Benefits of Alternative Accommodation for Employees

Are you thinking about booking a place for your employees to stay and wondering if there’s a better option than a hotel? Serviced apartments are a great alternative that many employers might not have considered, and they offer several benefits that hotels just can’t match.

 

Space

Even hotel rooms on the more spacious side can’t compare to apartments which are intended for more extended stays. More space also allows employees to decompress after a busy day in the office or in a designated area without feeling cramped if they’re working from home.

More space also means that employees can fully unpack without the place feeling cluttered.

Facilities

Hotels may often have some facilities on-site, such as a restaurant, but rooms are often lacking. If employees want to unwind in the evening after a busy day with a hot drink only to find that their room doesn’t have the facilities to make a drink, it can be a bit frustrating. Employees can either venture outside or go without. Neither of these is the ideal solution for employees wanting to unwind comfortably.

Kitchens are a remarkable aspect of having a serviced apartment. Employees will have essentials such as kettles and a full kitchen, complete with an oven, a fridge, and all of the pots, pans, and cutlery they may need.

One of the critical facilities that hotel rooms lack is a washing machine. Serviced apartments have laundry facilities so employees can easily wash and dry their clothing.

A Home Away From Home

Serviced apartments create a sense of home away from home.

Employees can come home from work and whip up their favourite dish in the kitchen with a cold drink grabbed from the fridge. They can then take a calming walk in the local area before coming home to read or watch some Netflix on the sofa.

Serviced apartments have their personalities with bespoke decorations rather than cookie-cutter hotel rooms that all look and feel the same. Depending on the flat, you can also often experience the local architecture. For example, Luxury Apartments’ Elizabeth House perfectly represents Cheltenham, with its lofty ceilings, large windows and Georgian building exterior.

Parking

Hotels in central locations tend to have limited or no parking, making parking trickier. Serviced apartments are more likely to have allocated parking, which makes things easier, particularly for employees needing a car for work.

Competitive Pricing

When booking, it’s best to book direct. We offer competitive prices, saving you from the additional commission charge applied by travel bookers. Contact us directly and chat with our team via email or phone. We are happy to help you find the best property for your needs at the corporate accommodation price.

-Weekly, professional housekeeping
-Luxury toiletries and household items
-Friendly and informative meet and greets
-Fast Wifi and a TV package
-Access to a parking spot

Thank you for a great stay in Cheltenham. The apartment was spotless and furnished to a high standard with everything we needed including a helpful guide to how to use the apartment’s amenities and appliances. The location in Montpellier was excellent. We arrived late at night from the airport and the team was very helpful with clear directions and even added the parking permit for our hire car overnight. Amazing service! Highly recommended.

Within 6 minutes walk to both CLC and town center, very convenient! Quick response to requests, service is good! Imperial garden is just in front of your window, the view is great! Only drawbacks: it’s quite noisy during JAZZ festival until late night, and no air-conditioners. Overall very nice!

I spent four months at Elizabeth house. The location was ideal as it was within walking distance to parks, shopping, pubs and gym. The staff were very friendly, professional, accommodating, and available. Housekeeping was consistently excellent. I’d definitely recommend it and would stay again if in cheltenham.

I stay at LA's apartment every time I visit Cheltenham, and it never disappoints. The terrace area (and fan) really helped us overcome the heatwave this month, it was great sitting outside during the evenings. Highly recommended!
