What is a serviced apartment?

Following the decision to travel abroad, or when arranging a business trip on behalf of someone else, the inclination to veer towards a more compliant option and book a hotel room for your corporate stay is common. The advantages to a serviced apartment are unparalleled, however, and your stay in Luxembourg will benefit from these forward thinking features: 

Travel on your terms. Each serviced apartment can be booked for any period of time you wish, with flexibility on how often you frequent the on-site facilities. Having your own kitchen and familiar home amenities allows you to independently choose whether you would rather self-prepare your meals or explore the city’s food scene. 

Winning cost benefits. Serviced apartments often offer better value than a hotel. There is also the added benefit of your corporate housing in Luxembourg’s price decreasing in line with the longevity of your stay, making a serviced apartment especially appealing for long term stays. 

Exceptional standards. Having personalised relationships with property partners, we ensure that the best standards are met with each property to ensure your safety and personal requirements. Our SilverDoor approved symbol is a further indication that the serviced apartment has personally been visited by our specialist team.
