Work the Way You Want.
If you plan to work while on your Sojrn, you’ll have the opportunity to do so from afar while immersing yourself in the local culture. With a complimentary high-speed WiFi hotspot, your desk can be anywhere you like, from your own apartment to the cute coffee shop around the corner. Sojrn has also partnered with a cafe to create a Sojrn Space, so you’ll always have somewhere nearby to get work done or meet up with Chaptermates whenever you like. Think of it as your friendly neighborhood hangout.
We’ve found that this setup is ideal for the majority of people who join Sojrn. However, if you have more specific work needs, we also provide a co-working space nearby with an open desk, a rooftop terrace, print and coffee stations, 4 hours of meeting room time, and 24/7 access for an additional cost. Just be sure to choose this as an optional add-on when you book.
*If you require more time in the meeting room, we can add that on for a small fee as well.
Bienvenido a casa.
The Cuisine in Mexico City Sojrn has two accommodation options to choose from.
-
Private Housing - $4,399 | A private, centrally located apartment that comes furnished with a double bed, Wi-Fi, a fully equipped kitchen and space to work or relax.
-
No Housing - $2,399 | If you have specific accommodation needs, you may participate in the Sojrn program but arrange your own housing. While you will need to book and manage your accommodations on your own, you will be fully involved in all other facets of the Chapter and Sojrn community.
PS: If you book the Private Housing option with someone (shared bed), the second person gets 50% off of their Sojrn.
