History

The CorporateStays.com Story

CorporateStays.com was founded in 2008 by Vladimir de Suarez. The business grew organically after de Suarez first privately sublet his Montreal apartment while visiting Spain, and had great interest from extended-stay corporate travelers.

A basic website for his apartment alone grew as new partnerships and referrals increased his collection of private properties to rent. Always concerned with offering only top-quality furnished rentals, de Suarez began working directly with builders, purchasing and furnishing those properties in a style customized specifically for corporate guests.

The year 2010 was one filled with continued innovation and evolution in the services offered to CorporateStays.com guests, including many service-oriented mobile apps. Office openings in Toronto and Ottawa capped off a successful year. Locations in Costa Rica, Panama and Miami soon followed, extending the CorporateStays.com brand to popular hot-weather business destinations.

As of late 2011, CorporateStays.com employs a staff of 50 individuals dedicated to offering something new in corporate housing. Known for its modern, friendly approach to private corporate apartments, the company promises even more good things and continued growth to come in future years.

The Team

CorporateStays.com in the Community

CorporateStays.com is committed to giving back to the communities in which it works. Currently, we are involved with the Montreal branches of two large, worldwide not-for-profit organizations.

With each apartment upgrade and/or redesign CorporateStays.com donates its gently used, high-quality furniture to The Salvation Army for resale in its stores.

The company also participates as a team in low-income building projects through Habitat for Humanity.

Always remaining creative and innovative in both in our business model and in the services we offer guests.

Why Corporate Housing?

When work requires an extended stay in a city that’s not your own, it’s important to have a headquarters that is both convenient and comfortable.

Ticking these boxes and more, luxury corporate housing is the ideal way to seamlessly integrate newly-transferred employees, offering a home-away-from-home, plus all the services of a hotel at their fingertips.

Corporate housing is private and personal, with more space and flexibility than hotels. The private apartments can be custom outfitted with nearly anything the guest requires, from their favorite coffee machine to special linens.

And an attentive but discrete concierge service – nowhere to be seen but always there – takes private housing to the next level of luxury. Anything that guests need can be arranged at any hour with a phone call, email, tweet, or tap to their mobile app. Corporate housing specialists are very familiar with the destinations they represent, providing in-the-know recommendations on places to eat, what lounge to visit in the evening, what shows to see. We’ve also thought about all the mundane but important details that are unique in every city, so you don’t have to.

Corporate housing offers the bonus of a resident expert and guide in whatever city you land, so you’re never on your own.

Satisfaction Guaranteed

If you’re not satisfied with the CorporateStays.com apartment you’ve chosen, for whatever reason, after your first night we’ll refund the cost of the rental for that night’s stay — no questions asked.

At CorporateStays.com, our first priority is finding the right apartment for each and every corporate traveller, and we’ll do our best to accommodate on-site property changes, wherever possible.
