Hotels No More?

Business executives are checking out of hotels in favour of short stay holiday lets as they seek more home comforts on the road.
The trend is being fuelled by new websites offering travellers easy access to homes, apartments and rooms across Europe’s top cities.

One site, Travelstaytion, which allows users to let and search for accommodation in 41 destinations, has reported a surge in bookings from business travellers.

“The new generation of business travellers are looking for more off-the-beaten-path experiences while they work away,” Anastasinis said.  “Trendy, boutique rentals mean they can get a real flavour for cities, while still staying in central locations for meetings. For regular travellers tired of hotel suites, a chic apartment and the opportunity to get among the locals can really brighten up a trip.”
