We were asked to demonstrate that using serviced apartments would deliver savings against the equivalent hotel spend. The solution We worked with the client to understand their requirements in terms of location and budget. We identifed a number of viable options and familiarised the client with the options and product to arrive at a preferred list of apartments. We analysed information relating to room nights and frequency of stay to deliver a client specifc rate from a wide range of suppliers with whom we have developed strong relationships. The solution presented to the client resulted in achieving a saving equating to 50% against the existing hotel contract. Not only did the company save a considerable sum on their travel budget, their employees gained immeasurable beneft from the space to relax, entertain and a home from home resulting in: A saving of 139k per annum Improvements in staff engagement and productivity A satisfed set of partner apartments, achieving proftable increased occupancy A win-win result for both client and apartment provider Current Hotel Apartments sharing a two bed Saving over 2800 nights Room Rate Per person 114 79.20 97,440 Food allowance 25 10 42,000 139,440 Citybase, Telephone House 3rd Floor, Fenton Street, Lancaster, LA1 1AB T +44 (0)845 4300124 F +44 (0)845 2269832 E premieraccount@citybaseapartments.com www.citybaseapartments.com Case study Industry Sector: Insurance The client Global insurance company based in London with multiple locations and subsidiary companies in the UK. 25 million accommodation spend in the UK with over 65,000 room nights per year in Central London alone. With the high volume of accommodation required in London our client wanted to offer apartments as an additional option to those travellers staying 3 nights or more. Apartments offer more space and freedom than a conventional hotel room which our client had recognised as an advantage to their employees. In addition our client can make savings on subsistence costs by avoiding costly Hotel restaurants and inclusive breakfast rates. In addition to the transient needs of the client, there is also a requirement to provide options for employees who were visiting on project assignments or relocating offces. All temporary accommodation needed to comply with company standards and the travel policy. The challenge To provide a Service apartment programme to complement their current Hotel programme in London. Negotiate rates to match existing programme costs. Bookable through their incumbent Travel Management Company. All the apartments selected had to comply with standard hotel cancellation policies and to provide free broadband. Full Management Information reporting on a quarterly basis. To be compliant with disaster recovery process and care of duty programme. Working with existing TMC to communicate the programme and manage the booking process. The solution Serviced apartment suppliers were selected in key locations according to their strict criteria. Each provider agreed to the clients terms in return for specifed volumes of business. Rates were negotiated to match and in some cases were below existing Hotel programme levels. All rates included the clients key benefts specifed for the employee staying at the property. In summary a new serviced apartment programme was created to exceed the clients expectations and deliver their full requirements. 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) 259 Marine Road Central, Morecambe, Lancashire, LA4 4BJ T +44 (0)845 4300124 F +44 (0)845 2269832 E premieraccount@citybaseapartments.com www.citybaseapartments.com Viewing the Apartments Online All apartments can be viewed online by clicking on the apartment name on the previous page.
