BridgeStreet received a Business Travel Award for one of its Six Ways to Stay™ verticals, serviced apartments. Six Ways to Stay is BridgeStreet's innovative product line that enables corporate travel managers, clients and business travelers to book professionally-operated extended stay accommodations under one platform on bridgestreet.com. BridgeStreet has become a leader in the category, steadily improving the 7+ night industry for business travel.
The Business Travel Awards recognize the best in business travel excellence and innovation each year. The publication reports that this year they saw a record number of entries across 22 categories. The judges from the travel management community have quoted that "BridgeStreet had upped its game as a global provider, and is offering an excellent, segmented product for the business traveler." The company kindly thanks their clients, guests, global supply partners and teammates for all of the hard work in 2018 that made this honor possible.
This is yet another achievement in the global business travel industry that BridgeStreet has earned in the past year, and signals the company's continuing ascent to a worldwide leadership role as a platform of multiple accommodation options for global business travelers. In addition to extended stay serviced apartments, BridgeStreet also has an extensive portfolio of professionally operated extended stay hotels, hotels, furnished homes, design-led hostels and urban/resort vacation rentals.

"We work relentlessly to make business travel better and it is a true reward for us to be recognized by our colleagues, friends and competitors," he added.
