Finding the Right Executive Accommodation - Tips for Success 9 Jun
Do you frequently travel for business? Your choice of accommodation can significantly impact your overall experience. When you have important meetings or tight deadlines to meet you can’t afford distractions from a cramped hotel room or noisy surroundings.
That’s why finding the right executive accommodation is so important. Your accommodation choice should provide a space that enhances productivity and relaxation while offering comfort during both work and leisure times.
Here’s what to look for when you’re booking your next business trip.
Location, Location, Location
First and most importantly, location matters. Ideally, your accommodation should be close to where you need to be, whether that’s the CBD, a conference centre, or your clients' offices.
But it’s not just about proximity. Think about the neighbourhood too. Are there any coffee shops within walking distance for quick caffeine breaks? Restaurants for client dinners? Pharmacies, dry cleaners, gyms? A strategically located place to stay saves time and keeps you moving while making your entire trip run more smoothly.
The location gains extra points if it offers convenient access to dependable public transport or simple parking when renting a car.
Space to Work and Space to Breathe
Business travellers need more than just a bed. Look for accommodation that gives you space to actually work. A proper desk, good lighting, and a comfortable chair can boost productivity and ensure you’re able to power through your work without hunching over the kitchen bench.
At the same time, you also want a space that doesn’t feel like you’re trapped in an office. A comfortable lounge area, a nice view, maybe even a private balcony – all of these little touches can help you unwind after a long day.
Reliable Wi-Fi (It’s Non-Negotiable)
It sounds obvious, but you’d be surprised how often travellers run into patchy internet. Make sure the accommodation includes high-speed, reliable Wi-Fi, and better yet, that it’s complimentary. You don’t want to battle poor connections when you're trying to send a proposal or jump on a Zoom call.
If you know you’ll need to transfer large files, stream presentations, or host video meetings, it’s worth double-checking that the connection can handle the load.
In-Room Amenities That Make Life Easier
It’s the small conveniences that make a big impact during a business trip. Look for accommodation that offers:
· A proper coffee machine or at least decent tea and coffee supplies.
· Ironing facilities (crumpled suits are never a good look).
· A mini fridge to store snacks or a bottle of wine for a well-deserved nightcap.
· Kitchenette or full kitchen if you’re staying longer and want to avoid eating out every meal.
A Comfortable Bed
A great day of business starts with a good night's sleep. Don’t underestimate the importance of a comfortable, high-quality bed with proper linens. You’re there to work hard and perform at your best so you need your sleep to be restorative.
It’s worth reading a few reviews or even calling ahead to ask about the bedding. Some executive accommodations really do go above and beyond, offering pillow menus and blackout curtains for that extra sleep quality boost.
Flexibility for Longer Stays
Business trips aren’t always just a night or two. If you’re staying for a week or more, you’ll want somewhere that feels liveable, not just tolerable.
Look for executive accommodation or short stay apartments that offer weekly housekeeping, laundry facilities, and flexible booking options. The more your accommodation feels like a second home, the easier it is to stay productive and happy.
Security and Safety
Last but definitely not least, your accommodation should make you feel safe. Secure building entry, well-lit areas, 24/7 reception or on-call support are all things you want, especially if you’re arriving late at night or travelling solo.
It’s always a good idea to check recent reviews for any red flags when it comes to safety or security.
