In this article you can read all about them and discover how they can enrich your travel experience. Finally, an exclusive top 5 for you of beautiful aparthotel addresses that have a great chance of becoming your next holiday destination!

What is an aparthotel?

An aparthotel is a mix between an apartment and a hotel, offering the perfect balance between the services and facilities of a hotel with the space, privacy and comfort of your own apartment. These accommodations are ideal for travelers who want to stay in one place for a longer period of time and prefer self-sufficiency without sacrificing services such as cleaning and reception services.

The difference between aparthotels and traditional hotels

Although both aparthotels and traditional hotels offer overnight accommodations, these are the obvious differences:

Space and privacy: Aparthotels often offer more space than a hotel room, including separate living areas, kitchens, and sometimes even multiple bedrooms.
Self-sufficiency: The kitchen in an aparthotel often allows guests to prepare their own meals, which is not only convenient but can also help reduce travel costs.
Flexibility: Aparthotels often offer more flexible check-in options and length of stay, which is ideal for both short trips and long-term stays.
Services: Although you have more privacy and self-sufficiency in an aparthotel, you can still enjoy certain hotel services such as cleaning, reception and sometimes a gym or swimming pool.

Why choose an aparthotel?

Aparthotels are the perfect choice for modern travelers looking for the best of both worlds: the flexibility and comfort of an apartment, with the luxury and convenience of hotel services. They are ideal for families, business travelers, and long-term stayers who want to experience a 'home away from home'.
