Furnished apartments and houses for staff working away from home for weeks or months. Booked by your company, on one contract and one consolidated invoice, in the UK and across 27 European markets.
The short version
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
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
Site crews and engineers on builds that run for months, with rotations, phased arrivals and headcount that changes before mobilisation.
Long-term project accommodation →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 →Mobile teams that move between sites and countries at short notice and need beds close to each new site.
How contractor accommodation works →Crews on location with early calls and fixed schedules, where the accommodation has to move when the unit moves.
Production crew accommodation →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.
One contract across the UK and 27 European markets, instead of a new supplier in every city on the programme.
All-inclusive worker housing →Coverage
Capital cities are easy. What clients actually keep a partner for is Koblenz, Groningen, Hillerød, Kežmarok, Varese and Prestwick.
These are the projects we publish. Coverage runs to 27 markets, plus project work in the United States.
All locationsProcess
Location, team size, dates, budget. A site postcode and a headcount is enough to start.
Typically within 24 hours, sourced from partners in that market rather than pulled off a platform.
We handle booking coordination, contracts and staggered check-ins with every property owner.
One WhatsApp channel for your crew, one invoice for your finance team, for the length of the stay.
In practice
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
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.
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.
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.
One person to 200 plus. Larger teams are usually spread across several properties in the same area, coordinated as one booking with one invoice.
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.
We typically send options within 24 hours of a requirement. Send the location, dates, team size and budget through the quote form.
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.
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.
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.
