Serviced apartments combine the comfort of your own apartment with the amenities of a hotel. They offer more space, their own kitchen and services such as cleaning or breakfast on request. Serviced apartments are therefore ideal for longer stays, whether for business or pleasure. More and more operators are recognizing the potential of serviced apartments and are making targeted investments in the expansion of existing hotels, the construction of new boarding houses or the conversion of existing properties into modern apartment buildings. In addition to traditional hotels that offer long-stay units as a supplement, more and more specialized boarding houses and apartment buildings are emerging that focus exclusively on long-term guests. With a clear focus on modern apartment architecture, high-quality apartment furnishings and energy-efficient apartment construction, such properties not only offer added value for guests – but also sustainable success for operators.

Serviced apartments appeal to a broad target group. They are particularly popular with business travelers, project workers and expats – in other words, people who want to live and work in a city for a longer period of time without a hotel room. Serviced apartments are also an attractive alternative for families or city travelers who value more space and self-catering. The growing trend towards flexible forms of living and workation offers is also strengthening the segment.

While hotel rooms are often more compact and designed more for short-term stays, serviced apartments need to cover significantly more functions. A fully equipped kitchen, functional storage solutions, a comfortable workspace and cozy retreats are all part of the basic equipment of a serviced apartment. The apartment interior design follows a clear concept: it should be homely, high-quality and durable – and at the same time reflect the operator’s brand identity. Robustness, ease of care, design quality and sustainable apartment design are the focus of every planning decision.

They enable new business models and flexible capacity utilization. Hosts can benefit from the concept that offers regular occupancy over a longer period of time and therefore planning security. As serviced apartments are equipped with a fully-fledged kitchen, a smaller restaurant offering is sufficient, which can save on staff and operating costs, among other things. Anyone who wants to set up a boarding house or build serviced apartments benefits from a sustainable business model.

A functional serviced apartment needs more than just beautiful furniture: high-quality, custom-made fixtures, flexible room solutions and a coordinated lighting, color and material concept are crucial. Our furniture manufactory creates individual built-in furniture that fits perfectly into the apartment and meets the high demands of the users. Complemented by loose furniture, accessories and lighting, the result is a harmonious apartment interior. In addition to the sleeping area and living area, an apartment also needs a workplace, a spacious bathroom and a fully equipped kitchen. On request, Appia can supply a ready-to-use kitchenette – including a stove, microwave and cooking utensils.

The conversion of an existing building such as an office or commercial space into a boarding house requires well thought-out planning. From the initial concept idea and apartment interior design through to the turnkey fit-out of apartments, we provide comprehensive support for projects. Thanks to our experience in the interior fit-out of apartments and our interdisciplinary team, we realize long-lasting solutions. We also rely on modern, high-performance systems that are both efficient and sustainable when it comes to technical building equipment.
