Executive Apartments and Accommodation in Sydney

A residence that is ready before you land, looked after by one person, and arranged around the work you came to do. Westprecinct executive apartments are exquisitely furnished managed serviced residences in Sydney, for senior professionals on assignment, relocation or a longer project. Each offers the feeling of home rather than a hotel suite, with the space, finish and service an executive stay calls for.

Stays start from three months and can continue by arrangement if plans change. Arrangements are handled through one point of contact, with itemised invoicing for the company.

Executive accommodation in Sydney usually means one of three things: a hotel suite, a standard furnished apartment, or a residence arranged for the length of an assignment, with the feeling of home. Westprecinct offers the third. Each residence is exquisitely furnished and prepared before arrival, with separate living and sleeping space, a kitchen ready to cook in and room to work, and one dedicated contact for the executive and the company.

Companies also call this executive housing or an executive stay; the arrangement is the same. For a CBD address, our Barangaroo residences are a walk from the financial district. For a family, Balmain and Breakfast Point offer more room and a village setting. Stays start from three months and can continue by arrangement if the assignment runs longer than planned.

Executive rentals and residences for longer stays in Sydney

A selection of residences across Barangaroo and Sydney’s harbour and inner-west suburbs, drawn from all four Westprecinct collections. Each is fully furnished and prepared for a stay of three months or longer.

Harbourside and inner-city locations

Executives tend to value a short commute and a calm place to return to. Our residences sit on Sydney’s harbour and the Parramatta River, close to the city.

Included in every executive stay

Every residence is prepared to The Westprecinct Standard and looked after by one dedicated guest experience contact.

For chief executives and their families

Most of our guests are senior executives, and many arrive as the head of a business or a region. A chief executive’s first months in a city are rarely quiet: board meetings, a new team and a family settling at the same time. A Westprecinct residence is arranged before arrival, so the household can move straight in, with a study or desk for work, room for children, and one person to call when something needs attention.

Barangaroo places a chief executive a walk from the financial district. Balmain and Rozelle offer a village setting by the water, a short ferry ride from the city. For families looking at schools, Drummoyne, Breakfast Point and Cabarita offer more space by the Parramatta River.

Time is a luxury

For anyone leading a business, the scarcest thing on an assignment is rarely money. It is time, and the attention to use it well. Harvard research into how chief executives of large companies spend their time found they worked an average of 62.5 hours a week, and did business on 79% of weekend days.

A residence gives some of that time back. One address for the whole stay means no packing between hotels, no new room to learn and no queue at a front desk. Brown University researchers found that sleep is lighter on the first night somewhere new, because part of the brain stays on watch. With one residence for the whole stay, there is only one first night.

The hours outside work go back to rest, family and thinking time, and to the feeling of home.

Discretion and one point of contact

Discretion is fundamental. Managed residences, discreet arrivals, secure buildings and a single point of contact suit senior executives and high-profile guests. Nothing that could identify a guest is shared without their permission.

One person looks after the stay from the first enquiry to the final day, for the executive and for the company arranging it. Invoices are itemised for a cost centre, relocation budget or expense claim.

Relocating with family

Many of our residences are generously proportioned two-bedroom residences, commonly with two bathrooms, suited to a couple or a family. Pets are considered on application. Tell us the household size, and the school or suburb you would like to be near, and we will match the right residence.

Arranging a stay from overseas

Executives arriving from overseas can arrange their residence before they travel and move straight in on arrival. Tell us the arrival date and we work to have the residence ready. We confirm the details of each residence with you before you commit.

Frequently asked questions

What is an executive apartment?

An executive apartment is a fully furnished residence for a senior professional on assignment or relocation, with the space, finish and service an executive stay calls for, and the feeling of home rather than a hotel room. Westprecinct executive apartments are managed serviced residences in Barangaroo and Sydney’s harbour and inner-west suburbs.

Do you offer executive rentals in Sydney?

Westprecinct offers an alternative to an executive rental in Sydney: executive apartments arranged as managed serviced residences, exquisitely furnished and looked after by one point of contact. Stays run from three to twelve months or any length in between, at Barangaroo and across the harbour and inner west.

Is there executive accommodation in the Sydney CBD?

Yes, at Barangaroo, on the CBD’s western harbour edge and in the 2000 postcode, a walk from Wynyard, Barangaroo metro station and the financial district. Stays start from three months.

How does an executive apartment compare with a hotel suite?

A hotel suite suits a short visit. Over three months or more, a residence offers separate living, dining and sleeping space, a kitchen ready to cook in and room to work, with rates designed for longer stays. The guest settles in rather than waiting it out. To compare the value with hotels or serviced apartments for your dates, see Compare the Value.
