In today’s dynamic business landscape, corporate travel is evolving. It’s no longer just about getting from A to B; it’s about productivity, well-being, and value. While hotels have long been the default, serviced apartments are rapidly emerging as the superior choice for modern corporate trips. At Perigon Living, we understand the nuances of business travel. Here’s why discerning companies and their employees are increasingly opting for serviced apartments over traditional hotels.
1. Unmatched Space and Comfort
Imagine arriving after a long day of meetings to a single room with a bed and a desk. Now imagine walking into a spacious apartment with a separate living area, a dedicated workspace, a dining area, and a fully equipped kitchen. Serviced apartments offer significantly more space than typical hotel rooms, providing a true ‘home away from home’ environment. This allows travelers to:
- Relax and unwind: Separate living areas mean you’re not confined to your bedroom.
- Maintain routines: Cook healthy meals, exercise, and separate work from leisure.
- Host informal meetings: Utilize the dining or living area for casual discussions with colleagues.
2. Cost-Efficiency That Adds Up
For extended stays, the cost savings offered by serviced apartments are substantial.
- Self-catering: A fully equipped kitchen means fewer expensive restaurant meals and room service charges. You can prepare your own breakfast, lunch, and dinner, significantly reducing daily expenses.
- Inclusive pricing: Utilities, Wi-Fi, and often housekeeping are included in the nightly rate, eliminating hidden fees common in hotels.
- Reduced ancillary spend: With in-apartment laundry facilities, travelers save on costly hotel laundry services.
These savings directly impact the corporate travel budget, providing better value for money, especially for longer assignments.
3. Enhanced Productivity and Focus
Business travelers need an environment conducive to work. Serviced apartments deliver on this front:
- Dedicated workspaces: Often, there’s a proper desk and chair, allowing for focused work without distractions.
- High-speed Wi-Fi: Reliable internet is a standard, essential for video calls and data transfer.
- Privacy and quiet: The residential nature of serviced apartments means less foot traffic and noise than busy hotel corridors, promoting better sleep and concentration.
4. Flexibility and Independence
Corporate travel often comes with unpredictable schedules. Serviced apartments offer a level of flexibility that hotels often cannot match:
- Flexible check-in/out: While standard times apply, many providers are more accommodating for corporate clients.
- No daily disturbances: Housekeeping schedules are typically less intrusive than daily hotel maid service.
- Freedom to live: Guests can maintain their personal routines, whether it’s cooking specific meals, having laundry facilities, or simply enjoying a more independent lifestyle
5. Ideal for Group Travel and Relocation
When multiple team members are traveling for a project, or when families are relocating, serviced apartments shine:
- Multi-bedroom options: Colleagues can stay in the same apartment, fostering teamwork while retaining individual privacy.
- Family-friendly: Provides the space and amenities families need during relocation, including kitchens, separate living areas, and sometimes even outdoor space.
- Community feel: Larger developments often offer communal amenities like gyms, lounges, or even concierge services, fostering a sense of community.
