Bathrooms are the new bedrooms

Because serviced apartments provide business travellers with a 'home from home' experience, they tend to exhibit the same trends as high-end residential apartments. From luxurious large format tiling to full height glazing, this ...etc etc....

So it's no surprise that, in similar vein to London's upper echelons of residential properties, at SACO's new luxury serviced apartments in Canary Wharf you'll find two bathrooms to every two bedrooms.

Indeed, it's not uncommon to read bathrooms numbered among bedrooms in estate agents' descriptions! So is this a new era – are bathrooms the new bedrooms?

Convenience

When there's more than one occupant, it makes it perfectly convenient if there's no need to wait for one another. Having one bathroom between no more than two people offers everyone the chance to get ready at their own speed. It lets your serviced apartment provide the leisure and business traveller alike with a virtual red carpet from the alarm clock to the front door.

Luxury

One of the biggest defining factors in 'luxury' accommodation is the concept of personal space – something which SACO apartments offer over and above similarly priced hotel accommodation. And why not apply this to bathrooms too? The more the better: your toiletries aren't jostling for space with others, the towel rail doesn't get crowded.

Lifestyle

Because bathrooms are ascending the pecking order in accommodation descriptions, they're also benefitting from more attention when it comes to decor. After all, if you lead a fast paced mobile lifestyle you're bound to want to relax when you're back at base – which may well include time spent unwinding in the bathtub. So instead of being treated as mere functional rooms, serviced apartment companies like SACO are increasingly equipping and decorating their bathrooms with lifestyle in mind: deep colours, large-format tiling, generous mirrors, a bathtub in every one, and luxury toiletries provided as standard.
