With a new range of furnishings and decoration, twelve residences will open in 2009 in France and one in Arlon, Belgium. In 2010, we plan to exceed a total of 70 residences, with a target of 140 residences by 2015. Our priority is to establish ourselves in the heart of France's major cities.<\/p>\n<h2>What makes renting serviced flats an attractive alternative to \"ordinary\" hotels?<\/h2>\n<p>Our success is based on two fundamentals: the comfort\/price benchmark and a formula for living in complete freedom. Appart'City residences are designed to welcome and make life easier for men and women who need to stay away from home. They offer spacious, comfortable flats with top-quality facilities: kitchen with microwave and dishwasher, comfortable bathroom, lounge and office area, etc., quality equipment: telephone, Internet access, LCD TV with cable channels, etc. and \u00e0 la carte services: breakfast, laundry, parking, etc.<\/p>\n<h2>How important are business customers to Appart'City?<\/h2>\n<p>Business customers account for 85 % of our business. More than 500 SMEs and nearly 1,000 key accounts place their trust in us. The chain has confirmed the relevance and effectiveness of its offering, with sales growth of almost 40 % every year for the last four years and an occupancy rate of over 80 %.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Philippe Piat, Managing Director of Appart'City, talks to Voyages
