Zeitraum, a specialist in student accommodation with a network of private campuses in Prague, is expanding its scope to another segment. Newly, it will focus on serviced accommodation for individuals and corporate clients, offering them hotel-type facilities in modern rooms and apartments in the center of Prague, right next to Wenceslas Square. Under the Zeitraum Apartments brand, the “Franz by Zeitraum” house in Opletalova 41 is currently opening, which will become the first project of the new multinational Zeitraum Apartments brand. It will focus on serviced accommodation in the region of Central and Eastern Europe, while Zeitraum Student Housing will continue to provide housing mainly for students.
“In our metropolis, we have been interested in stylish and fully equipped apartments for short to medium-term accommodation with additional services for a long time. The demand consists mainly of more demanding tourists from abroad, expats, but also large corporations that need to accommodate their employees sent on long-term work stays. Our new product, which is relatively unique on the Czech market, is extremely accommodating in this regard. Clients will be able to come for only a few days, or spend a few months or a year here. The advantage of this concept compared to classic hotels lies primarily in the complete equipment of the apartments, including the kitchen for preparing home-cooked meals. There is also a fundamental difference in price. While you would not pay extra for a long stay in a hotel, we offer a comparable standard at affordable prices, ” said Zdena Noack, Managing Director at Zeitraum, adding. ” Compared to rental apartments, our main benefit is flexibility. Long-term tenants will not have to transfer energy, pay a deposit to the landlord or commit in advance to a specific length of lease. In addition, we approach each applicant individually and try to choose the apartment that best suits their requirements, ” he added.
Wenceslas Square, near which the new Franz by Zeitraum house is located, is the center of social and business events in Prague. The building is named after the famous Czech-Austrian novelist, playwright and poet Franz Werfel, who lived here from 1903 to 1912. There are a total of 53 accommodation units with a capacity for 2 to 4 people. You can choose from smaller rooms reminiscent of the layout of the studio, as well as larger apartments with a separate bedroom.
Airy apartments with high ceilings are designed in neutral tones with interesting accents, which give the whole interior lightness, elegance and at the same time the necessary framework to complete a cozy home in the case of long-term rentals. All rooms are modern, with basic furniture (wardrobes, large enough desk, beds with quality mattresses), underfloor heating, air conditioning, fully equipped kitchen including microwave and dishwasher, bathroom with shower, smart TV with satellite receiver and unlimited Wi-Fi connection. Convenient and safe entry to the apartments or suites is ensured by chip cards.
The reservation of short-term accommodation and long-term rentals takes place through an online reservation system. The service provided includes 24-hour reception services, regular change of bed linen, cleaning and general maintenance of the apartments. Central laundry with high-performance washing machines can be used for washing / cleaning.
Zdena Noack concludes: “The house in Opletalova Street is just the beginning of our extensive expansion. We will soon open a second similar project in Prague 1, and we are planning another in Warsaw and Krakow, where we also operate. Our expectations from the market are high and even the coronary crisis has not changed anything. ”
