US: Serviced apartment booking platform Urbandoor will provide extended-stay and relocation lodging options for clients of travel management company ATG.
ATG is the first travel management company to team with the two-year-old San Francisco-based startup. The content will become available to ATG clients in June.
ATG vendors program manager Gregory Huffman said the company is “thrilled to partner with Urbandoor”. “Our business travellers want a variety of accommodation options.”
Urbandoor is a tech platform that provides solutions to apartment operators and also enables corporate customers to book apartments online. CEO Erik Eccles said: “We saw there was a supply base out there, which is huge but just incredibly inefficient, which is serviced apartments. There, you can get that institutional quality, that predictability of a hotel but have something in the neighbourhood where you want it. You can actually have a managed experience and know there’s absolute compliance on the duty of care piece and the employees are getting what they want.”</p
