When work takes you away from home for more than a few nights, where you stay can make all the difference. Hotels certainly have their place, but for a longer business trip, relocation or extended stay, a serviced apartment offers something a little different: space, flexibility and the chance to create a much cosier experience and a home away from home.
Whether you’re looking for a longer term base near Hampton Court or a temporary home during a house move or renovation, we’ve rounded up all the reasons we think a serviced apartment makes a great choice.
More space to work and relax in a serviced apartment
With busy schedules, hotel rooms quickly become claustrophobic. A serviced apartment gives everyone all the space they need to sleep, work and relax, so switching off at the end of the day is much easier.
At Craven House, our apartments offer comfortable living areas alongside dedicated bedrooms and fully equipped kitchens. There’s space to open the laptop when you need to work, but importantly, space to put it away again when the working day is done. Enjoy your down time and weekends and have a better work-life balance.
A fully equipped kitchen and the freedom to feel at home
One of the biggest advantages of an extended stay in a serviced apartment is the freedom to settle into your own routine.
Having a kitchen means you don’t need to eat in restaurants every evening or rely on room service. Make breakfast before an early meeting, keep your favourite food in the fridge or cook something simple when you get home. We’re also always on hand to help stock the fridge before your arrival or organise grocery deliveries. Please do get in touch if that’s something that might be helpful.
For anyone spending a few weeks or months away from home, these little comforts can make a temporary spot feel much more homey.
There is also room to unpack properly rather than living out of a suitcase, helping Craven House feel like a longer term base rather than simply somewhere to sleep.
And don’t underestimate the difference having space to unpack makes to your experience. Spreading yourself out and packing the suitcases away goes a long way to making things feel more comfortable.
A smarter choice for longer business stays
If you’re organising accommodation for employees, consultants or visiting colleagues then serviced apartments like Craven House offer excellent value, especially for longer stays.
Instead of booking multiple hotel rooms, serviced apartments can offer more spacious accommodation and useful facilities like living spaces and kitchens all for one price.
The perfect location to work, then switch off
Location matters too. Craven House is in the perfect spot for easy access to London and all that Surrey offers, with the River Thames and Hampton Court on our doorstep.
When the laptop closes, you can take a riverside walk, explore Bushy Park, enjoy dinner at one of Hampton Court’s excellent pubs and restaurants or just relax in your apartment.
For colleagues relocating to the area, the Craven House apartments also give them the chance to get to know Hampton Court, Kingston and the local area while they’re looking for their permanent home.
Your longer term base at Craven House
Whether you’re travelling for a project, relocating for work or need somewhere to stay while your home renovations are done, Craven House offers the comfort and independence of your own apartment and the convenience of a serviced space.
A business trip doesn’t have to mean weeks spent in a hotel room. Sometimes, having a comfortable temporary home to return to makes all the difference.
