What every PA should knowabout Serviced Apartments
Serviced 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.
The budget side of the serviced apartment market offers a range of styles to suit most budgets. At the luxury end of the market you can book an executive studio in London for around £1000 per week, including benefits like luxury toiletries, welcome hampers, CCTV, personal video entry phone, and complimentary health club membership.
