Summer is the season of getaways, spontaneous city breaks, and well-earned downtime. Whether you’re planning a family trip or simply escaping for a few days with a partner (or even solo!) choosing the right accommodation is key to a stress-free and premium experience.
If you’re travelling to London or Bristol, serviced apartments are an increasingly popular alternative to hotels. And for good reason. Read our blog post about the difference between the two here.
Here’s why luxury serviced apartments in Bristol and London are the ultimate choice for your summer holiday, family or not.
Space, Privacy & Flexibility
One of the biggest perks of booking a serviced apartment, especially during the summer, is the extra space. Compared to standard hotel rooms, serviced apartments offer a home-away-from-home feel, complete with fully equipped kitchens, living areas, and sometimes even private balconies or terraces.
Whether you’re a family looking for accommodation in Bristol or a couple planning a romantic London city break, having your own space to relax, cook, and unwind makes all the difference.
Central Locations to Explore the City
Urban Apartments are located in the heart of both Bristol and London, meaning you’re just minutes from the city’s top sights, shopping, and dining scenes.
- In Bristol, explore the colourful streets of Clifton, take a stroll along the Harbourside, or hop aboard a boat tour of the city.
- In London, you can walk to key attractions like the West End, Borough Market, or Hyde Park from our centrally located serviced apartments.

Better Value for Summer Stays
Hotels can be pricey and restrictive, especially in peak summer months. Serviced apartments often provide better value, especially for families or groups, with more room to spread out and no hidden extras like mini-bar charges or room service fees.
You can cook meals, do laundry, and truly live like a local, which not only saves money but also enhances your travel experience.
Ideal for Every Type of Traveller
Not travelling with kids? No problem. Urban Apartments are equally perfect for:
- Solo travellers wanting a safe, stylish base in the city
- Couples seeking a luxury romantic escape
- Digital nomads or professionals working remotely
- Groups of friends on a weekend break
Our guests love the balance between hotel-style service and the comfort of self-contained living spaces.
