visiting VIP accommodation


Explanation:
Can't find an exact phrase which covers it - guest accommodation isn't exclusive enough, and guest house is obviously out of the running.
What I'm not q clear about is whether this is a house which is used exclusively for this purpose, or whether it is rented temporarily for this purpose....

Ah, CloHoHoe has asked a similar question to mine.

Perhaps, in the light of Indiana's comments, we might add "Dedicated" to indicate that the accommodation is not used for anything else.
