Luxe apartments set to satisfy traveler’s whims

“Feel at home.”

This is no longer merely an expression, especially nowadays. As a market driven by experience, we don’t simply look for beds where we could sleep. When we travel, be it for business or pleasure, we instead want to stay in places that offer us the flexibility, warmth and comfort of a home.

This is perhaps why serviced apartments—self-contained apartments complete with bedroom, lounge and kitchen—are now popular. The description alone gives away the multitude of advantages that serviced apartments have over hotel rooms. One gets more space for work, rest, cooking, even entertaining. The units are often located in the heart of major cities, so everything is within convenient reach. They offer more freedom and greater privacy as well as round-the-clock hospitality and security.
