Long Stay: Top 10 Serviced Apartments 2024

When you’re staying away on business for a long period of time, your accommodation is a higher priority than ever. While hotels are fine for overnight stays and transfers, serviced apartments are a better option for trips lasting longer than three weeks. Why? Because when you stay in a serviced apartment, you can enjoy a private home away from home, with kitchen facilities giving you the option to cook for yourself, and your own living space means you can truly relax and put your feet up at the end of a long day. Furthermore, you don’t have to forego the additional services of hotels; weekly housekeeping and cleaning services are provided, as well as on-site concierge and reception teams.

Perhaps the greatest benefit of choosing serviced apartments for extended stays is the price: while hotel nightly rates are typically the same irrespective of the length of stay, serviced apartments have negotiable rates, which decrease as the length of stay increases. We’ve shortlisted the top 10 apartments for extended stays, offering you something much more inviting than middle-of-the-road, corporate accommodation.
