The A-Z of
servıced apartments
For many people whose workload demands that they spend short or extended periods away from home, serviced apartments could be the best option.
MICHAEL SCANLON
explains everything you need to know
a
Amenities. It’s important that you have all the necessary tools at your disposal to both perform your job well and to unwind afterwards.
Serviced apartments are all about giving you the best of both worlds, providing you with all the things you’d expect from a hotel but with the added creature com- forts that you’d find at home.

Bespoke.Most properties in the serviced apart- ments sector now include WI-FI internet access as standard as well as air conditioning, a fully fitted kitchen, widescreen TVs, Blue Ray DVD Players and parking facilities, but if you’re
looking for something extra most needs can be accom- modated, from iPod docks and games consoles to presen- tation facilities and contemporary art.
Corporate Bookings. Impressing clients is vital in business; it can often be a deal clincher, so it follows that the type of accommodation you pro- vide potential clients has to be up to scratch. If the type of accommodation you provide does not adequately reflect the professionalism and integrity inherent in your business it doesn’t matter how good you are, you could be fighting a losing battle. Citybase Apartments offers great deals on corporate bookings, providing greater
freedom, privacy and space than a hotel room. With a portfolio of properties situated in hundreds of the world’s most popular city destinations they can accom- modate requests from the UK and beyond.

Daily Polls. So dedicated to meeting customers needs is Select Apartments that it now hosts daily polls: “The direct feedback we receive from poll- sters is valuable to us,” said Adrian England of
Select Apartments. “It will influence our future deci- sions, such as customer preference for personal check-in support.” Participating in the polls will give you the opportunity to shape the future of the serviced apart- ment industry for the better.

Europe. Everyone knows that going abroad for work can be stressful, and if your grasp of the local language isn’t all it could be, that stress can be detrimental to your work. For this reason
serviced apartments across Europe are very popular with UK businesses. Adina Apartment Hotels, who has serviced apartments in Denmark, Germany and Hungary, has seen an impressive occupancy rate at one of its Berlin proper- ties in the last 12 months. “We are delighted with how well our properties have performed despite the difficult times,” explains Adina’s director for Europe, Andrew Hunter.
