Travelers who like the less-touristy idea of booking an apartment when they're visiting a new city but also want the amenities of a hotel can now have both with BeMate.com, a service that launched Wednesday with 2,500 apartments in 10 cities including New York, Miami, Florence, Amsterdam and Madrid.
The spaces, studios to four-bedrooms, have upscale furnishings and full kitchens and come with perks typically reserved for hotel guests.
The concept was created by Enrique Sarasola, the owner of the Madrid-based Room Mate Hotels, a design-centric brand with 18 worldwide locations, and because all the apartments are a 10-minute walk from one of the properties or another affiliate of a comparable level, renters will have access to that hotel's services.
They can pick up and drop off keys, store their luggage and call the concierge 24 hours a day for extra pillows or blankets, restaurant reservations, getting a broken appliance fixed or a medical emergency. For an additional fee, they can have turndown service, babysitting and housekeeping.
Mr. Sarasola said that a member of BeMate.com's staff has toured each of the apartments on its site and that he is trying to address a challenge many travelers face. "So many of us, myself included, want the homey feel of an apartment when we're on the road but don't want to give up the conveniences of staying at a hotel," he said.
He said he plans to expand to more than 200 cities by the end of 2015 and will introduce an app for iPhones and Android in November. Rates from $200 a night.
