BridgeStreet is now aligning with the hospitality giant to expand their newly unveiled Airbnb for Business product suite offerings to BridgeStreet’s well-established client base.
“Long term travelers want more than just access to a place to lay their head, they want to get to know their city, neighborhood bookshop, best place for coffee, live like a local, whether that means staying in a Victorian home in San Francisco or a loft in Paris,” said Chip Conley, Head of Hospitality, Airbnb. “BridgeStreet is an incredible company to work with to help give any person from any company a truly unique experience when they are traveling for business. “
