Why squeeze into a hotel room when you could spread out, settle in, and stay smart with a serviced apartment instead?
More Space to Work and Live
Hotels are designed for your short-stay overnight visits, whereas serviced apartments are built for everything else. That means; a proper kitchen, a living room that isn’t also your bedroom, natural light, thoughtful design, and the feeling that you’re not just passing through. Whether you’re relocating, on assignment, or simply in the city for longer than a week - lets be honest, space makes a difference!
Long Stays Deserve Better Value
Here’s the truth, hotel pricing rarely makes sense beyond a few nights. The daily rate adds up, and suddenly that “deal” becomes one of the most expensive lines on your travel budget.
Serviced apartments offer better value the longer you stay. No unexpected charges, no overpriced room service, just one all-in rate, often with housekeeping, Wi-Fi, and utilities included. Need a place for 30 days or more? This will almost always be the smarter financial move, without compromising on comfort. A stay at a Portland Brown serviced apartment means you'll get central access, without the central-London hotel markup thanks to our exclusive corporate rates.
Flexibility That Works Around You
Hotel life comes with rules or restriction, like breakfast by 10am, laundry before 5 or no guests after a certain hour. With a serviced apartment, your day is yours! Cook dinner at 9pm or host a morning meeting over coffee. There's no need to disrupt your work from home routine either, thanks to dedicated desks already set up, as well as fast, reliable Wi-Fi as standard.
Today’s business travellers expect more than a cramped hotel desk or spotty café Wi-Fi. Serviced apartments offer a more professional setup, ideal whether you’re here for a project, a pitch, or a soft landing during relocation.
And when the workday ends, unwind in comfort or explore the city like a local. This is real-life independence, not just a check-in or check-out routine. Serviced apartments support modern living for the modern business traveller, so life in your new home can actually start from the moment you walk through the door.
A Better Fit for Business Travel
Business travel isn’t always nine-to-five. It can mean early starts, late-night calls, or juggling time zones which is why your accommodation should do more than provide a place to sleep.
With Portland Brown, it’s not just about space, it’s about service. We offer weekly housekeeping, high-speed Wi-Fi, fully equipped kitchens, in-apartment laundry, and 24/7 support from a team that knows the city, as well as your needs, inside out.
Stay Where It Matters
From Mayfair to Shoreditch, The City to Canary Wharf - Portland Brown apartments are located in some of London’s most sought-after postcodes. Want to be near the office, your favourite coffee spot, or just a great park for morning runs? You're covered.
Some of our buildings include a concierge or front desk for added ease; others offer the privacy of a truly independent entrance. Either way, you're free from the usual hotel routine which means no queues and no impersonal lobbies! You'll have a space that feels like your own, in a neighbourhood worth settling into.
So… Serviced Apartment or Hotel?
If you're travelling light and staying a night, a hotel might still do the job. But if you’re in London for a while on business, between homes, or just working your way through a long-term project, a serviced apartment gives you everything a hotel can’t: space, flexibility, privacy, and better value.
