Millions of business travellers every year are faced with that dislocated sense of living out of a suitcase, of remotely working on the other side of the world and not being sure what day it is - yet still are expected to bring their A-game to the boardroom.
However, once that big meeting is out of the way and you’ve wowed the Chief Executive, then suddenly a whole world of possibility opens up.
The rise of the ‘bleisure’ phenomenon is allowing hard-working business people across the globe to mix work with pleasure in amazing new ways by adding a day or two onto their trips for some much-needed rest, relaxation and sightseeing.
You can look around and discover a place teeming with cultural wonder, incredible landmarks, stunning views and wonderful new people - and you’re ready to dive right in, turning an inconvenient trip into an unforgettable stay.
So you’ve found yourself in an amazing location - now how do you make the most of it?
We provide the perfect backdrop for mixing business and pleasure. Our hotels offer extensive in-room dining options, relaxing post-work food and drink possibilities and great facilities for unwinding or working out - so don’t forget your gym clothes!
We work hard to provide a home-away-from-home as well as an office-away-from-the-office, from warmer welcomes and business-friendly locations, to tailored pillow selections and newspapers on arrival. Only bring true washbag essentials, as toiletries are supplied by us, which is especially handy for those who are flying and need to travel light.
Our city centre locations make business travel easy, be it London, Bath, Edinburgh, Glasgow or Dundee. Indeed, many of our hotels have quieter areas to enable solo travellers to get work done and make full use of the complimentary, high-speed Wi-Fi.
When it comes to maximising business and pleasure, we have three great business locations across the City of London. We've got Apex Temple Court Hotel on the famous Fleet Street, Apex London Wall Hotel in the midst of the financial district, and Apex City of London, which is just a short walk from the Tower of London.
Apex City of Bath Hotel meanwhile is just a short walk from the train station and local business offices. It’s also a five minute wander from well-known attractions like the Roman Baths and Thermae Bath Spa, which you’ll want to visit during your downtime.
In Edinburgh, we have Apex Waterloo Place Hotel just off the famous Princes Street, which is perfect for offices on George Street and easy access to Waverley Station. There’s also Apex Grassmarket Hotel and Apex City of Edinburgh Hotel, which are both within easy reach of the Edinburgh International Conference Centre, while Apex Haymarket Hotel is only 200 metres from Haymarket train station.
Furthermore, the centrally located Apex City of Glasgow Hotel is perfect for SSE Hydro events, and close to bus and train stations.
Last but not least, Apex City Quay Hotel & Spa in Dundee is just a short stroll from the V&A, and just a five minute walk from the train station.
