If you answered “a hotel,” it may be time to rethink your options. Whether you call it corporate housing, temporary housing or serviced apartments, this alternative to typical hotel accommodations can offer significant advantages to business travelers and employers alike. Here are some of those advantages. Cost savingsServiced apartments can be more economical than hotels, particularly for longer business trips. On average, they cost 30-50% less than hotels. In addition, travelers enjoy complimentary Wi-Fi and an in-residence kitchen, further saving employers money on internet charges and meals. More spaceIn comparison to an average hotel room, we’ve found that a one-bedroom serviced apartment offers at least double the square footage. This is important for business travellers, allowing them the space they need to be comfortable on the job – because there’s nothing worse than being in a cramped hotel room for more than a few days. Complimentary Wi-FiIt’s nearly impossible to do business on the road without high-speed internet access, yet many hotels still charge extra for a basic Wi-Fi connection. Serviced apartment guests, on the other hand, enjoy complimentary Wi-Fi. Local landline calls are also included, which can save bundles over hotels that charge a surprisingly high rate for phone calls. In-house eating optionsA major expense incurred on business trips is room service and/or dining out. With a hotel stay, options for preparing your own meals are limited, since the room doesn’t include a kitchen. Serviced apartments, however, offer a fully equipped, full-sized kitchen right in the residence. Business travelers can fill up their fridge and cook meals whenever they choose, creating healthier options while saving the company money. An authentic residential experienceOne reason why an increasing number of business travelers prefer serviced apartments over hotels is that the former provides an authentic residential experience, which can feel a lot like home. The extra space, inclusion of a kitchen, housewares and sometimes a washer and dryer, comfortable furnishings, stylish décor and full amenities make for a pleasant, productive environment to get work done.
