Do any hotels in London offer long-term apartments?
Yes. London has serviced apartments and aparthotel-style residences that cater to longer stays. The London Residency collection lists monthly stays of 28 nights or more, with examples of stays of 90 nights, three months and six months, alongside three and six-month residential rentals.
If you are picturing a traditional hotel room with a mini-fridge, that is not really what long-term accommodation in London looks like. The city's extended-stay market is built around serviced apartments: self-contained flats with kitchens and living space, run with hotel-style services such as reception. Some occupy part of a larger building — Jeeves, for instance, occupies the second floor of Claridge House on Davies Street — while others, such as 130 Queensgate, are dedicated residence buildings with 24-hour reception. The distinction between an aparthotel and a serviced apartment is worth understanding before you book, and it is covered in the comparison guides on the London Residency site.
[2]What counts as a long-term option
The London Residency collection splits its coverage by length of stay. Short stays are handled by quote. Monthly stays are defined as 28 nights or more, and the site cites real examples from its residences: 90 nights at Darley House, three months at Hill Street and six months at Amberley. Beyond that, there is a separate category of residential long-term rentals — 34 listings at the time of writing — covering three-month and six-month flats marketed by letting agents with monthly asking rents, in areas including Mayfair, Soho, Covent Garden, Fitzrovia and Bloomsbury.
[2]A worked comparison: monthly apartment versus residential rental
Suppose, hypothetically, you are relocating for four months and need a two-bedroom place near Bond Street. One route is a serviced residence such as Jeeves in Claridge House on Davies Street, which has two bedrooms, a study and 1,679 square feet, priced by enquiry with a three-night minimum — so a four-month stay may be possible, but the terms would need confirming. The other route is a residential letting, where flats are listed by letting agents with monthly asking rents. The trade-off is flexibility against cost structure: serviced apartments quote per stay and handle bookings directly, while residential rentals follow the letting-agent model with monthly rents. Which is cheaper for your dates is not something any listing can tell you in advance, because most residences in the collection price by enquiry rather than publishing rates.
[2]What the listings cannot tell you
A few things need verifying rather than assuming. The homepage shows one indicative published rate, from £295 per night at 130 Queensgate in Kensington, but the featured residences are otherwise price-by-enquiry, so there is no published nightly or monthly rate to compare. Whether a specific residence accepts a stay of your exact length, and on what terms, is decided residence by residence: the three-night minimums shown on listings are the published short-stay terms, and anything longer must be confirmed by enquiry.
[2]How to get a firm answer
The enquiry process is straightforward. Choose an apartment and check its address, bedrooms and floor area. Send the team your dates, budget, number of guests and number of bedrooms needed. They request quotes from the residences, and you review the quote and book and pay the residence directly, with no booking fee and no payment details needed at the enquiry stage. For work trips, you can send your office address and bedroom count so the search can be anchored to your commute.
[2]The practical next step: write a short brief with your dates, area preference, budget and bedroom count, then submit it as an enquiry. Quotes from the residences will tell you what a long stay actually costs, which is the only reliable way to compare a serviced apartment against a residential rental for your situation.
