As the UK’s summer season reaches its peak, if you’re planning a last-minute escape you don’t need us to tell you the accommodation you choose will have a huge impact on your overall experience. And one thing you may not have considered is a serviced apartment. Yet this sector has emerged as a resilient player in the hotel and hospitality industry, according to global real estate services provider Savills. Recent data has signalled a surge in demand and investor confidence, making this accommodation option a standout one for travellers.
Whether you’re after a romantic getaway, a family holiday or a solo break, think about swapping the bog-standard hotel room for a serviced flat. Here’s why it could make the perfect choice for you this summer:
- More space and comfort
Spread out and relax in style in your serviced accommodation. You’re not confined to a potentially cramped hotel room or two. You’ll enjoy separate bedrooms and living areas, plus fully equipped kitchens, so you’ll feel much more at home. After all, you can’t really wonder into the kitchen in your dressing gown in a hotel! The addition of facilities such as laundry and so on will make the whole experience even more convenient.
- Freedom to eat your way
Food is a key part of most holidays, and if you’re confined to eating in your hotel, you could find yourself restricted to expensive minibars, limited menus and strict dining times for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Having your own kitchen for your stay gives you the freedom to enjoy shopping locally and, for example, exploring nearby markets and perhaps trying out your language skills. Or maybe you want to be able to whip up an early-hours feast after a big night out? In serviced accommodation, you can. Equally, you’ll also have the option to sample nearby restaurants whenever you want. After all, summer holidays should be all about freedom.
For longer stays and larger groups particularly, being able to self-cater can work out to be highly cost-effective.
- Throw yourself into local life
Serviced accommodation is typically located in vibrant, central areas so that you’ll feel right at the heart of the action. Step outside and immerse yourself in it all and live like a local! The experience can be more authentic than with a hotel, which may or may not be centrally based, and which may feel somewhat anonymous or generic.
- Personalised help on hand
With many apartments, in-house concierge services can help with booking activities and other aspects of your stay, relieving some of the load of holiday planning, potentially meaning less to do before you go away.
- Flexible value
Many serviced accommodation providers cater to extended stays, sometimes with lease options, so that you’re not always checking in and out of hotels.
