Business travel is needed for different reasons, from short-term meetings to long-term project relocations. Serviced apartments can offer a flexible, comfortable, and cost-effective accommodation solution in these scenarios.
From solo travellers to groups of assignees or families relocating, there are a variety of property styles and layouts to suit each stay ranging from smart studios in modern aparthotels to spacious two and three bedroom homes in a residential setting. There’s space for families and pets too and some locations offer the benefit of on-site gyms, co-working, parking and more.
We take the time to understand your company requirements (budgets, location, policies, no, of guests) along with the traveller preferences (amenities, layout, facilities, local conveniences) and align these to pinpoint the perfect option for the stay.
