Room Mate launches apartment-hotel hybrid service

Sunday, 22 Sep, 2014 0

Spanish hotel chain Room Mate has launched a new apartment rental-hotel hybrid service which offers customers a selection of private rental properties and complimentary use of its hotel amenities.

BeMate.com has launched with an initial 2,500 apartments located close to its own hotel properties in 10 cities in Europe and the Americas including New York, Mexico City and Miami.

By the year end it plans to cover up to 200 cities and launch apps for iPhone and Android users.

While staying in an apartment, guests get access to the support and services of a local Room Mate or partner hotel such as housekeeping, airport transfers, breakfast, luggage storage and concierge services.

"Building on the success and rapid growth of the Room Mate brand, we were eager to offer consumers a new way to travel," said Enrique Sarasola, president of Room Mate.

BeMate.com’s listed accommodations range from studios to four bedrooms and include both apartments and houses with private facilities.

The company says the BeMate.com concept comes from customer feedback, and the company also plans to expand its own hotel portfolio to 29 properties within the next two years.
