Accommodation Partners and Situ: how our close relationships ensure a smooth stay

When booking accommodation for business travel, the last thing you want is an unwelcome surprise. That’s why at Situ, we go beyond simply offering a place to stay. Through strong relationships with our global network of accommodation Partners, we work hard to make sure properties booked through us not only meet, but exceed our clients’ expectations. Our hands-on approach and commitment to understanding both our Partners and clients means we can deliver top-notch, bespoke accommodation solutions every time.

We know our Partners

We take pride in the fantastic relationship we have with our global network of accommodation Partners. Our Situ’ers regularly venture out into the world to get to know our suppliers and spend time in their accommodation to better understand the clients they’re best suited to.

As well as the people behind the properties, we’re also keen to gather all the intel we can about the properties themselves. That’s why we regularly host our Partners for Lunch & Learn sessions. For these meet-ups, our Partners visit us at our HQ in Exeter and deliver a presentation to our Situ’ers about the properties they offer. Not only is this an excellent way for our team to get familiar with our stock, but it’s also another method for us to build close relationships with our Partners, allowing us to clinch the best possible options and prices for our clients (and get to know a great group of people!).

How Partner relationships benefit clients

The strong partnerships we have built over the years allow us to be flexible and resourceful when helping our clients. These close ties mean we can source ideal accommodation solutions, even for the most complex projects. Whether it’s securing serviced apartments at short notice or ensuring long-term accommodation with specific requirements, our Partners help us deliver.

For instance, in Dublin, our strong connections within to buy-to-rent industry allowed us to source a block of sixty brand-new apartments for a relocating tech company. Our Account Managers worked closely with the Partner to establish housekeeping and service resources to ensure the properties were up to our usual Situ standards. They also managed check-in and check-out dates, maintaining an impressive 99% occupancy rate. This collaborative effort ensured our client received the best housing for their team, with maximum cost efficiency and minimal stress for their employees.
