SilverDoor is an independent serviced apartment agent headquartered in Chiswick, London, UK, with further offices in Lancaster, Madrid, Singapore, Denver, Dubai and Hyderabad. The company specializes in the provision of serviced apartments worldwide and is used by corporate and private clients for relocation, staff housing programs, business visits, international assignments, city breaks, and conferences.
Operations
SilverDoor represents over 1 million serviced apartments in 124 countries around the globe. The company works with over 2,000 property partners by marketing their serviced apartments on their website, financed by commission.
In October 2010 the company joined the Hotel Booking Agents Association, a trade body that brings together serviced apartment buyers and suppliers to develop and promote best practices.
From 2008, SilverDoor ran a £150 Attendance Bonus scheme, a monthly supplement encouraging employees to be no more than a minute late to work, despite any legitimate public transport constraints. With its workforce composed predominantly of new graduates on minimal salaries, the scheme proved a helpful stipend for those who qualified.
In March 2016, SilverDoor achieved the Association of Serviced Apartment Providers' newly launched Agent Quality Accreditation.
In May 2016, SilverDoor acquired Citybase Apartments.{{Cite web|title=Silverdoor acquires rival Citybase in £2.25m deal|url=https://www.businesstravelnewseurope.com/Management/Silverdoor-acquires-rival-Citybase-in-2-25m-deal|access-date=2021-04-07|website=www.businesstravelnewseurope.com|language=en}}
