Why Consider Serviced Apartments

WHY CONSIDER SERVICED APARTMENTS?

Because "Serviced apartments are the ideal solution for longer stays, but even for a single night they’re proving to rival city hotels"

THE APARTMENT - WHAT’S THERE:

A bedroom, hallway, living room, dining room, bathroom and kitchen. Services include weekly maid service, airport pick ups and staff available 24 hours a day. You get a flat screen TV, Sky package, DVD, discounted international phone calls, free wireless broadband and welcome pack.

THE BENEFITS OF AN APARTMENT

Space, privacy and independence: apartments typically offer 30 per cent more space than a hotel room, plus there’s no interruptions from housekeeping
Freedom and flexibility: flexible length of stay and the ability to accommodate friends and family
Pricing: serviced apartments are generally cheaper than hotels. Flexible pricing options based on length of stay, property and style of apartment suitable for the hierarchy of any company
Incremental cost savings: reduced prices for added extras such as telephone calls, internet access, dry cleaning and laundry
A home away from home: offers more of a domestic environment rather than clinical hotel room

THE HOTEL - WHAT’S THERE:

Services include 24 hour room service, daily housekeeping, evening turn down, cable and satellite TV, pay-to-view movies and games to hire, in-room wired high speed internet (24 hours costs £15). There are two restaurants, the formal Pearls restaurant and bar and the less formal Lounge.

THE BENEFITS OF AN HOTEL

Room service is on tap so there’s no need to cook and/or shop for amenities
• There are multiple food and beverage outlets close at hand
• Constant housekeeping service, short turnaround for laundry services, business centre for secretarial services etc
• There’s often an onsite spa and/or fitness centre
• There’s a permanent manned concierge and front desk for quick troubleshooting, ticket booking, local information etc

So Readers, now you can better conclude what is going to help you to enjoy your vacations this Christmas, 5 Star Luxury Hotel or a Luxury Studio Serviced Apartment, Choice is all yours!
