A home with the hotel attached
Over 500 branded residences across 73 countries — bought, leased, or taken serviced by the month. We keep the record on all of them, and nobody pays us to prefer one.

The idea
If you like the hotel, why not live in it
Nobody aggregates these. There are portals for flats and portals for hotels, and for the five hundred-odd buildings that are both there is a brochure from each developer and nothing that puts them side by side. So we built the list: every branded residence we can verify, with the operator, the tenure and the terms on one page.
We work with the local partners and the sales teams directly — the people holding the inventory rather than a portal reselling it — which is how a unit that never reaches a listing site reaches you, and how the price you are quoted is the one the building is actually taking.
Buy, rent or stay
Three ways to live in a hotel residence

For sale
You own it, and the brand runs it
You buy the apartment, freehold or leasehold, and the hotel brand manages the building. Owners use the hotel’s services, and the brand’s standards help the flat hold its value.
See sale64
To rent
A long lease in the same buildings
A lease of a year or more in the same buildings. Many of these flats are never advertised, so we ask the owners and the operators directly.

Serviced
Furnished, and home from the day you check in
It comes fully furnished and equipped, so you are ready to call it home from your check-in date. Housekeeping and the front desk are included, it is billed by the month, and there is no long lease.

Where the numbers are the point
Some of these are bought to be lived in and some to be let. The brochure will call both an opportunity; the arithmetic is different, and so is the building you should be looking at.
Rental programmes
The operator lets your flat when you are not in it and splits the revenue. The split, the blackout dates and who pays for the refit every seven years are where the return is actually decided.
Guaranteed returns
A developer promising six per cent for three years is usually lending you your own money back out of the purchase price. Sometimes it is still the right building. We will tell you which.
The branded premium
Branded residences sell above the unbranded tower next door. How much of that survives to resale depends on the operator staying — which is a contract with an end date, and we read it.
The operator behind it
Who manages it, on what contract, and for how long. A brand on the door is a licence with a term, and knowing when that term ends is most of the diligence.
Nobody pays for placement
Developers pay to sit at the top of most portals you will use. They do not pay for it here. What you get is the list, in the order that suits you rather than the order that was bought.

A year in one city, a base between two, or somewhere to put capital that also has a bed in it. The answer differs by tenure, and the tenure is where the conversation starts.
