Still booking boring, lifeless hotel rooms when you go away? Lets face it unless you spend what most of us pay in a months rent for a few nights you’re not going to end up with the most kicking of locations or properties… or will you? We’ve just stumbled upon a brand new concept that is like air b’n’b on crack…
In a nutshell BeMate.com works as a collaborative community that will connect hosts, properties and travellers offering innovative new holiday apartment rentals in some of the world’s most exciting cities with the best hotel services for a price you can actually stomach. To good to be true? Nope, stick with us and lets look under the hood…
CITY APARTMENTS WITH A DIFFERENCE: BeMate.com currently offers 2,500 handpicked apartments for rental, with this number expected to rise with the launch of new locations in the coming months, with predictions of BeMate.com being in 150 cities, including London, by the end of 2014. Backed by the initial support of the hotel chain Room Mate, BeMate.com fuses the freedom of a city apartment with the best facilities of a hotel: 24 hours concierge, delivery and collection of keys, luggage storage, tourist information as well as a number of additional services from daily cleaning and airport transfers to a full fridge on arrival and tickets to shows. BeMate.com ensures that all the apartments fulfill certain requirements to ensure its quality, condition and a prime location. This aspiration to provide travellers with an unforgettable stay in the heart of some of the world’s most famous cities, sets BeMate.com apart from its competitors.
FEEL AT HOME ALL OVER THE WORLD: This pioneering vision was previously expressed in founder Kike Sarasola’s hotel business Room Mate. Kike’s belief that travelling should feel like a home away from away, has inspired each hotel to have its own name and individual personality to suit the city its located in. BeMate.com goes one step further, bringing together a city full of hosts and properties who will make each and every traveller feel at home. With a careful selection of properties, featuring personalised design and an unbeatable location in the heart of the city, this new project is set to revolutionise the city break getaway.
BeMate.com will offer its new accommodation in cities where Room Mate hotels are currently located, including Madrid, Barcelona, Malaga, Salamanca and Granada in Spain, Amsterdam and Florence in Europe, New York and Miami in the United States and Mexico DF. The goal is to be present in the major capitals of the world in the next months, as the platform is opened to any hotelier who wants to be a BeMate.com ambassador in new cities.
