I work for a consulting office that has 2 locations. One on the east coast and the other operation, though much smaller, is on the west coast. The executives of the company are always traveling and when they travel they require luxury hotels and suites. Typically, their travels last between one and two weeks, but there are times when some of those executives are traveling for 4 or more weeks. Especially when we have training or a new high-value contract. So, you can only imagine how much money the company is spending on these luxury hotel rooms. While hotels are great, they feel like what they are meant to be, a small temporary space that reminds you that you’re not at home. Personally, I prefer corporate housing if I am traveling for more than a month. In a corporate apartment, I have all the luxuries and amenities of a hotel, plus more. Corporate apartments have full kitchens with all the appliances, and extra living space separate from the bedroom and the office. Furthermore, the furnishing is usually a lot nicer than that of a hotel room. And best of all, they usually feel like home away from home. I can unpack my suitcase and get comfortable in a corporate apartment, and not to mention that they are a whole lot cheaper than the luxury hotel rooms. I don’t know why the executives wouldn’t opt for this instead of spending so much money to stay in a hotel room. Perhaps, these luxury hotels are providing some kind of extra service that I am not privy to.
