Those who travel often for business usually develop habits to enhance their comfort while traveling. These habits often include the type of bathroom layout and the choice between a bathtub or a shower. This could include if a kitchen is required or if their budget allows dining out. It can also dictate whether a studio or one-bedroom apartment-style hotel room is preferred.
The choice between a studio or a one-bedroom apartment may come down to the traveling budget allowed by the employer or may simply be a matter of choice. We’ll explore the average layouts of both a studio and a one-bedroom apartment hotel room to help you decide which works better for you and your needs.
Long or Short Trip?
The duration of your trip will influence your accommodation choice with a tendency to select the most budget friendly room. This often equates to a studio room being popular with shorter trips, but you may end up regretting your decision if your trip needs to be extended. Single rooms can become claustrophobic over time, and the thought of an extended stay in the particular lodging may not be appealing. Having the flexibility to move to another room can make your accommodations seem roomier and make your extended stay easier to deal with.
Layouts Can Make a Difference
While a one-bedroom apartment is generally the roomier option, a creatively laid-out studio apartment can seem comparable to a one-bedroom hotel room. Designing the sleeping area on a higher or lower level than the common living area by a step or two can create a sense of movement into another room. It’s a clever accent that architects employ to harmonize distance and definition between living and sleeping areas.
Dividing the sleeping and living areas by a low wall can also create the perception of two rooms, although this is less effective in a small room.
To create an impression of extra space, some hotel architects use an L-shape design, placing the sleeping perpendicular to the living quarters.
Comfort is the Key
Ultimately, the deciding factor of what type of hotel room is preferable may depend on the type of living arrangements you enjoy at home. People who travel frequently try to match the comfort level of their accommodations to their home. If you live in a form fitting studio apartment, then a studio hotel room should suffice, even for a long stay.
