Our Origins
dluxSuites is a leading provider of both short-term and long-term fully furnished apartments throughout the Midwest United States.
Born from a bold attitude and a 24/7 culture, dluxSuites has disrupted and redefined the hospitality scene in corporate apartments. Our luxury homes, streamlined reservation process, and “concierge-style” client services enable us to provide our guests with an exceptional experience.
Trailblazing our way through the Midwest, it is our goal to defy expectations and break the norms of traditional luxury in each serviced apartment we offer. Our team is ingenious when it comes to mixing in eclectic design and vibrant energy in each of the temporary homes that we provide. We have over 35 years of hospitality, hotel, training, and design experience. We delight in making our customers feel better walking into their temporary homes than when they arrived. Beautiful kitchens, offices, and living areas are important to fuel a guests’ lust for life. We burn with an obsessive desire to soak it in, live it up, and do it again.
dluxSuites is dedicated to promoting equality and giving a megaphone to inspiring voices that deserve to be heard. We are all about breaking boundaries, living out loud, and embracing life.
