Luxury spending is experiencing a high in the United States. According to a Survey of Affluence and Wealth report conducted by Time Inc., luxury spending across affluent homes in America was expected to spike by 6.6 percent, a trend that has continued to hold strong. Millennial travelers today are also spending more. Another report from MMGY Global found that 45% of millennials were willing to spend more on luxury lodging.
There’s a reason why so many business travelers today are dishing out money for luxury. For business travelers, hotels become temporary homes. If you travel for business and stay at business hotels, here are a few reasons why you upgrading your room in a business hotel is worth it:
Unrivaled Comfort:
As a business traveler, you’re looking for a home away from home; a place where you can rest in complete luxury. Upgrading hotel rooms provide that and more. Often, upgraded rooms have higher thread count sheets, luxurious cozy, and stylish furnishing across each room, large windows, high-end appliances, deep soak tubs, en-suite bathrooms, and much more. These comfort options are rarely found in standard rooms and are well worth the splurge.
That is why Blu Corporate Housing takes care of all your housing needs and requirements. They make sure to expend every effort to deliver exactly what you asked for, so you don’t have to settle for less.
Special Access Areas:
When you upgrade your room in many business hotels, this guarantees access to special areas of the hotel that are off-limits or at extra cost to others. For example, your hotel might have a business lounge reserved for guests in certain areas of the hotel.
Wellness perks are also important, and many business hotels have well-equipped gyms. These gyms are very convenient for businessmen who don’t have the time to research the best options for a temporary gym pass that doesn’t require membership. Some hotels even have small in-room gym studios, complete with equipment and workout videos.
Other special access areas might include meditation rooms, spas, saunas, and conference rooms or offices.
Additional Amenities:
One of the best tips for business travelers is to find hotels that match their needs. Upgraded hotel rooms also have more perks and furniture designed with the businessperson in mind. For example, something as simple as a dual-purpose bedside table goes a long way. Other perks include better bathrobes, slippers, extra-security safe boxes, alarm services, and more.
The best business hotels even take things a step further. A few of the extras you have access to include many necessities that you may have forgotten: lint rollers, power adaptors, extra computer chargers, and even name-brand running shoes for the loan.
Depending on where you are, you’ll find that some hotels offer amenities that cater to the local area. For example, Colorado’s Western Snowmass offers guest humidifiers to help them adjust to the dry mountain air. At the Ritz Carlton in Los Angeles, families sitting at an exclusive pool have access to baby packages complete with diapers, wipes, and sunscreen for children.
Then there are the simple amenities that especially matter to business travelers, like better blinds and thick curtains that completely block out light for those that have taken red eyes and want to sleep in a little longer. This little luxury all makes a difference to the on-the-go individual.
Butler Service:
Long gone are the days when butlers served royalty and the mega-rich exclusively. Butlers have long been associated with households of the rich and famous, but today, they’re also appearing as temporary luxuries at fine hotels. Believe it or not, there are some penthouses and suites that offer butler services as a perk. This butler service once again helps enhance the hotel experience. Just because you don’t have a butler in your everyday life doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy one while you’re on a stressful, time-consuming business trip.
For those who aren’t accustomed to having a butler, it can be confusing at first. It’s a strange feeling adjusting to someone whose job is to serve you and keep you happy. But once you’ve been around a butler, you start to understand that it’s not an uncomfortable relationship at all. The services of a butler range from place to place but generally speaking, they help you with things like reservations, laundry, meal services, ironing, drawing a bath, and virtually anything you might need to make your stay more comfortable and seamless. They can be as involved or hands-off as you’d like.
Unparalleled Experience:
Today, more people than ever aren’t just paying for a comfortable bed or some extra amenities. They’re paying for the experience: the cumulative benefits of all the aforementioned amenities, stellar service, and conveniences. Social scientists have found that people are happier when they spend money on experiences, rather than objects.
Part of the reason is that experiences are unique, and tailored to a person: you can have the same car as someone else, but someone cannot have an identical experience as you. While possessions depreciate in the value of time, experiences become nostalgic and invaluable.
The luxury suites of today—from the penthouses in New York City to the executive suites in Dubai—all aim to create an experience.
