Here\u2019s why <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/metroresidences.com\/hk-en\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">serviced apartments<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> check those boxes. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Keep a healthy state of mind<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Imagine your colleague doing her work in a room. She eats in her room, sleeps and watches TV in this 325 square feet shoe box. Now imagine her having the same routine for 3 months in the same room. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When you take someone away from home and put them within 4 walls to work, you restrict the mind from being able to draw clear distinctions between daily activities. In serviced apartments, you can work and play as it should be.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Serviced apartments not only offer the space for comfortable daily living, but residential style units often come with windows that you can actually open. Fresh air and warm sunlight are essential for good living. But serviced apartments are healthy for the mind too.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Bedrooms for rest, kitchens for cooking and living rooms for living. Your boss\/employee will appreciate the care taken to provide them with a space where they can be comfortable. You aren&#8217;t just looking for a space they can work from. They need a space to live in. <\/span>[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"img-with-aniamtion-wrap \" data-max-width=\"100%\" data-border-radius=\"none\"><div class=\"inner\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-shadow=\"none\" data-shadow-direction=\"middle\" class=\"img-with-animation \" data-delay=\"0\" height=\"800\" width=\"1200\" data-animation=\"fade-in\" src=\"https:\/\/expat.metroresidences.com\/hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/01\/ali-inay-9858-unsplash-e1546419987307.jpg\"  alt=\"\" \/><\/div><\/div>[vc_column_text css_animation=&#8221;fadeIn&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1546420410286{margin-top: 20px !important;margin-bottom: 20px !important;}&#8221;]<b>Have a <\/b><em><strong>get-together<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Speaking of needs, the living areas in serviced apartments provide the tenant with the ability to host. A fully equipped kitchen to prepare meals and an area to welcome guests. It\u2019s much easier to greet people with a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">living space<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> rather than just a room.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Business meetings cum client lunches, you can have them at \u2018home\u2019. Keep a healthy social life active and throw small gatherings over at \u2018your place\u2019. Being in another country doesn&#8217;t mean one has to always rely on others for social outings. Bask in the independence that space provides. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>It\u2019s cheaper<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A growing reason to have you looking at a serviced apartment rather than a hotel is the point that it is arguably cheaper for long-term stays.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Keeping to a budget can always make or break a decision. Serviced apartments offer more value for money with regards to the space they provide. If you think about it, with hotels, you are paying a fixed rate for the number of guests. Whereas with apartments you\u2019re also paying for the space and facilities provided.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sometimes sticking to a budget means skimping and doing away with luxury. With serviced apartments, you won&#8217;t have to.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"img-with-aniamtion-wrap \" data-max-width=\"100%\" data-border-radius=\"none\"><div class=\"inner\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-shadow=\"none\" data-shadow-direction=\"middle\" class=\"img-with-animation \" data-delay=\"0\" height=\"1200\" width=\"1600\" data-animation=\"fade-in\" src=\"https:\/\/expat.metroresidences.com\/hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/01\/mimi-thian-737729-unsplash-1.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/expat.metroresidences.com\/hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/01\/mimi-thian-737729-unsplash-1.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/expat.metroresidences.com\/hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/01\/mimi-thian-737729-unsplash-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/expat.metroresidences.com\/hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/01\/mimi-thian-737729-unsplash-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/expat.metroresidences.com\/hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/01\/mimi-thian-737729-unsplash-1-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, 100vw\" alt=\"\" \/><\/div><\/div>[vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Keep your friends close.&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h3|text_align:left&#8221; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1541560994699{margin-bottom: 20px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_text css_animation=&#8221;fadeIn&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1546420421291{margin-top: 20px !important;margin-bottom: 20px !important;}&#8221;]<b>Add structure to your life<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The flexibility offered by serviced apartments allows for more than one employee. During longer stays, some individuals might be less than willing to share a room with a colleague. Serviced apartments offer the option of separate bedrooms.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The accommodating space you find in serviced apartments also allows for little things that make one feel less away from home. Things like washing machines; allowing you to do your own laundry and kitchens; to prepare your own meals.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It&#8217;s easy to forget current human needs when making such decisions but your main aim here is to limit the feeling of <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">displacement<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> as much as possible. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Temporary Home<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">With serviced apartments, one is essentially getting a space that feels like a home. Working and living from an unfamiliar environment is never easy. So it makes things easier to cope with when you can operate from somewhere you feel comfortable in. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The main aim is always to always care for your employee\u2019s wellbeing by making sure he\/she has the right tools and environment to produce efficiently with a healthy state of mind. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">So do yourself and everyone else a favour; leave hotels to the tourist and pick that <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/metroresidences.com\/hk-en\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">serviced apartment<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> if you mean business. \u00a0<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;padding-4-percent&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color=&#8221;#fefeff&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;10px&#8221; top_margin=&#8221;-20%&#8221; width=&#8221;5\/6&#8243; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Hotel?
