Reinventing Extended Stays for International Professionals: How Lodgeur Bridges Hotels and Homes

In the U.S., professional mobility and extended stays are increasingly shaping how companies operate and support their teams. As project-based work, relocations, and long-term assignments become more common, the demand for flexible, high-quality housing has grown. Lodgeur is redefining extended stays by bridging the gap between hotels and long-term rentals, offering a new standard designed for today’s professionals.

The Impossible Question Professionals Keep Getting Asked

“Exactly how long will you need to stay?” If you’ve ever moved countries, started a new assignment, or traveled for medical care, you know the honest answer is usually: “I have no idea.” Relocations slip from “a few weeks of temporary housing” to three months. Project timelines stretch as permits, contracts or approvals drag on. Medical treatment is extended – or, occasionally, cut short. Real life refuses to follow a fixed-term contract. Yet most housing options still assume perfect certainty: – Hotels ask you to enter a check-out date. – Leases ask you to commit to 6 or 12 months. – Corporate housing sells you fixed 30-, 60- or 90-night packages. In all of these models, the guest carries the risk of uncertainty. You either pay for time you don’t need, or you are forced to move at the worst possible moment. Lodgeur was born from a simple question: what would extended stay look like if we designed it around the professional, instead of the property?

When people talk about “digital nomads” they imagine laptops on beaches. But the real nomads of today’s economy are much less visible: – Engineers rotating through project sites – Consultants and auditors embedded with clients – Internationally-mobile executives – Medical travelers and their caregivers – Families relocating across borders – Interns and young professionals on long assignments
