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.
