Hotel rates continue to rise, whilst serviced apartments still provide better value for money

Jan. 21, 2011 - PRLog -- Recent reports by Deloitte have confirmed that London hoteliers enjoyed double digit growth in 2010, a marked improvement on the previous year. Though growth reported wasn’t as strong nor a return to pre-recession highs, this shows the resilience of London Hotels during harder times and could indicate continuing rate rises during 2011, as demand continues to out strip supply, especially at peak times of the year.

With this in mind its likely businesses in London with a regular need to accommodate inbound employees will have to negotiate even harder with suppliers in order to achieve agreeable corporate rates that fit with their travel policies and ongoing remit to reduce travel spend.

With this in mind, more and more companies are looking at alternatives available and increasingly recognize serviced apartments in London offer better value for money. For companies with short term accommodation needs in the City and Canary Wharf, Clarendon Serviced Apartments is one such operator offering a refreshing alternative to the confines of hotel rooms and viable solution for accommodating individuals and groups for stays from 5 nights upwards. Not to mention the considerable cost savings available.

Unlike hotels Clarendon’s London serviced apartments (visit http://www.clarendonuk.com) offer real value for money. Guests benefit from having a separate bedroom, the comfort of a fully furnished lounge/dining area and well equipped kitchen; all the facilities in fact that enable people to lead a normal everyday lifestyle as they would at home. Service levels are similar to a hotel but less intrusive and more considerate of guests’ privacy and space. A once a week housekeeping service includes bed linen and towel change. Aside to this guests are left to enjoy the freedom their own base in London provides, but can rest assured in the event they need assistance, the Clarendon team are just a phone call away.  Clarendon offers added peace of mind by providing a 24 hr, 365 days a year emergency contact service.

There is no question London hotels offer an appealing proposition for the business traveler staying for a few nights. However, for those that spend the majority of the time travelling on business or find themselves coming to London for an extended period of time, London serviced apartments offer much more; a better standard of living, freedom and flexibility and above a homely environment, much more conducive to living and working in London.
