An aparthotel (or apart-hotel) is a type of accommodation that combines the amenities and services of a hotel with the space and independence of a furnished apartment. Aparthotels typically offer fully equipped kitchens, living areas, and bedrooms alongside hotel-like services such as reception, housekeeping, and concierge. They cater to both short-term and extended-stay guests and are particularly popular in urban markets. Aparthotels are increasingly managed using vacation rental PMS platforms.
Why this matters for property managers
This format blends hotel service revenue (housekeeping, front desk, longer stays) with the space and lower operating cost of apartments, appealing to extended-stay and business guests. The model can smooth occupancy across seasons but carries higher staffing and service expectations than a plain rental. Zoning and licensing often treat it differently from both hotels and homes.
