Frequently asked
Common questions
Are penthouse rentals better value than a luxury hotel suite?
For 2–3 nights and 4+ people, usually yes — you get more space, a full kitchen and a private terrace for the price of a small suite.
Do penthouses come with building amenities?
Often — pool, gym and concierge access come with many building penthouses. It's listed on the property page; confirm what's included.
Is parking included?
Downtown penthouses sometimes include a parking space, sometimes not. If you're driving, check before booking — city parking is otherwise pricey.
How high up are they really?
A true penthouse is the top floor or two; some listings use the term loosely. Check the floor number and view photos in the listing.
