Business Stays

For business stays of more than a night or two, serviced apartments tend to work far better in practice than a standard hotel. The difference becomes clear once your trip moves beyond just arriving, sleeping and leaving again.

With a hotel, you’re often working, relaxing and sleeping in the same space, which can feel restrictive quite quickly. In a serviced apartment, the separation between living, sleeping and working areas allows you to structure your day more naturally. You can work comfortably during the day, then properly switch off in the evening.

This becomes especially important on longer trips. Having the flexibility to manage your own schedule, prepare food if needed, and return to a space that feels consistent rather than temporary makes the overall experience much more sustainable.

Top tip: Try to treat your stay as a temporary working base rather than a hotel stopover. That shift in mindset makes a noticeable difference in how productive and comfortable your trip feels.

Mansley apartments are designed around flexibility and practicality, which naturally suits business travel. The layouts give you enough space to work effectively without sacrificing comfort, which is often not possible in a traditional hotel room.

Having a separate living area allows you to create a more defined working environment, whether that’s using the dining table or setting up for a few hours of focused work. At the same time, you’re not confined to that same space when you’re finished for the day.

Location also plays a key role. Mansley properties are positioned in central areas across each city, making it easier to move between meetings, transport links and key business districts without unnecessary travel time.

Top tip: Choose accommodation that allows you to “step away” from work at the end of the day — having that separation is what helps maintain productivity across multiple days.

Yes — this is where serviced apartments really come into their own.

On longer business stays, small details start to matter more. Being able to unpack properly, settle into a routine and not feel like you’re living out of a suitcase changes how the entire trip feels. You can work more effectively, rest more properly, and keep some consistency between days.

For corporate stays, flexibility is often just as important as location. Meetings move, schedules change, and plans evolve. Staying somewhere that allows you to adapt without friction makes a noticeable difference over time.

Top tip: If your trip extends beyond a few days, try to build a simple routine — even small things like having breakfast in or setting working hours help make longer stays feel more manageable.

Yes — and this is one of their main advantages over hotels.

Rather than relying on a small desk or working from a bed, you have a proper living space that can be used more effectively. Whether you're preparing for meetings, handling calls or working remotely, having that extra room makes it easier to stay organised and focused.

Equally important is what happens when you finish working. Because the space isn’t limited to a single room, you can step away from your work environment without leaving the apartment entirely, which helps maintain a healthier balance during your stay.

Top tip: Set up your workspace as soon as you arrive — even a simple arrangement makes it easier to stay productive throughout the trip.

Yes — Mansley apartments are located in well-connected, central areas across London, Edinburgh, Cheltenham and Inverness, which makes them highly practical for business travel.

Being centrally based reduces travel time between meetings, gives you easier access to transport links, and allows you to keep your schedule more flexible. It also means you can return to your apartment during the day if needed, rather than committing to being out all day.

Over multiple days, this convenience becomes one of the most important factors. It allows you to move around efficiently while still having a comfortable base to return to.

Top tip: Where possible, choose a location that balances proximity to work with access to local amenities — being able to step out easily for food or a walk can make longer business trips much more manageable.
