Serviced apartments are a fairly new phenomenon: a decade ago people were happy staying in a hotel, but changing times and developing property has resulted in a host of serviced apartments being made available all over the country. Available for rates comparable with a decent hotel room, these luxury apartments can be found in almost every city in the UK, and treat the guest to a taste of the upmarket inner-city lifestyle.

Many apartments in London, for example, would be prohibitively expensive to purchase or rent, but as serviced apartments are affordable for short-term stays. Collingham apartments can be found in the Kensington area, making them walking distance from Olympia, Earls Court and the Royal Albert Hall - perfect lodgings for those attending events at these venues.

It isn't only London apartments, however, that bring you affordable yet stylish serviced accommodation. Leeds shows its sophistication through Residence 6 apartments, which combine sophistication with comfort, including facilities such as personal shopping and a dvd/video game library in every flat. Apartments in Newcastle are also popular, especially Centralofts apartments - designed and furnished by professional interior designers, these serviced apartments offer stunning views of the city centre as well as stone's-throw proximity to most of Newcastle's best shops, bars, restaurants and clubs.

It doesn't matter where you're going - Edinburgh's apartments have the same style and opulence as those found in any other city; offering stylish accommodation at a price that won't break the bank.
