| Some modern business travellers rack up hundreds of flights in a year to destinations all over the world. Business trips often involve nights spent in hotels. While a night in a hotel may seem glamorous to anyone who does not have to stay in hotels with any great frequency, regular business travellers often become weary of spending each night in a different bed. If you don't want to stay in a traditional hotel, there are an ever-increasing range of serviced apartments in most major cities. A serviced apartment is rather like a self-catering hotel, but can have up to three bedrooms and considerably more living space than all but the most luxurious (and expensive) hotel suites. The best apartments in London offer exceptional value and comfort when compared with hotel suites, not to mention convenient locations for London's major business centres.
Aside from London apartments, there are apart-hotels (as they are sometimes called) springing up all over the UK. The highest concentration being in towns and cities which are home to a high concentration of business or industry. Despite being a short commute from London, Reading has a thriving business community and demand for Reading apartments is surprisingly high. Prices are slightly lower than in Central London and the soothing Berkshire countryside is some of the most beautiful in the United Kingdom.
Further west, Bristol was once the most important British city outside of London. Nowadays, Bristol apartments are a growth industry as the city develops a unique identity and business community. The river Avon runs through Bristol and is the perfect location for unwinding after a fraught meeting. The areas surrounding Bristol are important production centres for British industry.
Alan Shearer, the Angel of the North, the Millennium Bridge, world famous ale; Newcastle is one of Britain's cultural gems and an increasingly important cog in the machine of British business. As such, demand for Newcastle apartments has never been higher. Newcastle's central business district is well served with serviced apartments, with blocks such as Mariners Wharf Apartments, which are perfectly located on the Quayside and offer easy access to the cities many great amenities.
It is worth bearing in mind that some serviced apartments have a minimum stay, which is often seven nights. If you are considering staying for a shorter period, a hotel or B&B could be more suitable. A Manchester conference, lasting only one day would not usually justify the hire of an apartment for a whole week. |
