Our Luxury Apartment Business Accommodation Covers All The Bases
The typical hotel once used to rate as the default option for business accommodation, but in recent years, more alternatives have joined the fray in a bid to offer something unique. Bed and breakfasts and guesthouses have become a slightly more informal and homely variation on the theme, but they share certain common characteristics and disadvantages with hotels. This has given rise to suite hotels, to address some of these shortcomings.
The Advent of Luxury Apartment Rental
Luxury apartment rental came into being as a means of providing the ideal business accommodation and to offer a package that addresses the shortcomings of all the other types of accommodation. Many businesses send their executives or employees to certain financial districts like Sandton for extended periods and they needed a viable accommodation option to cater for travelling businesspeople's unique requirements. These needs mainly revolve around an affordable medium- to long-term accommodation solution.
But why would hotel business accommodation not satisfactorily meet the needs of businesspeople over the medium and long term? Well, seen in this context, hotel accommodation has many drawbacks and these essentially boil down to:
- Space and privacy. A hotel room is confining and relatively small and once you venture into the hallway outside your hotel room, you are in a public space, so there are always people around and not much privacy.
- Cost. All types of luxury accommodation are expensive, but hotels offer little cost advantages for guests staying longer and become very expensive for guests staying weeks or months.
The Suite Hotel Alternative
Suite hotels have endeavoured to address some of these concerns and they offer a more homely type of business accommodation, offering an apartment-type layout, often with a lounge, a fully fitted kitchen and more than one bedroom; some even accept pets. However, there is sometimes still not much privacy, because suites are usually still reached via hallways, while passing the doors of fellow residents. In addition, they do not always offer any type of discount for extended stays.
The Luxury Apartment Business Accommodation Solution
Luxury apartment rental has proven effective in meeting all these challenges and currently offer the best accommodation option for businesspeople staying for extended periods. They merge the best aspects of hotel and suite hotel living while offering a sizeable cost advantage:
- You live in an apartment, like a suite hotel, but it is a private unit and it is not in a hotel environment.
- You get all the typical hotel and suite hotel amenities and services, up to five-star level.
- In order to make this option attractive and cost-effective enough to enable businesses to rent units for months on end for their travelling executives, substantial discounts apply for extended stays.
Business and Leisure Appeal
While these advantages have made luxury apartments the perfect business accommodation, they find wide appeal in leisure circles too. For much the same short-term rates as hotels, they still offer distinct advantages in terms of space, homeliness and privacy. Vacationers who want to stay for longer than a week usually benefit from substantial cost savings. In fact, we offer around 20 percent discount from the standard day rate for a stay of between one and two weeks, with a two- to four-week stay qualifying for another 20 percent and yet another 20 percent for staying longer than a month.
Therefore, it is clear why our luxury apartment business accommodation has proven ideal not just for travelling businesspeople, but also contractors, people moving house and leisure vacationers. You really do gain all the advantages of hotel, suite hotel and bed & breakfast living, rolled into one. For more information, please contact us today.
