The Sweet Inn Experience: Serviced apartments with a hotel feel

By Lily Niu   |  

During a recent trip to Paris, I wanted to experience the city in a way I hadn’t had the chance to before. Sure, there are some who’d scoff at the idea of yet another city break enthusiast attempting to “live like a local” but thanks to Sweet Inn’s design apartments offering hotel services, I enjoyed the best of both worlds without compromise.

Sweet Inn’s ethos is simple, “Travel like a local, live the holiday.” With a number of high-end apartments in their property portfolio spanning Paris, Brussels, Barcelona, Rome, Lisbon, Jerusalem, and Tel Aviv, there are a wealth of experiences to be had in each of these cities, but ones that entail the comfort of a home-like environment coupled with the luxuries of hotel services. Think express laundry/dry cleaning service, housekeeping, high-quality natural bath products, free Wi-Fi, a Nespresso machine, and more.

Given that I wanted to be as conveniently located as possible, I opted for Sweet Inn’s Saint Germain II apartment. Decorated with a tasteful musical theme to mirror the area’s vibrant jazz scene, the apartment is well connected and only minutes away from Odeon, Mabillon, and Saint Germain metro stations. Those who’d prefer to eschew public transportation are able to order a chauffeured car from guest relations to take them wherever they wish.

Check-in is a simple procedure; prior to my stay, I was sent an email through which I was able to access a mobile friendly page to input my ideal check-in time and state what amenities I require such as airport transfer. Our guest relations was pleasant and communicative, answering any questions I had about the apartment as well as the local area with pleasure. While there was a local supermarket just around the corner (It’d been some time that I’d enjoyed a home cooked meal and was eager to rustle up something in the newly renovated kitchen), I did toy with the idea of making use of Sweet Inn’s grocery delivery service.

For work purposes, Sweet Inn could not be more exceptional in its service. Free high-speed Wi-Fi is usually a given in any hotel or serviced apartment but I truly felt that Sweet Inn was well equipped; in addition to providing a smartphone charger suitable for any device, there were multi-country adapters, USB sockets, and even the option to rent a local smartphone.

As for a good night’s rest, you can count on Sweet Inn to ensure clean and luxurious bed linen is provided. In contrast to your typical hotel stay, you’ll have the option of arranging housekeeping before or during your time with Sweet Inn, so there’s no danger of having to clean and tidy the property yourself should you wish for a lie-in.
