The world of work is changing rapidly, and so are accommodation options for contractors and professionals. You’re more likely to need to work away from home than ever these days, yet hotels no longer need to be the default choice. Instead, serviced apartments offer a modern, cost-effective and practical solution which can meet a wide range of different, shifting and unique requirements. Here’s why they’re increasingly becoming the option of choice for work-related accommodation:
- Cost-effective in the long term
Especially for longer stays or where several people need to be put up, hotels can work out as more expensive. There may be discounts for extended stays in serviced accommodation, and teams can often share a larger unit cost-effectively, while still enjoying sufficient space and privacy.
- Enjoy your home away from home
Hotels never really feel like home – you can’t wander into the kitchen in your dressing gown and stick the kettle on, for example. But in a serviced flat you get comfy furniture, ample living space plus a fully kitted kitchen. This can significantly enhance the experience of being away, not least on a longer job, making staff happier and therefore more productive as they settle into a routine that quickly becomes familiar.
You’re not confined to a hotel room, so can spread yourself out and work or relax without feeling cramped.
- Essential facilities and ultimate convenience
Serviced apartments are designed to be convenient, and they are. Included facilities support both work and relaxation so minimise dependency on outside services, saving time and therefore money.
For example, there will be space to work comfortably from the accommodation with a well-lit desk and so on, and high-speed Wi-Fi typically included. Services such as laundry and cleaning are often provided, freeing up more time for work. Plus you can prepare your own meals but if you prefer, there’s also obviously the option to eat out or order in. (You could also save money by not taking clients out to eat and entertaining them in the accommodation instead.)
- Privacy with comfort
With serviced accommodation, you can host clients or hold meetings in comfort in a quiet, private place, which could make for a more relaxed conversation and be helpful if you’re discussing sensitive information, either in-person or via virtual meetings.
- Central locations to reduce travelling
Often, you’ll find serviced accommodation in central locations, making it easy for you or your staff to access them, minimising commuting time and so boosting efficiency. Equally, if you’re holding meetings with clients, they can reach you easily as well. And if you prefer to meet outside the apartment, there will be plenty of venues nearby. For example, stay in London serviced accommodation and you could take a client to catch a West End show.
- Great flexibility
Work requirements can alter rapidly, as mentioned. Serviced accommodation offers flexible booking arrangements, from one night to weeks on end with, often, the ability to extend stays in a hassle-free way. So if you need to be flexible, with plans liable to change at the last minute, these apartments offer the perfect solution.
