For anyone who is travelling on business, spending any length of time in a hotel is one of the down sides to working away from home. Whilst away on business you are obviously going to miss your family and friends but you will also miss the material comforts too. Working away in a large city such as Liverpool can magnify the frustrations of being away from home. Hotels in Liverpool are often impersonal and as you will usually have one room in which to work, rest and sleep you will soon feel a little claustrophobic.

A more suitable alternative to hotels in Liverpool are serviced apartments which offer much more space than a hotel room, with a fully equipped kitchen where you can prepare meals. Serviced apartments are usually in a quieter location than hotels, although they are still conveniently located for travelling, with a strict policy for nuisance behaviour which guarantees you peace and quiet. For anyone who is working away on business, with work to prepare in the evening, it is essential to have a space where you can work without interruption as well as an Internet connection.

Here at Serviced City Pads we offer an environment that is comfortable and secure, where you can relax whilst working or even feel comfortable holding a business meeting in your apartment. If you are working away from home for a long period of time you will be able to enjoy the benefits of a hotel such as daily maid service whilst also reaping the rewards of a homely apartment with many home comforts.

Liverpool is a city with many booming businesses and a great deal to offer. Businessmen and women from all over the world are regularly required to visit the city and this means they require high quality accommodation. If flying in from another city in the UK or another country, many of them want to stay close to Liverpool airport as this is a practical solution.

Hotels near Liverpool airport are available but can be undesirable. Small, cramped bedrooms and high prices make hotels in this area undesirable.

However, the development of luxury serviced apartments in Liverpool now means travellers to the city have a tempting alternative. Serviced apartments are located throughout Liverpool and some are in the vicinity of Liverpool airport too. You don’t have to stay in hotels near Liverpool airport to be close to where you need to be.

Serviced apartments are fully furnished with high quality furniture and fittings, offering you somewhere comfortable and relaxing to stay. Whether arriving at one of these apartments after a flight, a hard day at the office or a few hours before you are scheduled to depart, you will find it the perfect place to rest and prepare yourself.

Serviced City Pads have been involved in the serviced apartment booking industry for more than 2 years. It is clear that the industry is moving at quite a pace and becoming a much more professional industry. Two cities were this is becoming clearer than ever are Manchester and Liverpool. It was only two and half years ago that the serviced apartment industry in Liverpool was dominated by small apartment operators who managed only a hand full of short stay apartments. At the time, Liverpool presented a good opportunity for small apartment operators as there was an obvious lack of hotel beds in the city. Demand for accommodation was much higher than supply, and this became even more obvious during the European city of Culture year in 2008.

Of course there is room for such operators in any market, as long as they provide a good quality service and operate as a professional business. Things have changed since 2008 and a number of the smaller operators no longer exist.

So what has changed? Well, the market has become much more competitive with the addition of the Bridgestreet at Liverpool One serviced apartments, Staybridge Suites, the expansion of L3 Living and Stay Liverpool operation in the docks and Liverpool city centre. There have also been a number of new Liverpool city centre hotels that have recently been built including the Hilton and Novotel. 

Whilst demand for accommodation remains high, the extra supply of beds has meant that pricing has been squuzed down. The larger accommodation companies can manage this; if you only have 2 or 3 serviced apartments then managing price down becomes much more difficult as there are no economies of scale.  

Additional beds in Liverpool can only be a good thing for the consumer. Additional choice and a better product, whether that is for Liverpool hotels or serviced apartments in Liverpool.

I would say that as the serviced apartment industry in Liverpool has become increasingly dominated by larger providers that the offering has become more corporate. This is clearly a positive step as companies such as Serviced City Pads book more and more company workers into serviced apartments. It is also good new for those company workers, usually project workers who are working away from home who now have a distinct choice from staying in a hotel – something they generally would prefer not to do for more than a couple of nights. A corporate serviced apartment option offers more space and better value for the company. The processes of the large serviced apartment providers is more akin to those of a hotel (as opposed to a small apartment operator) and these are the processes that the company is usually more comfortable with.

Overall, the blossoming of the serviced apartment industry in Liverpool can only be a good thing for the consumer. Pricing of accommodation will find it’s natural level as demand is balanced against supply; and industry standards will increase. Like in other developing industries, we are bound to see that the only the fittest will survive and prosper, with the winner being the guest – corporate or otherwise.

Liverpool serviced apartments are spacious, comfortable and decorated with high quality furniture and fittings – the perfect amenities to guarantee a luxurious stay.

One of the most famous dates on the racing calendar is the Grand National at Aintree in Liverpool. This race first took place in 1847 and is part of a three day racing event. Millions of people all over the world tune in to their televisions to watch the race which is renowned for the courage and stamina required to complete this arduous course. On the day itself, in April each year thousands of visitors flock to the course to watch the Grand National. One famous horse who won the Grand National three times in the nineteen seventies is Red Rum, who is now buried by Aintree’s winning post; a horse loved by the nation.

In April each year hotels near Liverpool airport are fully booked with visitors flocking to Aintree for the three day racing event of the year. It can be difficult to find a hotel that will be able to accommodate all the members of your racing party which can result in groups using more than one hotel. At busy times of year such as this, hotels near Liverpool airport are very busy, which can result in less than pleasant dining experiences as well as noise at night when you are trying to sleep.

An alternative is to book a serviced apartment in Liverpool with a company such as Serviced City Pads, as we are able to accommodate all party sizes. With our apartments you will receive clean towels and bedding for your use, as well as plenty of space and a peaceful night’s sleep.

When it comes to corporate accommodation in Liverpool, it’s always wise to go for the best option possible. Only then can you be sure of the comfort, relaxation and luxury that you’re looking for from Liverpool serviced apartments, so how can you find the best?

Well, looking online would be a good place to start. The Internet will be able to present you with a wealth of options including both hotels and serviced apartments, giving you the chance to choose which would be right for you.

However, it’s important to never take what you see at face value. Always do your research if you want to make sure that you’re getting the best corporate accommodation in Liverpool, so try searching online for reviews and recommendations of your potential accommodation to see what past guests have thought.

It’s also a good idea to consider the location. If you’re on a business trip with meetings in the centre of town it’s never going to be advisable to choose accommodation on the outskirts as that doesn’t give you the convenience you need, so always choose appropriately.

You need to think about the price as well, and remember that if you want the best you normally have to pay for it. But, that’s normally a small price to pay for the convenience, location and luxury that you’ll be able to get, and quality is always worth paying that bit extra for.

So, these are just a few things you need to remember if you want to find the best corporate accommodation in Liverpool, and if you really do want the best then make sure to consider us here at Serviced City Pads for serviced apartments in Liverpool.

Booking luxury serviced apartments in Liverpool gives you the perfect opportunity to put a corporate hospitality or team building package together. Released from the confines of hotel hospitality suites, you have an enormous range of alternatives. The city is brimming with organisations supplying entertainment to both recreational and corporate visitors.

Shiverpool Ghost Tours is one such company. Formed in 2004, this enterprise runs entertaining ghost tours around Liverpool’s most haunted areas. The nightly excursions can accommodate up to 40 guests, and operate around several themes. For example, you can book a Hope Street tour, ‘Auld City Shivers’ tour, Docklands and Mariners tour and so on.

Despite one tour being called the Horror at St George’s Hall, the emphasis is more on light-hearted fun than being scared witless. Costumed guides bring history alive by regaling you with stories of the city’s dark past, and a few hidden surprises. Some are laid on – others are not. It’s up to you to decide which is which.

There is also a bespoke – or rather, bespook – service for groups of 15 or more, engineered to your specific requirements. Shiverpool Tours are keen to point out that all the tours are based on research and fact. All they add is a touch of theatricality. Combined with our luxury serviced apartments in Liverpool, it is perfect corporate entertainment.

We at Serviced City Pads would like to reassure you that, while our serviced apartments in Liverpool are conveniently located for Shiverpool tours, none of them are haunted!

No matter what your reason for renting luxury serviced apartments in Liverpool, you’re sure to start whistling the famous song the moment you see your first ferry crossing the Mersey. It’s an iconic image that hasn’t changed since the 1960s, when Gerry Marsden first penned those famous words.

There have been ferries crossing the Mersey since Mediaeval times – they were recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086. In the 14th century, Birkenhead Priory ran the service to the tiny village of Liverpool. Following the dissolution of the monasteries, the ferries were run as privately owned, fully rigged sailing ships. Not a good idea, on a foggy river with little wind!

Literally hundreds of ferries have come and gone over the years – including fully rigged sailing ships. Not a good idea in a narrow shipping channel with heavy fogs and little wind!  In 1914, the SS Iris and Daffodil served as troop ships, resulting in the word “Royal” being added to their names. The Royal naming tradition continued until 1960, when a new generation of “super modern” diesel ferries were launched. Their grand titles – Woodchurch, Mountwood and Overchurch – were names of post-war housing developments! Given a total refit in the 1990s, they were renamed Snowdrop, Royal Daffodil and Royal Iris  – the latest generation of “Royal Flowers” on the Mersey.

We at Serviced City Pads have a number of serviced apartments in Liverpool’s waterfront district, where you can watch these historic vessels chugging away to your heart’s content. To learn more, book accommodation in Liverpool and head for the fascinating maritime museum.

Many people book accommodation in Liverpool to explore the water. It does have rather more than its fair share, with both the Mersey river and the Manchester Ship Canal to choose from. Both offer cruises and excursions – a fascinating way to explore the Wirral’s industrial and natural heritage.

Even if you aren’t a fan of the water, you can’t book into serviced apartments in Liverpool without taking a Ferry across the Mersey. No other river crossing has attracted so much attention – it even had a song written about it. As well as regular crossings to and from the Wirral Peninsula, the Mersey Ferry company (operating under Mersey Travel) offers the Big Mersey Adventure, River Explorer cruises, Manchester Ship Canal cruises and Special Cruises with live bands. If you regularly book luxury serviced apartments in Liverpool for business purposes, check out Mersey Ferry boat chartering – a much more original venue for a corporate function than the usual tired conference room.

The Mersey has been running a ferry service since the 12th century or earlier, and over the years has seen hundreds of vessels come and go. The current fleet dates from the 1960s, and it’s thrilling to think you can stand on the same hallowed decks the Beatles used. Most cities would have scrapped their fleet long before, replacing it with modern vessels.

Whether you are renting serviced apartments in Liverpool for business or pleasure, we at Serviced City Pads guarantee you’ll be crossing the Mersey again and again.
