We\u2019ve previously explored how hotels are adapting as they return to business. Aparthotels are also reopening their doors, offering an alternative choice for business travellers. The features of an aparthotel make them ideally suited for those looking for a little more space and a little more privacy. This makes aparthotels a great option for accommodation in the current climate.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The appeal of the aparthotel<\/h2>\n

In the past, apartments within the business world were mainly focussed on those working on long-term projects, often used for businesses with global mobility programmes and for relocations. But not anymore. While still appealing to these audiences, the aparthotel offering from companies including Native provides all the benefits of an apartment stay even for those looking for shorter term and overnight stays.<\/p>\n

Native\u2019s new normal<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a>Native have flexed their approach while remaining true to their offer of originality, adopting \u201cstay safe, stay original, stay Native\u201d as their mantra.<\/p>\n

Their offer of original, interesting spaces combined with deep insider knowledge of local areas remains, but those interesting spaces are now deep-cleaned to a British Safety standard level and given a literal seal of approval on the front door. And the local knowledge now includes what is and isn\u2019t currently open nearby, along with recommendations for the best local restaurants that can deliver to your apartment.<\/p>\n

They\u2019ve also recognised the need for further flexibility and are offering fully cancellable or amendable rates to provide additional reassurance, which many organisations will see as crucial as the UK continues to navigate through the end of lockdown.<\/p>\n

Five point plan<\/h2>\n

Native has been operating aparthotels for NHS staff throughout the crisis and has recently reopened operations to the public at large. Their stringent approach has ensured the hygiene and safety of their aparthotels and enables them to offer real peace of mind. Their five-point plan covers key areas they\u2019re focussing on in ensuring safety and hygiene:<\/p>\n
