Serviced apartments in Edinburgh are rapidly becoming the first choice for visitors here. The freedom an apartment from Serviced City Pads affords visitors, as well as the space, gives them the  ideal balance between the high quality finish of a fine hotel and the convenience of an ensuite bedroom.
Moreover, staying in a serviced city apartment in Edinburgh not only allows you to experience Edinburgh at your leisure but also gives you added bonuses in the evening. Whereas with a hotel you usually get just a bed and a TV, with a serviced apartment in Edinburgh you’ll get DVD players and Internet access where available.
Onsite parking is a big issue in many capital cities and where we can, Serviced City Pads has provided it. This helps you when you’ve had a long drive exploring the Lothian countryside or spent an afternoon shopping in the historic town centre. Beautiful buildings surround the city and it is these kinds of attractions that make the city such an enjoyable one to explore.
Once you have enjoyed the day’s explorations you can try out some of the city’s bars. Why not grab a pint of ‘heavy’ and discuss the beauty of the Scottish countryside? After an evening’s entertainment and chat you’ll be able to come home to a lovely serviced apartment with all the facilities you need to relax.
Our quality bathrooms offer you the chance to unwind and then wrap yourself up in the softest of towels before snuggling up for the night in our comfy beds, what more could you want?

The Clifton suspension bridge is a must see attraction for any visit to Bristol. The bridge, which is one of the most famous landmarks in the UK (incidentally it is this bridge that is featured on Serviced City Pads Bristol homepage), spans the stunning Avon gorge and is the main symbol of Bristol. The hisory of the Clifton Suspension Bridge spans back to the mid 18th Century, and was Isambard Kingdon Brunel’s first major commission, but unfortunately he never got to see his completed vision which was finished in 1864 (Brunel died in 1859). The bridge cost £100,000 to build and is mainly made up of wrought iron and Bristol Pennant stone.

If you are staying in an apartment in Bristol you can take a guided tour of the bridge. Each tour takes about an hour. These tours are also useful for school children who visit Bristol. For more details go to www.clifton-suspension-bridge.org.uk.

Views from the Clifton suspension bridge along the River Avon are incredible. Infact the bridge is at it’s most spectacular at night time as it is illuminated

The Clifton suspension bridge links two areas of Bristol: Clifton and Leigh Woods. Clifton is a fashionable district of Bristol with a number of serviced apartments, wine bars and restaurants. If you plan to visit Bristol, staying in Clifton would be a good alternative to staying in a hotel in Bristol city centre.

Novotel opens a new hotel in liverpool city centre on 2nd November 2009, adding 209 hotel rooms to Liverpool’s growing city centre. This hotel is situated in Hanover Street and located just a short walk from Albert Dock, ACC Arena, as well as many bars, restaurants and the new Liverpool One shopping centre.

The 4 star Novotel opening will follow quick on the heals of Hilton opening up a flagship hotel just 200 yards away in Liverpool city centre.

Serviced City Pads a Liverpool based company that has multi city apartments listed on it’s website www.servicedcitypads.com feel that another 4 star hotel in Liverpool will benefit Liverpool’s overall accommodation offering and that more hotel rooms isn’t necessarily a bad thing for the stronger serviced apartment operators in Liverpool.

Chris Rose, Director at Serviced City Pads commented, “We do a lot of business with the Bridgestreet at Liverpool One serviced apartments. They have a fantastic offering and run a very good operation. In the longer term companies like Bridgestreet will benefit from additional hotel rooms as more companies start to use Liverpool for conferences and conventions. Business will grow. Of course, there may be some short term pain, but we expect the fittest to survive and prosper in a quickly maturing accommodation market in Liverpool.”

Serviced City Pads only currently list serviced apartments on their site. They dom however, plan to add hotels in Liverpool and Manchester to their offering within 6-9 months and hope to work with Novotel Liverpool in the future.

There are many benefits to leasing a serviced apartment in Edinburgh, not least the luxurious surroundings an apartment offered by a company like Serviced City Pads can provide. If you’re visiting Edinburgh on business selecting an apartment over a hotel bedroom gives you the independence necessary to make those business decisions.

Whilst Edinburgh gives you the chance to work with some of the most forward-thinking business people in Britain, it also comes with some of the most spectacular scenery. This scenery can be enjoyed from a luxury serviced apartment in Edinburgh in ways you can’t enjoy from a hotel bedroom.

A hotel bedroom can feel stifling and claustrophobic, whereas a serviced apartment in the city presents you with the chance to cook whilst you look at the beautiful surroundings and entertain guests in the dining room as the historic city sits as a backdrop, creating the perfect evening for all.

The flexible nature of a serviced apartment in Edinburgh affords you the time and space to enjoy the city and the comforts on offer within the apartment itself.

Hilton is to open it’s first landmark hotel in Liverpool city centre. The hotel is due to open it’s doors in October 2009. This new hotel is situated on Thomas Steers Way, it’s structure curling around the greenery of Chavasse Park, and is is the final jigsaw in the recent Liverpool One retail development. The hotel will offer 215 guest rooms of varying sizes as well as 15 meeting rooms. Each room from the hotel will offer views of the city skyline or the Albert Dock and Rivery Mersey.

Chris Rose, Director at Serviced City Pads a Liverpool based Serviced apartment booking company thinks that this can only be a good thing for Liverpool and it’s visitors. He commented, “Having the famous Hilton brand can only help improve the perception of Liverpool to the visitor. I believe it will stimulate demand for short stay accommodation in Liverpool, and not just to the Hilton Hotel. At Serviced City Pads are currently concentrating our offering on taking bookings for serviced apartments, but we do plan to add hotels in Liverpool to our website in the near future. I also believe that increasing the number of hotel rooms in Liverpool city centre isn’t necassarily a bad thing for serviced apartment operators. The two products aren’t directly comparable. Infact, I believe that the addition of well run city centre hotels will prove to be more of a thorn in the side of poorly run hotels. This developing market means that the fittest will survive and the ultimate beneficiary is the consumer, the guest, and that can only be a good thing. Shoddy operators, whether serviced apartment operators or hotels will disappear, or be forced to improve their offering. With hotel rooms in Liverpool having previously been in such short supply, many operators have had it too easy for too long.

Obviously everybody at Serviced City Pads is very keen to work with Hilton in the future. We are, however, concentrating on getting our current serviced apartment offering right for our consumer. As I said, there is room for well run serviced apartments and hotels in the same market, and the addition of hotels in Liverpool has got to be a good thing”

Serviced City Pads is the leading independent serviced apartment booking company based in Liverpool. We have apartments listed across a number of locations in the UK. You can find us at www.servicedcitypads.com.

Serviced City Pads is delighted to announce that it is now able to take bookings for The Spires serviced apartments. The Spires provide 4 star equivalent apartments in 3 locations. They have apartments in Aberdeen, Glasgow and Birmingham. The company was set up in Aberdeen in 1995.

Chris Rose, Director at Serviced City Pads commented, “The Spires are just the sort of serviced apartment company that we like to work with at Serviced City Pads. They are a very professionally run company with ambitions to grow beyond their three developments. We hope we can help them grow and grow with them. We see our relationship with The Spires very much as a long term partnership.”

Each of The Spires locations provide a range of sizes of serviced apartments. Perhaps the most innovative development that The Spires have added to their offering are their Directors suites apartments. These apartments are designed with the travelling executive in mind. These apartments have 1 main bedroom plus an additional office where you can effectively work from home. Each office provides a workstation, fax, printer, stationery, direct dial telephone and wi-fi. It is a brilliant concept. Work from your very own office. Finish work. Close the door behind you and you are back in your spacious serviced apartment.

Can you imagine finding this in a hotel? You might be lucky to have a small desk lodged next to your tv, but this takes serviced accommodation in Glasgow to a new level. It’s also much better than having to find a coffee shop with wi-fi where you feel obliged to keep on topping up your latte every hour. Make a brew in your serviced apartment whenever you want and work at your own pace!

These apartments are best served for an executive who is working away from home, but wants to retain some of the comforts of home. The Spres apartments are well run and offer many of the services you might expect from a hotel in Glasgow without a lot of the formalities that come with staying in a Glasgow hotel. Many people actually just want to relax when they are staying away from home, and not be continually courted by a white gloved porter, who will shame you into tipping for the pleasure of opening a door or taking your luggage. This is sometimes nice, but often feels false and old fashioned. Stay in a serviced apartment in Glasgow and you will feel free to get on with your life without such formality. Go out and enjoy the city restaurants rather than eating the same set meal night after night in your dreary hotel restaurant.

The Spires serviced suites are available to book online at www.servicedcitypads.com. Alternatively, you can call Serviced City Pads on 0844 335 8866 to book an apartment in Glasgow, Aberdeen or Birmingham.
