Serviced Apartments
One of the areas of the
British hospitality industry that has seen the greatest growth in recent
years is the market for short-term apartment rentals. Often marketed as a
more comfortable, more economical and longer-term alternative to traditional
hotels, short term
serviced apartments are perfect for business travelers and
holidaymakers alike. Generally, apartments are aimed at visitors who will be
staying in one place for a week or over, but some are offered for anything
from a single night upwards.
Among the leaders are the
SACO
Apartments, which can be found in Bath,
Nottingham, Bristol and
Birmingham, not to mention locations
around the world. The SACO
Bristol apartments range from SACO house, which offers fairly basic levels of luxury and
facilities, to West India House, which provides luxury accommodation on the
waterfront. The company has become the international leader in serviced
apartments by taking a professional approach and offering rentals that cover
all areas of the market. Naturally,
apartments in London are the most
expensive in the United
Kingdom, largely as a result of the
phenomenal property prices for which the city is famous. The most popular
locations for serviced apartments in
London are in and around the financial district in East London
and around Kensington & Chelsea in West London..
These locations are in-demand because of their close proximity to the
important business centers of
Britain's capital city.
A short hop along the M4
from West London, Reading is a city which is enjoying a boom.
One of the leading locations in
Britain's new, digital economy, Reading is
attracting business visitors like never before.
Reading apartments offer perfect
accommodation for anyone needing to stay in the city for more than a night
or two, and blocks such as the Number 18 Apartments are attracting rave
reviews from experienced business travelers who know what to look for in a
stopover. Again, SACO have an impressive selection in the town, including
the Castle Crescent
apartments, in a quiet, tree-lined conservation area located close to the
town center and business areas.
Britain's
new economy is in the process of moving away from being so London-centric.
As a result, demand for Manchester,
Liverpool, Leeds and
Newcastle apartments has never been
higher. The cost of hiring an apartment in these cities is also generally
lower than in
Central London.
If you have to move around for business and often
find yourself in a new place for more than a week, serviced apartments could
be just what you are looking for to give you that real "home from home"
experience.
