Over the past few months, we've seen a noticeable increase in enquiries from guests looking for temporary accommodation in Harpenden, Ware, Luton and other locations in our area. Whether it's for a work project, relocation, insurance stay or airport travel, demand for high-quality serviced accommodation across Hertfordshire continues to grow.

Why Are More People Looking for Accommodation in These Areas?
There are several reasons why demand has increased across this part of Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire.
Luton: A Growing Business and Aviation Hub
Luton continues to attract business travellers thanks to the ongoing growth of London Luton Airport, one of the UK's busiest airports. Expansion plans, significant investment in airport infrastructure, and major commercial developments are creating thousands of new jobs across aviation, engineering, logistics and hospitality.
The town is also home to major employers including:
-
London Luton Airport
-
GKN Aerospace
-
AstraZeneca
-
Menzies Aviation
-
Bedfordshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust
-
Numerous logistics and recruitment businesses supporting the airport economy.
For guests flying from Luton Airport or working in the area, our apartments in St Albans provide an ideal base, typically around 20-25 minutes away by car, while offering a quieter and more relaxing environment after a busy day.
Harpenden: Popular with Professionals and Contractors
Harpenden remains one of Hertfordshire's most desirable commuter towns, attracting professionals working across London and the surrounding counties.
The town is home to the internationally renowned Rothamsted Research campus and is close to several pharmaceutical, engineering and technology businesses throughout Hertfordshire. The area has also experienced continued residential growth, increasing demand for flexible accommodation for contractors, consultants and relocating families.

Ware: Home to One of Hertfordshire's Largest Employers
Ware is best known as the location of GSK's major manufacturing and research campus, employing thousands of people across pharmaceutical manufacturing, research and engineering.
