All relative. 1bd apartment for 1100 is far less then anything in California.
I wonder if the hotel is part of a pandemic response plan. Like, if people have to quarantine and social distance, they can now keep 192 critical employees at their campus, sheltering in place...at their job site.
That's business travel. You get what you need to do over and done with so you can go back home to your own bed and family.
Isn’t the word because when you go up stairs there’s stories you could read on the wall?
One company is rich because they own a hotel, another company builds a hotel just to serve one of their campuses. Rich is relative.
A nice middle ground would be an Apple owned Hotel off site that operates just like a normal hotel but with 0 cost for Apple employees, but then the distance would be an issue as the closer you are to the work place the better to get the job done.

July 2020 Update:
Apple is adding a 192-room hotel to the campus that it is developing in Austin, Texas, according to revised construction plans shared by Culturemap.
The hotel will span 75,500 feet and will have six stories, but there's no information on branding. The updated plans were approved in late April, with the hotel as a new addition. The original plans, filed in December 2018, did not include a hotel.
None of Apple's other campuses have hotels on site, but the addition of a hotel will give employees traveling to the Austin campus for training and other purposes a place to stay.
The $1 billion Austin campus will span three million square feet, with two million square feet dedicated to office space. Apple started construction on the campus in November 2019, and is set to finish it up in 2022.
When the campus opens, it will have space for 5,000 employees, but eventually, it will be able to accommodate 15,000 employees.
