What is a serviced apartment?
Combining the luxuries and ease of hotel stays, with the
added inclusion of space, privacy and flexibility, serviced apartments are the stand-out
choice for business travellers enjoying both long and short term corporate
trips away. When staying in one of our best serviced apartments in Vancouver,
you will have access to the following benefits:
·
Stylish Interior. With many hotel rooms, they
have to be furnished in duplication with the style that the hotel as a whole
has chosen; each room is a carbon copy. Each of our serviced apartments are
unique in the style and furnishings which their property owners have chosen, giving
you the option to stay somewhere suited to your taste.
·
Fantastic value. As we have built up trusted
relationships with our property partners, we have the facilities to negotiate
rates to get you the best deals possible. Furthermore, as our Vancouver
serviced apartments also have kitchen facilities, additional costs such as
eating out are eliminated from your business trip.
·
A private space. Unlike hotel rooms which fit as
much as they can into one room, our apartments provide a generously-sized
private area. With facilities such as multiple bedrooms and a separate living
and kitchen space, you have a multitude of space to carry out different
activities.
