Guide
Hotel, apartment or house for project teams?
Hotels often suit short stays and individuals. Apartments usually work well for longer assignments and smaller groups. Houses can suit groups who want to live together with shared spaces. The best choice depends on project length, group size and location.

When a hotel usually fits
A hotel can be a good choice for short stays, uncertain dates or when individuals need housing at short notice. Many hotel rooms have no kitchen, however, which can be noticeable over longer periods.
When an apartment usually fits
Furnished apartments often work well for assignments lasting weeks or months. A private kitchen and more space make everyday life easier, and several apartments can be combined for a larger group. Cleaning and a reception are not always included, though.
When a house usually fits
A house can suit a group that works together and is happy to share a kitchen and living room. Houses are sometimes further from town centres, which can be an advantage near worksites outside built-up areas.
You can combine them
Larger projects often use several housing types at once. In the solar park case study, apartments, houses and an entire hotel were combined during the same period.
