Serviced apartment

A serviced apartment (also known as a service apartment or an extended stay apartment) is a fully furnished apartment[1] available for short-term or long-term stay, providing hotel-like amenities such as room service, and house keeping.

Companies frequently use serviced apartments to host workers. It is common for engineers and executives to stay in serviced apartments temporarily while searching for a permanent residence or relocation. Serviced apartment are also available to the general public.

Serviced apartments typically offer facilities much like an apartment hotel but provides more space. They have private cooking facilities, sometimes a kitchenette but sometimes a full-size kitchen with dishwasher and washing machine, living and sleeping areas that are larger than most standard rooms, and often have access to gyms, restaurants, meeting space, concierges and other hotel-like services.
