What every PA should knowabout Serviced ApartmentsServiced apartments have a valuable role in the corporate accommodation market. Personal Assistants are expected to think outside the box and find alternative ways to control the travel budget. As awareness of the serviced apartments industry grows, more and more PA’s are considering serviced apartments as a viable alternative to hotel accommodation. A serviced apartment offers business travellers more choice, comfort and safety, and as much as a 30% saving on extended stay hotel accommodation. 
Instead of eating in a restaurant or dining alone in a hotel room, travellers have the flexibility to either prepare a meal, go out to a restaurant, or order in a takeaway while relaxing in front of the TV. This, in addition to the increased space and privacy you get with an apartment, can significantly reduce stress. Having the facilities to make a cup of tea when you want and prepare a sandwich is a big plus. These fully furnished apartments are often cheaper than a similarly sized hotel suite, and perfect for corporate accommodation. Apartments provide many home comforts like a fully-equipped kitchen, satellite TV, DVD player, stereo, broadband, alarm clock and hairdryer. Some apartments provide facilities like a communal area to meet other guests, self-service snacks and bar, and reception. It is the ideal environment to accommodate a visiting family or have people over for dinner. These serviced apartments are invariably stylist and the range of accommodation rates reflects the style and location of the apartment. Therefore, these apartments are ideal for VIP’s, corporate housing, temporary assignments, training, secondments and relocations. Compared to booking hotels of a similar standard, they offer significant savings for extended stays. Rates typically include: utility bills (except telephone charges), weekly housekeeping, linen and towel change, and full maintenance support. Some serviced apartment companies offer other services like laundry and shoe repair. Accommotel offers a worldwide index of serviced apartments with a wide range of styles and rates to suit most budgets. At the luxury end of the market are companies like Cheval Group where you can book an executive studio in London for around £1000 per week. This rate includes benefits like Moulton Brown toiletries, a welcome hamper on arrival, CCTV, personal video entry phone, and complimentary health club membership. 
PA Mentoring/Coaching There are many reasons why a Personal Assistant would opt for PA mentoring/coaching. If you are new to the PA profession, or have been recently promoted to work for Directors, you will benefit from the guiding hand of a PA mentor/Coach.
