What is an Apartment Hotel?
Apartment Hotels offer self-contained accommodation, with separate bedrooms, plus kitchen and laundry facilities, and may not have some of the services of a traditional hotel, such as room service, daily housekeeping, and on-site restaurants or bars.
Travellers prefer apartment hotels, which is a serviced apartment style, for a number of reasons:
- Privacy & Escape - Separate bedrooms allow privacy and quiet from your travel mates. Weekly housekeeping services mean you will be left to sleep, without disturbance.
- Great Value - With rates comparable to traditional hotels, guests can save significantly on their food costs by utilizing our great kitchen facilities - rather than pricey room service or minibars.
- Spaciousness - Our apartments are much bigger than many hotel rooms - open plan living and separate bedrooms make our apartments much more New Zealandble than traditional hotel rooms.
- Less environmental impact - Guests who are conscious of their carbon footprint will delight in knowing they can do their bit by choosing a Waldorf Apartment. We use refillable soap containers in our bathrooms in many of our properties - saving over 200,000 miniature soap and shampoo bottles from being created, every year! Self-catering means guests can shop to personal preference of ingredients for your meals, to limit plastic New Zealandge or to purchase locally made products, just like you do at home.
