Corporate housing is a cost effective way to pay for an extended business trip. Corporate housing is sometimes called “extended stay” as the intention is to host an executive for longer than a normal business stay. Corporate housing offers the equivalent of furnished apartments to an executive on a long business trip.
The main benefit of corporate housing is that the cost is lower than the cost of a normal hotel. This is because the executive is making an extended stay in the corporate housing, so the providers have a guaranteed tenant for a longer period than a normal hotel visit. While cost is the main benefit, to the executive who is enjoying the extended stay, the real benefit is that this temporary home is more like furnished apartments than a hotel room. Anyone spending an extended stay away from home will get tired of being away, so having temporary housing that feels more like furnished apartments allows the traveler to feel a little more at home than what a hotel room would offer. This is what corporate housing offers to the executive road warrior.
Corporate housing is available throughout the country, as there are many national providers of this service. You can do an internet search for “corporate housing” or “extended stay” in order to find the many corporate housing rentals that are available in the town or city you will be visiting. Any area that has a large corporate presence will have extended stay facilities, as this part of the housing industry has grown rapidly over the years.
Sometimes, extended stay facilities are incorporated into regular hotels. Certain rooms may be built as suites or furnished apartments to allow the executive to settle in for an extended stay. These rooms often have an office section of the suite in which there is a desk and significant communication facilities. These can include phone jacks and hard wired internet connections to ensure the best possible service. National corporate housing providers are aware of the business needs of an executive who is visiting for an extended stay, so they have made all efforts to provide both the comforts of home and the necessities of business service.
Now, of course, you don't have to be an executive to make use of corporate housing. These extended stay facilities are available to everyone for any reason. If you are going to be in one area for an extended stay, it makes sense to look for providers that specialize in this kind of temporary housing. Whether you are there for business, or a vacation, or extended family business, it can be worth looking for extended stay or corporate housing rentals. Again, doing an internet search for “extended stay” or “corporate housing” can show you a list of providers in the area you will be staying. Since almost every town in the US now has extended stay rentals, you are sure to find at least one that will suit your needs. Try it! You'll like it.
