5 Reasons to go With Corporate Housing in Toronto

August 29, 2012

The advantages of Luxury Corporate Housing over Extended Stay Hotels

Being away from home while on business can be tough, especially if you have to be gone for a long period of time. It’s not just being in a new location, it’s also the change in lifestyle that comes with traveling.   If you’re in Toronto for business for a month or two (or more) you would be much better off going  with luxury corporate housing rather than staying at an extended stay hotel. Corporate Housing in Toronto has a number of advantages over extended stays, and going with luxury corporate housing can feel like, to coin that classic saying, a home away from home. So if it is your destination, here are a few reasons why you should consider going withcorporate housing in Toronto.

You get more options with corporate housing 

You often get more options when it comes to the style of a corporate apartment or how that apartment is furnished. Also, while extended stay hotels are usually located in major metropolitan areas, corporate housing can often be found in different types of locations.

You feel more at home in a corporate apartment 

Typically with corporate housing you get amenities like washers and dryers in the unit, as well as an actual kitchen to cook in. Being able to have a home cooked meal does a world of good combating homesickness.

One word: Space

You get much more of it with a luxury corporate housing unit than you would at an extended stay hotel.  During brief trips space is not as big a priority, but if you are spending a long period of time

It makes more sense, money wise, to go with a corporate apartment 

While it may sound expensive, renting luxury corporate housing in Toronto is actually a very good value. That’s because in a hotel you are paying for things like a gym (which you may very well not even use) or restaurants.  Because corporate housing typically doesn’t have these things they can keep their prices reasonable.

You can make it a family adventure

With a fully furnished luxury corporate apartment you have the option to bring the whole family along with you, or at the very least have them visit you for a few days. This has the effect of turning a business trip into full on family adventure.

Our hearts go out to all those who have been affected by the COVID-19 Pandemic. Rest assured that we are closely monitoring the situation and taking steps to protect our team members and guests as the situation continues to evolve.

Business Continuity

Our first step was to invoke our Business Continuity Plan. We are entirely digital and do not rely on any manual processes. We are also completely cloud-based and diversified through our use of Amazon AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure. Our office team is mobile-ready and has access to all critical infrastructure, including our cloud-based phone and booking systems. Rest assured - we are prepared to continue serving you.

Flexible Cancellations

For any new reservations booked directly with us, and until April 30, 2020, the booking can be cancelled at any time before arrival and with no cancellation fee.

New Arrivals

Toronto Public Health announced enhanced measures to protect the public on March 13, 2020, and are currently in effect until April 5, 2020. Anyone who has travelled from anywhere outside Canada, including the United States, is asked to self-isolate and avoid contact with others for 14 days.

For All Stays

Weekly Touch Up Service

For your safety and ours, weekly touch up service is cancelled until April 30, 2020. We encourage guests to utilize the ensuite washer and dryer to launder their linens and towels. For guests wishing to receive fresh linens, please send a request through Guest Services, and we will arrange to pick up your used linens (left in a bag at the front door inside the suite) and drop off fresh linen for you to use.

Our Commitment to High Cleaning Standards

We have always utilized commercial hospitality-grade cleaning procedures and supplies. We use specialized chemicals for different surfaces to ensure optimal disinfection. We also use new gloves and separate microfibre cleaning cloths for each suite to prevent cross-contamination. Any linens or cleaning cloths supplies by us have been professionally sanitized at a large commercial laundry facility.

Suite Visits by Guest Services & Maintenance

Until April 30, 2020, we will not conduct any suite tours for prospective guests, nor will any of our Maintenance or Guest Services team members visit occupied suites for any issues other than those relating to essential services.

We recognize that these are challenging times. Like many before it, this too will pass, and together we will get through it. Know that we are working around the clock to ensure you have a safe and enjoyable stay. We remain at your service 24/7 should you have any questions or concerns.
