Why choose a
SilverDoor McLean apartment?
What is a serviced apartment?
When travelling to McLean on business, sourcing a
comfortable hub from which you can work, socialise, rest and strategise is a
sure fire way to ensure success. A serviced apartment in McLean blends the functional
and luxurious services of a hotel with the privacy and comfort of a private
rented space. Simply put – a corporate serviced apartment offers the best of
both worlds, resulting in a host of benefits including:
·
Excellent value.
Compared with expensive hotels, serviced apartments offer so much more for your
money. With a host of included features and services, plus a massive amount of
additional space for living, cooking and entertaining, serviced accommodation
is much better value. Furthermore, when staying beyond a certain duration
serviced apartments reduce in nightly rate, meaning our apartments are perfect
for relocating staff that need a temporary residence while awaiting permanent
accommodation in McLean.
·
Flexible living.
Unlike a confined and restrictive hotel room which adhered to stringent hotel
curfews and timetables, a serviced apartment offers a more free and comfortable
lifestyle. With a private space, much more like a home, you can truly relax and
utilise the amenities provided as you see fit. With rooms for socialising,
resting or conducting business, a serviced apartment can be a base between business
appointments which offers somewhere peaceful to plan the day ahead.
·
Optional
services. With many apartments offering access to a host of features as
standard – such as on-site gyms, swimming pools, bars and restaurants – you are
able to select services which appeal to you. Having the option to stay fit on
your business travels removes the need to source a local gymnasium, and an
on-site restaurant is perfect for the end of a busy day of business
appointments when cooking a meal just isn’t on your to do list.
