Serviced apartments are a fantastic accommodation solution for business travellers. Here we remind you why serviced apartments are great when work comes into the mix, and showcase how you can get a guaranteed accommodation solution as a business traveller by choosing one of our five London Citadines apartments.
Why serviced apartments are great for business travellers
Business travel isn’t the same as leisure travel. Your requirements of your accommodation are different. Life living out of a suitcase in a hotel can get tiresome quickly – it certainly doesn’t offer the same excitement as holiday travel does. Then there’s the laptop juggle when you need to do some work outside of an office environment. Hotel travel for business travellers isn’t ideal.
However, there are some benefits to hotel accommodation, for example, having housekeeping and somewhere to grab a coffee on site.
Serviced apartments bring the best of hotels and add in some extra benefits, especially where business travellers are concerned. If you choose serviced apartments which are designed specifically with business travellers in mind, like the London Citadines apartments, then you really capitalise on these benefits.
Our top benefits of serviced apartments for those travelling for work are:
· Flexibility and versatility
With a serviced apartment, you get exactly what you need. There’s no ‘making do’. They are a home-from-home with separate bedroom and living areas, as well as a kitchen area so that you can cater for yourself or guests if you wish. You can use hotel-level services, such as housekeeping. Wi-Fi and telephone should be par for the course. There will be options as well for short and medium term stays, meaning that whatever length your business trip, you can get what you need.
· Space
What business travellers definitely need over the leisure traveller is space. Whether you need somewhere to invite a client, or you need to be able to work in the evening, you need considerably more space than a traditional hotel room allows. With space to rest, entertain, eat and work, a serviced apartment has it all. This is particularly vital for business travellers who are in a new city for more than a day or two.
· Cost-effectiveness
Hotel stays for business travellers very quickly become very expensive. It’s simply not an economical way to enable your workers to visit prime locations. Serviced apartments are considerably more cost-effective. Indeed, you can expect to get considerably more space and comfort for your money than in a hotel. Nonetheless, all utilities etc. are included, so it’s not as complex as renting.
