What is a serviced apartment? 

A corporate serviced apartment is designed in mind of the business traveller, offering amenities suited to both long and short term trips. Hotels lack features where a serviced apartment benefits. Below are the key advantages a serviced apartment provides above any other form of corporate accommodation:

1. Space – An apartment in Birmingham will offer expansive living spaces for you to relax and unwind in. They come equipped with a kitchen, providing the opportunity for business travellers with busy schedules to grab a bite to eat from the comfort of their own home. 

2. Washing facilities – Birmingham serviced apartments have the luxury of on-site laundry facilities, making the perfect choice for long-term business trips. There is nothing more convenient than being able to do your laundry in your own apartment, rather than popping to the nearest laundrette and paying a charge.

3. Style and décor – Our serviced apartments in Birmingham offer sleek décor and comfortable furniture to make your corporate stay here feel like home. Ideal for relaxing after a busy day at work, these apartments make working away from home that little bit easier.
