It can either make or break your travel experience. With the decreasing boundaries and increasing business dealing worldwide, corporate travel is on the rise. And with it, the demand for a pleasant stay has increased. With the burgeoning corporate travel demands, there are various new trends cropping up that offer business travel solutions. The one such major recent addition is that of service apartments.

It is very appropriate for professionals and has instantly taken over the hotels. This has led to a close competition and comparison between the two.
Let’s compare the two and see what we find: Space: While planning for a major trip significance is given to the space available at the place of stay. Nobody wants to spend their precious days holed up in a shoebox sized room. In a luxury apartment only a bedroom with an attached bathroom is offered, whereas, in a service apartment, the whole area is at your discretion. It comes with usually 2 rooms, 2 bathrooms along with kitchen and open living area. In the case of space availability service apartments have an edge over the hotels.
