The short version

What corporate accommodation is

Corporate accommodation is furnished housing that a company books for its staff when they work away from home for weeks or months. You will also see it called corporate housing, corporate apartments, corporate rentals or business accommodation. The booking, the contract and the invoice sit with the company, not with the person staying.

For project teams that usually means apartments or houses near the site or the client office, with a kitchen, laundry and Wi-Fi, priced by the week or the month. It is built for working stays, not holidays and not one-night business trips.

We are an independent agency. We do not own the properties. We source them from a vetted network of 3,000+ partners and stand behind the booking, the invoice and the support for the whole stay. Clients have saved 20-30% by using the correct market for the length of stay. See how contractor accommodation works for the detail.

Your options

Four ways to house staff for weeks or months

For a few nights, a hotel is fine. Past a few weeks, how you book matters more than the rate you negotiate.

Who books with us

Corporate accommodation for teams that work away

Construction and infrastructure teams

Site crews and engineers on builds that run for months, with rotations, phased arrivals and headcount that changes before mobilisation.

Long-term project accommodation →

Commissioning and technical specialists

Small teams of engineers sent to a client site for a few weeks, often in towns where the rental market is small and already spoken for.

See live projects →

Industrial services and relocation crews

Mobile teams that move between sites and countries at short notice and need beds close to each new site.

How contractor accommodation works →

Film and TV production

Crews on location with early calls and fixed schedules, where the accommodation has to move when the unit moves.

Production crew accommodation →

Staff on assignment

One person on a six-month placement or a small team at a client office. Same contract, same invoice and same support as a crew of fifty.

Programmes in several countries

One contract across the UK and 27 European markets, instead of a new supplier in every city on the programme.

Process

How a booking runs

1

Send the requirement

Location, team size, dates, budget. A site postcode and a headcount is enough to start.

2

Get tailored options

Typically within 24 hours, sourced from partners in that market rather than pulled off a platform.

3

Confirm once

We handle booking coordination, contracts and staggered check-ins with every property owner.

4

We hold the line

One WhatsApp channel for your crew, one invoice for your finance team, for the length of the stay.

In practice

How this works on real projects

Irish industrial contractor

★★★★★

An Irish industrial contractor mobilising a crew to Limerick, on a project running from early July into August.

The Challenge

Eleven people needed furnished beds in Limerick from early July, held for a project running into August, with the crew housed close enough to the site to travel together. It was peak summer season, when Limerick prices are at their highest, and the market is small with a student-heavy supply base. Almost nothing was bookable at that size and duration through hotels or platforms, and no one was offering eleven beds held at a fixed rate for the length of the project.

The Solution

We sourced direct from local owners rather than platforms: three four-bed houses, close enough to the site for the crew to travel together, held at a fixed rate for the length of the project. Seven days from brief to start date, staggered check-ins coordinated with the owners, one WhatsApp channel during the stay, and one consolidated VAT-compliant invoice on 30-day terms. The stay came in 42 percent under what the same crew would have cost in short-stay inventory.

AIS Vanguard, part of Ainscough Industrial Services, is one of the UK's leading machinery relocation companies, delivering projects across Europe and the United States.

The Challenge

Their accommodation needs were often last-minute and spread across multiple locations, typically requiring upfront card payments, pulling project managers into day-to-day coordination with multiple hosts, and creating language barriers that made issues harder to resolve. Invoicing was fragmented, receipts had to be chased, and there was no leverage on rates or payment terms.

The Solution

Bonjour became their accommodation partner across the UK, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, USA and beyond. We work with individual project teams to source accommodation tailored to the client's preferences, coordinate check-in and check-out directly with workers, and handle any property issues via WhatsApp during the stay. AIS Vanguard now benefits from one point of contact, consolidated VAT-compliant invoicing in their local currency, no upfront card payments and smoother multi-country delivery.

Questions

Frequently asked

What is corporate accommodation?

Furnished housing that a company books for staff working away from home, usually for weeks or months. The company holds the booking and pays the invoice, and the stay is priced by the week or the month rather than by the night.

Is corporate housing the same as corporate apartments or business accommodation?

Mostly, yes. The terms overlap and people use them for the same thing: furnished homes booked by a company for working stays. What matters is the length of the stay, the size of the team and how close it needs to be to the site.

How long can staff stay?

Most bookings run from a few weeks to twelve months, priced by the week or the month. Under a week, a hotel sometimes makes more sense and we will say so. For stays of several months, see long-term project accommodation.

What team sizes do you handle?

One person to 200 plus. Larger teams are usually spread across several properties in the same area, coordinated as one booking with one invoice.

Do you cover the UK?

Yes. We are a UK company, registered in Edinburgh. Recent UK stays include a team of nine in Edinburgh for four months and one person in Prestwick for six months.

How quickly can you send options?

We typically send options within 24 hours of a requirement. Send the location, dates, team size and budget through the quote form.

What is included in the rate?

Every option is furnished and all-inclusive: utilities, Wi-Fi, local taxes and support are in the rate, so the number you approve is the number you pay. See all-inclusive worker housing for the detail.

How does invoicing work?

One consolidated VAT-compliant invoice, in your local currency where we can, with 30-day terms on corporate contracts. No upfront card payments and no individual receipts for your staff to submit.

Do you own the properties?

No. We are an independent agency working from a vetted network of more than 3,000 partners, so our options follow your requirement rather than our own occupancy.
