Making the Switch: A Comprehensive Guide for Travel Managers Transitioning to Condos

9 minute read

In the dynamic landscape of corporate travel, businesses are exploring the advantages of transitioning from hotels to condos.

Making this switch provides long-term, personalized solutions for business travelers and offers various benefits as a business asset. For US businesses with a significant presence in Bermuda, Bermudiana Beach Resort, Tapestry Collection by Hilton, emerges as an exceptional option. 

This article highlights the key steps you need to take when switching from hotels to condos. 

 

Hotel vs. Condos

If you’ve read the other articles in this series, you’ll know all about the surprising costs of corporate housing and the benefits of condos for businesses. Here are the main differences between hotels and condos when traveling for work:

 

1. Personalized Comfort

Hotels

  • While comfortable, hotel rooms lack the personal touch of a home-like setting. You need more space and amenities to fully settle into a routine during extended stays.

Condos

  • Condos offer that home-away-from-home feeling with separate living, dining and sleeping areas.
  • Bermudiana Beach Resort condos feature kitchens that allow you to maintain your lifestyle, cook your own meals and create a more comfortable living space while you work.

 

2. Undisrupted Privacy 

Hotels

  • Hotels are often busy with vacation-goers, leading to noise and potential disturbances — especially if you’re hosting guests in the hotel or a meeting.

Condos

  • Condos provide a quieter and more private environment, allowing employees to concentrate on work without disruptions or distractions.

 

 

3. Long-Term Sustainability

Hotels

  • Hotel stays are designed for short-term accommodation, quickly becoming expensive and impractical for prolonged business assignments.

Condos

  • Condos offer a sustainable and cost-effective solution for long-term stays, catering to the evolving needs of businesses with consistent operations in Bermuda.
  • The ability to rent out unused condo spaces when not in use further enhances the long-term viability of this accommodation model.
