Serviced Apartments – The First Choice of Business Travelers

A serviced apartment is a type of furnished, self-contained apartment designed for short-term stays. Serviced apartments usually come equipped with amenities that can be found in a usual home, such as a refrigerator, microwave, cutlery, washer/dryer, TV, and internet access.
Dubai apartments are increasingly becoming popular among business travelers in the UAE, partly because hotel rooms are in very short supply. Serviced apartments are increasingly hosting guests who are staying for shorter periods because they are unable to find rooms somewhere else. The room shortage is also bolstering prices for serviced apartments.
Another major cause why serviced flats are gaining popularity is that they offer the comfortable feel of an apartment. Serviced apartments also provide good value, as guests are getting a suite for the cost of a hotel room. Besides the benefit of paying a lesser room rate, customers can also save money by making their own meals.
