Staying in a hotel is a common option chosen by many business professionals visiting London but in more recent times there has been a noticeable shift with companies placing much greater emphasis on reducing travel costs. Increasingly companies are attractive with serviced apartment providers and incorporating such suppliers into their RFP programs as suitable alternatives for accommodating their extended stay needs in London.Serviced apartments are regular style apartments, fully furnished and equipped, that provide a comfortable home, a bolt-hole for business travellers and secondees whilst on business in London. Commonly, there is a housekeeping service, sometimes daily but most often on a weekly basis. In terms of size they are typically twice the size of a hotel room, and provide a living space, separate bedroom and fully equipped kitchen. Most also offer broadband included in the rate.
Serviced Apartments London work out to be more cost effective than staying in hotels, with typical savings of up to 20% achievable. Savings like these are very tempting to travel managers, seeking to reduce spend and negotiate favourable rates to support their travel programs. Considerable savings can also be made when 2 bed/2 bathroom apartments are shared by two individuals, which is a preferred option by many international banks with London offices, looking to accommodate their graduate interns. Add to this the benefits for the guest; being able to lead a normal life with the same everyday freedom and choice they would have if they were at home and the serviced apartment proposition goes from strength to strength.
