The basics

What corporate housing is

What is corporate housing?

Corporate housing is a fully furnished apartment or home rented for 30 or more nights and billed on a single monthly invoice with utilities, Wi-Fi, and cleaning included. It is a turnkey alternative to a hotel or an empty lease for relocations, project teams, and extended business travel — move-in ready, with a full kitchen and in-unit laundry, and no setup of furniture or accounts.

How is corporate housing different from a hotel or a regular apartment lease?

Corporate housing combines the furnished, all-inclusive convenience of a hotel with the space and cost structure of an apartment. Unlike a hotel, it has separate private bedrooms, a full kitchen, and in-unit laundry, and bills one monthly figure instead of a nightly folio. Unlike a standard lease, it arrives fully furnished with utilities and Wi-Fi set up, on a 30-plus-night term rather than a 12-month commitment.

What is the minimum stay for corporate housing?

The minimum stay for corporate housing at Chateau Hospitality is 30 nights. The corporate-housing program is built for 30-plus-night placements — relocations, assignments, training rotations, and project work — rather than vacation or weekend stays. There is no fixed maximum; stays commonly run a month, a quarter, or longer, and extensions are arranged directly with the operator.

What is included in a Chateau Hospitality furnished home?

Every Chateau Hospitality home is fully furnished and includes a full kitchen, in-unit laundry, high-speed Wi-Fi, and utilities — all bundled into one monthly rate alongside cleaning. The homes are move-in ready: furniture, kitchenware, linens, and connected utilities are already in place, so a traveler arrives with bags and starts living and working the same day.

How many people can stay in a Chateau Hospitality home?

Chateau Hospitality measures capacity by private bedrooms — one head per bedroom — rather than by crammed maximum occupancy. A two-bedroom home comfortably fits a family or team of three to four, and a three-bedroom fits five to six, with each person having a real private bedroom. This is corporate housing built for people living and working in the space for weeks at a time, not a packed short-term rental.

Who uses corporate housing?

Corporate housing is used by relocating employees, project and consulting teams, government and defense travelers, travel nurses, and military families on PCS orders — anyone who needs a furnished home for 30 or more nights. Chateau Hospitality serves these corporate and institutional travelers specifically; we are a business-to-business furnished-housing operation, not a vacation rental.

Near the Pentagon & per-diem

Location, Metro distance, and GSA per-diem

Where is Chateau Hospitality corporate housing located near the Pentagon?

Chateau Hospitality operates furnished corporate homes in the National Landing area of Arlington, Virginia, in and around Crystal City and Pentagon City. The homes are two Metro stops from the Pentagon on the Blue and Yellow lines, about five minutes from Reagan National Airport (DCA), and walkable to the Amazon HQ2 employer cluster.

How far is Chateau Hospitality from the Pentagon and Reagan National Airport?

Our homes are two Metro stops from the Pentagon on the Blue and Yellow lines and roughly five minutes from Reagan National Airport (DCA). They sit within National Landing in Arlington, Virginia, walkable to the Amazon HQ2 campus, which makes them a practical base for Pentagon, federal, defense, and Amazon-area assignments.

Does Chateau Hospitality corporate housing qualify for GSA per-diem?

Yes. Arlington, Crystal City, and Pentagon City fall under the GSA Washington, D.C. per-diem locality, and our monthly rate is structured to sit within the federal lodging cap. Because the D.C. cap changes month to month, we confirm the exact figure for your specific travel dates in writing rather than making a blanket "under per-diem" claim.

How does federal per-diem reimbursement work for a furnished apartment?

Federal per diem reimburses your actual lodging cost up to the locality cap — it is not a flat allowance or a spread the traveler keeps. A furnished apartment priced below the D.C. cap is reimbursed at its lower actual cost. Chateau Hospitality structures its monthly rate to fit within that cap and confirms in writing where a stay lands against the figure for your travel dates.

Is Arlington a separate per-diem locality from Washington, D.C.?

No. Arlington, Crystal City, and Pentagon City are covered by the GSA Washington, D.C. per-diem locality, not a separate Virginia rate — a common point of confusion for federal travelers. We confirm the exact month-correct D.C. lodging cap for your travel dates in your written proposal.

Billing & terms

How billing, proposals, and terms work

How does billing work with Chateau Hospitality corporate housing?

Chateau Hospitality bills on one monthly invoice per agreement, with utilities, Wi-Fi, and cleaning included in the rate, so finance reconciles a single vendor and a single line rather than a stack of nightly folios. We can direct-bill the company, accept a purchase order, or take a company card, and the payment terms and billing contact are set in the written proposal before anything is committed.

Can Chateau Hospitality invoice our company or agency directly?

Yes. Chateau Hospitality direct-bills companies and agencies on a single monthly invoice and can work from a purchase order or company card. The invoice cadence, payment terms, and billing contact are confirmed in the written proposal up front, and we complete vendor-onboarding paperwork such as a W-9 on request.

How fast can Chateau Hospitality send a proposal or quote?

Chateau Hospitality sends a written proposal within 24 hours of a quote request. The proposal states the matched home or homes, the all-inclusive monthly figure, the single-invoice billing structure, and the terms — so the document forwarded to a manager or contracting officer is the agreement, not a sales pitch. Submitting a request queues this proposal; it does not book or charge anything.

Is Chateau Hospitality a licensed and insured business, and can it provide a certificate of insurance?

Yes. Chateau Hospitality is a business-licensed and insured corporate-housing company based in Arlington, Virginia, and a certificate of insurance (COI) is available on request. We can name your company or agency as certificate holder where a placement requires it, with the coverages listed on the certificate itself.

Who is the point of contact during a Chateau Hospitality stay?

Chateau Hospitality is owner-operated, so the same person who scopes the placement and builds the proposal is the one who answers for the life of the stay — for extensions, date changes, and anything in the home. There is no call center and no handoff to a property manager; a corporate client deals with one accountable contact who can authorize a decision directly.

How it compares

Corporate housing vs. hotels, rentals, and national brands

Corporate housing vs. an extended-stay hotel: which is better for a long stay?

For stays of 30 nights or more, corporate housing typically offers more space and a lower effective cost than an extended-stay hotel, because it bills one monthly figure instead of a nightly rate that fights the per-diem cap. A Chateau Hospitality home adds separate private bedrooms, a full kitchen, and in-unit laundry — room to live and work over weeks, rather than a single room with a kitchenette.

Corporate housing vs. Airbnb for a 30-plus-night work stay: what is the difference?

Corporate housing is a business-to-business furnished-housing service with one monthly invoice, included utilities and cleaning, and an accountable operator — built specifically for 30-plus-night work stays. A short-term rental platform is consumer-oriented, can carry nightly pricing and platform service fees, and is not structured for direct company billing, COIs, or per-diem documentation. Chateau Hospitality provides the proposal, single invoice, and insurance paperwork a corporate or government placement needs.

How does Chateau Hospitality compare to national corporate-housing brands?

Chateau Hospitality is an owner-operated corporate-housing company, so a client deals directly with the person accountable for the home rather than a national network’s call center or sub-managed inventory. The trade-off is honest: we run a focused portfolio of furnished homes in one Arlington submarket near the Pentagon, and tells you plainly what it can place for your dates rather than overpromising on inventory it does not hold.

Why book Chateau Hospitality corporate housing directly instead of through a travel platform?

Booking Chateau Hospitality directly gives a corporate client a single monthly invoice, a written proposal, a named owner-operator contact, and the COI and billing paperwork a placement requires — and avoids the third-party service fee added on a travel platform. Chateau Hospitality quotes the all-inclusive monthly figure in a proposal and confirms it in writing before anything is committed.
