The document discusses the differences between serviced apartments and luxury apartments. It argues that luxury apartments are essentially high-end serviced apartments that bundle amenities into the room rate rather than allowing customers to pay separately for individual services. While expensive furnishings do not alone make a property a luxury apartment, true luxury apartments will offer high-quality room service, food, and hotel-level amenities. The document advises comparing detailed service listings and rates to avoid being misled by labels and ensure the best value.

Luxury Is Nothing but an Adjective
In late 70’s, marketing firms were seeking some fancy words in order to create a differentiation for their
products. The word “Luxury” was tossed up then. It was a kind of tag attached to some new products.
With a passage of time; it became a buzzword for some expensive services. Since then, it became
synonymous with services that are a little better from the regular lot and obscenely expensive in
comparison with the regular stuff.
Yesteryears Luxury Is the Utility for Current Times
Air conditioning, electricity, LPG, bullet train, and even luxury suites of various hotels have now become
more like the utility things in the current times. Now imagine people paying five times of price for the
same in past just because these services were in nascent stages and short in supply.

After checking and comparing more than two hundred “luxury apartments” with “serviced apartments”
in various tourism destinations; we reached on the conclusion that, in most of the cases, the word
luxury is a cover up for the entire package. “Service apartments” give you this feasibility to use services
as per your choice, whereas “luxury apartments” include them in the main course.
“Luxury Apartments” Are “High­End Serviced Apartments”
We were searching out for the differences between “Luxury apartments” and “serviced apartments”.
However, here we figured out similarities between the two. Our observations forced the conclusive line
that Luxury apartments are nothing but “high­end service apartments”.
It Is Always Better to Choose a “Serviced Apartment” in Place of a “Luxury Apartment” Suppose you are
searching it out in any particular area of Manchester city of UK. Here you find a “serviced apartment” in
any particular area and right next to it; you have an option in the form of a “Luxury apartment”. If you
want to justify this luxury apartment then here we have a tool ready for you.
Comparison Checklist Can Act As a Handy Tool
Make a list of all the amenities and the facilities that are attached to a “Serviced apartment”. Here we
are talking about things like Microwave Owen, Video library, book library, Internet facility, facility to
make international calls. Spa attached to the main property of the apartment, Gym attached to the
main property of the apartment. Food & catering services etc! Once you are done with this list, then
match it with the amenities available in the luxury apartment. Once it is done, then calculate the price;
we are sure that here you will understand the trick and opt for a serviced apartment because it is a
flexible choice.
Review the Services and Then Pay
When you hire a luxury apartment, then you are bound to pay for the entire package, no matter you
are happy with them or not. On the other hand, when you opt for a serviced apartment, then in this
case, you are a master of your choice. The ball is in your court! If you do not like any service then you
can discontinue with it and go out for a better option.

Well Furnished Never Means “Luxury Apartment”
Expensive interiors and exotic furniture do not create a “Luxury apartment”. Luxury is all about the
standard of the services that you are availing in any particular place. If you want to judge the worth of a
“Luxury apartment,” then, do not go by snap shots. Ask them about the availability of room services.
Make an inquiry about the cuisines that are available. Compare their services with star category hotels.
Then make a judgment about them. This is the correct way of assessing the worth of a “Luxury
apartment”.
Smell a Genuine “Luxury Apartment”
We are not discarding genuine “Luxury apartments;” they are very much there. Here, we are warning
you against some fake owners playing marketing pranks on you. Hire a genuine pent house with a glass
roof where water is sprawling all the time then avail it and add new colors in to your romantic
interludes, it is fine, and there is nothing wrong in that, as it deserves the price. As the concluding
remark, we would like to tell you that it is better to recheck your options all over again when you are
lured by a “Luxury apartment”. Try to check out the prices and make sure that the tag of “luxury
apartment” is not a ploy for inflating the price of the property.
