APARTMENT HOTEL: A FLEXIBLE AND COMFORTABLE OPTION FOR MODERN TRAVELERS

APARTMENT HOTEL: A FLEXIBLE AND COMFORTABLE OPTION FOR MODERN TRAVELERS

In recent decades, Valencia has climbed the Spanish tourism rankings, becoming one of the major attractions for travelers from around the world. With a constantly growing tourist offer, new accommodation options have also emerged to meet the needs of each tourist. This is the case with aparthotels or hotels with apartments. This type of accommodation combines the best of traditional hotels with the independence of a home. This hybrid accommodation is increasingly popular among our visitors. Families and professionals visiting the capital of the Turia River for leisure or work find in aparthotels a modern and balanced solution combining comfort, autonomy, and comprehensive services.

But how exactly do these apartment hotels work? How does it differ from a traditional hotel or a tourist apartment? In this post, we answer these questions and delve into the advantages of this type of accommodation.

What is an apartment hotel?

An apartment hotel, aparthotel, or tourist residence is an establishment that offers fully equipped units similar to small apartments, but within a hotel infrastructure. That is, it combines the classic services of a hotel (reception, housekeeping, catering, or maintenance) with the comfort of a self-contained apartment, including a kitchen, living room, and one or more bedrooms and bathrooms.

These establishments are designed for short, medium, and long-term stays, making them a versatile option for tourists, business travelers, and those temporarily relocating.

Operation of an aparthotel

In cities like Valencia, which welcomes both business travelers and tourists looking to enjoy its urban and coastal attractions, hotels with apartments have adapted to meet the needs of their diverse visitors. These establishments operate along the following lines:

Professional reception and check-in

Just like in a traditional hotel, the reception staff greets guests upon arrival, ensuring that the check-in process and obtaining the keys to their apartment is smooth, secure, and provides the most personalized, professional service.

Fully equipped apartments

Each apartment features a kitchen (including a refrigerator, microwave, ceramic stove, and all necessary utensils and kitchenware), a private bathroom, a living area, and one or more bedrooms. Some include a washing machine and a terrace. This layout is perfect for those who want to eat in their own apartment, work online, or simply enjoy greater privacy.

Services included

Valencia's apartment hotels offer services such as cleaning, linen and towel changes, laundry, technical maintenance, Wi-Fi, and access to all hotel amenities and common areas (gym, pool, restaurant, cafeteria, etc.).

Strategic location

In Valencia, these types of hotels with apartments are usually located in strategic areas highly sought after by our visitors, such as the historic center, Ruzafa, the City of Arts and Sciences, or the beach area. This way, travelers can stay close to the main tourist, shopping, and business attractions, without sacrificing the tranquility and comfort of a self-catering apartment with all the amenities.

Advantages of apartment hotels

Apartment hotels have many advantages over conventional hotels or apartments:

Space

In a conventional hotel, guests simply have a space plus service. In the case of aparthotels, they have spacious, well-designed areas. Common areas, such as living rooms or kitchens, allow for socializing, relaxing, or working in a comfortable and spacious environment.

Flexibility

In an aparthotel, guests can choose their own breakfast, lunch, and dinner times. Since you can cook, you can also prepare your own meals and adapt them to your preferences or diet.

Services and legality

Unlike conventional tourist apartments, aparthotels offer all the professional services available to travelers and all those available in common areas.

On the other hand, they guarantee greater security, since the legality of contracts and licenses is much clearer.

Technology and connectivity

Most apartment hotels are equipped with high-speed Wi-Fi and advanced technology, ensuring guests can always stay connected throughout their stay. This is a key benefit, both for those who need to work remotely and for tourists who want to stay connected with friends and family or stay up-to-date with everything available on social media and platforms.
