There are many factors to consider when it comes to finding the ideal apartment for your long-stay business trip. Travelling far from home for long periods is challenging both mentally and physically, with disrupted routines, the struggle of missing loved ones far away and packed work schedules to contend with.
Prioritising a convenient location near to prime business centres and choosing an apartment with additional in-house luxuries will go a long way to making your stay both more efficient and more enjoyable. Reducing stress where you can will have a positive knock-on effect on happiness and productivity for the most successful trips.
Our expert team have rounded up the best ways to effectively balance business and luxury during corporate business trips to help you make the most of your travels….
High-End Locations
Above all else, location is essential when it comes to choosing your extended stay apartment. Long-stay serviced apartments are designed to make life as convenient as possible for business travellers; this means offering strategic locations with easy access to prime business centres and transport hubs.
Reducing travel time is especially pertinent in a city like London which is so vast. With this in mind, Paddington is one of the most popular areas for business travellers thanks to its excellent transport connectivity on a local, national and international level, as well as its proximity to high-end shops, cultural hotspots and restaurants for the highest quality downtime.
In nearby Bayswater, the Bayswater Garden Square Apartments offer one-, two- and three-bed options in immaculate residential surrounds with ample greenery. High-spec interiors ensure these apartments are endlessly popular with our clients, especially those travelling with family thanks to the generous interior space and communal garden access offering a pleasant, calm experience.
The Highest-Quality Downtime
Depending on the level of entertainment involved in your line of work, some corporate travellers also prefer to stay in apartments in neighbourhoods where fine dining, social and cultural adventures await on the doorstep. This makes corporate entertainment easy and enjoyable, especially in a city like London with such a range of options to choose from.
Luxury Serviced Apartments offer a selection of properties in Mayfair, a postcode ideally suited to meet a range of networking needs in high style. This is also an ideal location for enjoying the best that London has to offer on your downtime in the evenings and weekends.
Business at the Core
While business travel typically involves meetings, visits to client offices and events networking, many corporate travellers also spend extended hours working within their living spaces.
Productivity and focus are essential parts of every corporate journey, which is why the best luxury apartments for businesspeople include features designed for optimal convenience and comfort round the clock.
Some of the most sought-after features to look out for include fully equipped workspaces, high-speed internet, ergonomic furniture, business meeting rooms, business services and direct dial phones. These small details work together to support effective, uninterrupted workflow for minimum stress and best results.
Home Comforts
Extended corporate travel can take its toll on our stress levels and mental health, especially when family and home comforts are far away. Thoughtful touches in your living quarters can make all the difference to easing the burden of business travel and breaking the monotony of long trips.
On the one hand, this might look like high-end interiors, beautiful high-design living space, premium furnishings and fully equipped kitchens, making it easy to whip up a home-cooked meal in a comfortable space and relax after a long working day.
A fine example of properties that includes many luxurious features would be the Prince of Wales apartments in Kensington that boast unique interior design, private terrace or balcony, superfast broadband, comfort cooling, and the best in entertainment with Samsung Smart TVs, Sonos soundbars and Alexa voice-controlled units.
Creating a home away from home can also look like self-care and establishing a sense of routine. Features that simply make life easier and more enjoyable might include on-site gyms, laundry facilities, housekeeping and concierge services.
Another of our most striking residences, the Palace Wharf Apartments in Fulham, also offer a popular feature in the form of 24-hour guest support. These long-stay apartments are situated in a former marble warehouse for the ultimate in industrial design chic and offer a wealth of services designed for long-term travellers including Smart Homes AV, Miele appliances, high-quality linens, 24/7 on-site security and dedicated private outdoor space.

All of the above elements work together to elevate the long-stay travel experience with high-end attention to detail in every aspect. Those apartments that cater to the fast-paced, high-demand nature of corporate travel as well as the high-end, luxurious details to make a stay more comfortable really are worth it.
