Network Partnerships Fuel Growth

Urban Stay has been expanding rapidly throughout the past year.  As we grow our own portfolio of London serviced apartments we’re always interested in working with partners who provide a similar high standard of service and property, in locations that are a bit too out of reach for us in central London.  As such we have recently partnered with the industry’s leading provider of high-end serviced apartments in the Greater London area.  They have serviced apartments available in the major cities surrounding London and are a great alternative to a more central stay.  We have now begun to advertise over 350 individual apartments operated by this company in areas that will be of interest to our corporate and leisure travellers alike.  All of the apartments come fully furnished and are all centrally located within their respective cities.  Perfect for a short or long stay, and a perfect addition to our growing portfolio of serviced apartments, our new locations will provide our clients with even more choice while maintaining our renowned level of quality throughout our entire brand offering.

Below is a list of our newest locations along with a brief overview of their key features and most attractive qualities.  We hope that you can stay with us soon!

2015…

As we continue to grow and maintain our serviced apartment operations in the heart of London, 2015 will mark our official push into network partnerships fuelling our growth in outside areas and markets further afield from our origins.  It’s important that we are always able to offer our clients and guests the best possible service and as we provide high quality serviced apartments for larger companies we must meet their demand wherever it may be.  As you can see by reading the above we’ve come quite far already and have already begun our expansion in the South East.  This year will mark our first foray into these markets and provide our strongest foothold yet for even greater expansion in years to come.
