1008: Why Apartment-Style Living Is Reshaping Extended Stay in Hotels

Extended stay isn’t just about length of stay anymore—it’s about how guests want to live while they’re on the road.

In this episode of No Vacancy, Glenn Haussman speaks with Kate Thompson, Director of Commercial at Sage Hospitality Group, about The Ann Savannah, an apartment-style hospitality concept designed for independence, flexibility, and longer stays.

Kate explains how The Ann blends apartment living with hotel service, from fully equipped kitchens and multi-bedroom layouts to a host-driven service model and weekly housekeeping. The conversation also explores how the property attracts business travelers, groups, weekend guests, and long-stay visitors—often at the same time.

Topics include:

• Why apartment-style hospitality is gaining traction

• How guests balance privacy with service

• Rethinking housekeeping and daily intrusion

• Staffing differently in extended-stay environments

• The role of brand trust in trying new lodging concepts

• How this model fits into the future of hospitality
