Serviced apartments are increasingly becoming travellers’ preferred choice. They offer a comfortable, flexible, and cost-effective alternative to hotels, providing all the comforts of home paired with the convenient services and amenities of traditional hotel settings.
Read on to discover how Vertus Edit’s long stay serviced apartments in London provide the perfect blend of homely amenities and a vibrant community atmosphere ideal for extended stays.
Understanding the shift: why extended stay is becoming the new trend
Extended stay has become one of the latest trends in travel, and serviced apartments have evolved to align with this trend. While classic short-term hotel stays offer modest living quarters designed to meet simple needs, serviced apartments provide layouts similar to those of rental studio apartments.
Separate living, dining, and working areas make it easier for travellers to live as they would at home. This ample layout provides plenty of space for professional endeavours, leisure activities, and even hosting guests while also offering lifestyle-supporting amenities like 24/7 front desk, laundry, and Wi-Fi.
This shift towards extended stays is being driven, in part, by lifestyle shifts. New modes of working and living, such as remote work and digital nomadism, have created a rising demand for extended stay hotels and apartments. Serviced apartments now meet the needs of these travellers, providing flexibility, privacy, and home-like amenities for a more comfortable and personal stay.
Beyond the hotel room: the appeal of alternative accommodations
Traditional hotel stays have many benefits. However, they also have limitations, including small living spaces, minimal amenities for cooking, dining, and leisure, and limited areas for hosting and connecting with friends and colleagues.
These limitations are particularly pronounced for long-stay guests. Small living spaces can feel restrictive, and a lack of functional kitchens makes preparing healthy meals according to your preferred schedule challenging. Staying at traditional hotels for long periods of time can also become costly, especially when factoring in the expenses of dining out and paying for separate amenities like Wi-Fi.
These reasons are driving travellers to increasingly seek alternatives to hotel accommodations. Serviced apartments in London provide amenities and services similar to those leading hotels offer. Additionally, they provide comfort, privacy, and a true ‘home away from home’ experience for those who want a fresh update on classic hotel stays.
Benefits of long stay serviced apartments in London
Long stay serviced apartments in London offer numerous benefits, including:
1. Flexibility and independence
Long stay serviced apartments offer a degree of flexibility and freedom that most hotels do not. Guests can enjoy cooking their own meals at their leisure, working in quiet and comfortable spaces, and even hosting guests in their apartments. With no time limits or restrictions, guests can maintain the same lifestyle they enjoy at home.
Serviced apartments like Vertus Edit’s studios also offer flexible booking terms, ideal for those with varying schedules. This allows you to choose the length of your stay as needed, all while enjoying early check-ins and late check-outs for your convenience.
2. Cost-effectiveness for extended stays
Extended stays in serviced apartments are often more cost-effective than standard hotel rates. Plus, the amenities included save you money, too. Access to in-studio amenities like fully-equipped kitchens reduces the need for dining out and allows you to budget effectively for your meals while dining in your room, social areas, or around Canary Wharf.
Our serviced apartments offer exceptional value and cost-efficiency without compromising on quality. Their unique blend of amenities gives you the freedom to live life your way while saving money on extended stays, no matter how long the duration.
3. Enhanced comfort and community
Staying in a serviced apartment or aparthotel can elevate your travel experience in myriad ways. Vertus Edit adopts a community-oriented approach to accommodation, providing access to guest lounges, social spaces, and exclusive events to help you make meaningful connections throughout your stay.
Our spacious and private living areas are well-suited to long stays, allowing you to settle in comfortably and socialise at your leisure. When you are ready, you can access our community spaces and events at any time to build valuable bonds with fellow travellers and professionals.
