Whether you’re travelling for business or pleasure, being away from home will inevitably come with certain challenges especially if you’re travelling long distance. But finding the right accommodation shouldn’t be one of them.
In a vast city like London, where hotels can often feel impersonal and cramped, serviced apartments are a wonderful option for a more exclusive travelling experience. Luxury serviced apartments offer a more intimate ambience, as well as more space and privacy than even the most prestigious hotels.
Recreating the Comfort of Home
In an ideal world, every traveller will benefit from the same quality of living that they are familiar with at home when it comes to their chosen accommodation. This means looking for an apartment that does the thinking for you and makes all those practical day-to-day tasks easier, offering a unique level of customisation that is simply not attainable in larger hotels.
Common requirements from corporate and leisure travellers include business services, daily maid service (which may be flexible to fit your schedule), concierge services, a tumble dryer, Nespresso machines and 24-hour reception.
Depending on your priorities and lifestyle, we can delve deeper to create a fully customisable experience. This might mean those apartments with access to a swimming pool or gym to let off some steam after a long day of meetings or busy day sightseeing, those that offer room service for that extra level of comfort or even pet-friendly apartments if you’re bringing your four-legged friend along for the journey.
Enjoy the Privacy
Privacy and discretion go hand in hand with a high-quality travelling experience which is why we advise choosing properties that prioritise safety and security. Some apartments may offer private entrances or even direct elevator-to-apartment interior access while others come with 24-hour reception and/or concierge for your peace of mind.
Choose the features that resonate most with you and feel like a priority. Against the busy backdrop of the city of London, enjoying your own safe haven really is the epitome of luxury.
Embrace the Luxury
While practical comforts and support are essential, one of the best parts of travelling is embracing the luxury experience and potentially enjoying an even better quality of life when you’re on your travels. Many travellers coming to London create packed schedules in order to fit in as much as possible in one of the most desirable cities in the world. This makes returning at the end of the day to a truly relaxing bolthole even more important.
Our five-star apartment collection comes with some outstanding properties including features that truly embrace the style and sophistication of London life. These include sweeping private terraces, exquisite interiors with lavish design details and state-of-the-art entertainment systems.
Embracing the luxury may also mean using your leisure time to embrace health and wellness, with a curated selection of our apartments offering access to spa, sauna and gym facilities.
Choose a Location that Fits with your Itinerary
This brings us neatly onto another insider tip – choose your location wisely. London is a vast metropolis, and every traveller’s needs are unique because all relax in our own ways, especially when we’re far from home.
We always advise choosing a serviced apartment that fits with both your practical needs as a traveller and your desires for the luxury travel experience as well as your own personal vision of relaxation.
Our apartments are situated in some of the most prestigious postcodes across London – travellers can choose from those just a stone’s throw from globally renowned restaurants, business hubs, green spaces and/or designer shops.
Some travellers prefer a more residential feel from their surrounds in areas such as Pimlico and Chelsea while others may prioritise more exclusive surrounds, in which case our Mayfair or Knightsbridge apartments tick all the boxes.
Fast-paced executives may prefer easy access to business centres and a location closer to The City while others like to be in the middle of all the hustle and bustle, an experience offered by our Covent Garden locations.
Consider all the Family
With our apartments located across Central, East Central and West Central London, we can cater to the diverse needs of all types of traveller. Our skilled team can also recommend the most family-friendly locations for those travelling with the whole clan.
Whether you’re a leisure traveller or a business traveller bringing your family along for the experience, serviced apartments go above and beyond in recreating a homelike environment for everyone to feel comfortable. The main benefit is that many apartments offer multiple bedrooms and en-suites, offering everyone their own space and privacy. Fully equipped kitchens also allow travellers to make meals, snacks or drinks as and when required without the need to leave your private space or cater to specific opening and closing times.
Our top tip if travelling with your family is to prioritise both a family-friendly location and an apartment that ticks as many boxes as possible. The sky really is your limit – don’t underestimate the range of amenities on offer to make your travelling life easier and make sure to check the unique features of each property to gain the most from your experience.
Whether you’re looking for ample living and dining spaces, a washer/dryer, a large TV, close proximity to family-friendly activities or even an elevator to easily transport all your belongings, luxury apartments really do offer the whole package.
Plan Ahead (as Far as Possible!)
Once travellers discover the magic of luxury serviced apartments, there’s simply no going back to the hotel lifestyle. We have many repeat clients, some of whom also seek longer-term stays of 90 nights or more. We always advise booking and planning well in advance to secure an apartment that ticks all your boxes. This is especially pertinent if you’re travelling at peak times such as Christmas or the school summer holidays.
