Owned / Operated
Roam created a luxury coliving experience for digital nomads and location-independent professionals, offering beautifully designed properties in destinations like Bali, Miami, Tokyo, and London. Founded in 2015, Roam positioned itself at the premium end of the coliving market, with per-night rates that reflected hotel-quality accommodations combined with the community and flexibility of coliving.
Each Roam property featured architecturally significant design, private rooms with ensuite bathrooms, dedicated coworking spaces, and curated community programming. The company's vision was to create a global network where members could live and work from any location while maintaining a consistent, high-quality experience.
Roam's approach proved that coliving was not just an affordable housing solution but could also serve as a premium lifestyle product for high-earning professionals who prioritized experience, design, and community over traditional luxury amenities.

The luxury travel market offered abundant hotel options, but none combined long-stay comfort with productive work environments and genuine community. Digital nomads earning six-figure salaries were living in budget accommodations because no premium alternative existed that understood their needs.
Roam had to justify premium pricing in a market where coliving was primarily associated with affordability. Building properties that met luxury standards while maintaining the informal, community-driven atmosphere that distinguishes coliving from hotels required careful design and operational balance.
Roam invested in exceptional property design, engaging renowned architects and interior designers to create spaces that rivaled boutique hotels. Each location reflected local culture and design traditions while maintaining Roam's brand standards for comfort and functionality.
The coworking spaces were designed to professional standards with high-speed internet, standing desks, private phone booths, and meeting rooms. This was not an afterthought but a core part of the product, recognizing that Roam's residents were productive professionals, not vacationers.
Community curation was selective: Roam attracted members through application and referral, creating a network of accomplished professionals who added value to each other's stays. Programming included industry-specific meetups, founder dinners, and cultural experiences that leveraged each location's unique offerings.
