business centers

Where commerce concentrates

Business centers are facilities offering office services to travelers or temporary users—typically in hotels, airports, or commercial buildings.

They provide workspace, computers, printers, fax machines, and internet access for people working away from their regular office.

The term also refers to districts where commercial activity concentrates: The business center of the city has been revitalized.

In British English, spelled business centres.
