rare to find a coworking space in Montreal where you can work hard and still reconnect with nature in minutes.

Yes, There’s Free Parking

This one’s a hidden gem: Nuage B offers free parking. Anyone who’s tried coworking downtown knows that just finding affordable parking can be a full-time job. At Nuage B, it’s one less thing to worry about.
