Virtual Office, Day Pass, or Private Office in Denver: How to Choose

Not sure what level of workspace you really need? Start with how often you are on-site and how much privacy your day requires. This guide breaks down the differences so you can match the right option to your schedule and budget.

Quick Decision Guide

  • Virtual Office: You need a credible Denver business address, mail handling, and optional meeting room access, but no daily desk.
  • Day Pass: You work on-site a few days per month and want a professional base with Wi-Fi and amenities.
  • Private Office: You need daily focus, a lockable room, storage, and a quiet place for calls or client meetings.

What does each option include?

Virtual Office

A local business address in Denver, mail handling, and the ability to book meeting rooms when needed. Great for new LLCs, consultants, and remote admins.

Day Pass

Full-day access to shared work areas, fast Wi-Fi, coffee and tea, lounges, and phone booths where available. Ideal for travelers and hybrid employees.
