THE NETHERLANDS: Aparthotel operator Staycity Group has announced its latest Wilde Aparthotel property will be in Amsterdam-Noord.
The 120-apartment Wilde will be part of the 31-storey residential and business Yvie complex, currently under construction by Union Investment.
The property is in the district of Overhoeks in the borough of Amsterdam-Noord, a five-minute walk to a ferry crossing the IJ river, with onward travel from nearby Central Station.
The construction of the residential and business Overhoeks district, a former site of oil giant Shell, began in 2005 and will continue until 2026 with a strong focus on sustainability as well as providing leisure facilities and cultural attractions.
Staycity Group CEO and co-founder Tom Walsh said: “Amsterdam is the perfect addition to our Wilde portfolio, particularly this spectacular building in such a vibrant, up-and-coming modern area. Staycity now has nearly 6,000 apartments across 32 properties with our growth plans soon to take in Portugal as well as additional sites in London, Paris, and Munich, so we’re delighted to be adding the Netherlands to our portfolio.”
Markus Beike, Staycity’s development director Germany and CEE, said: “We are very excited to be partnering with Union Investment on this landmark property in one of Europe’s most popular cities. Wilde offers something a little bit different, appealing to both business and leisure travellers looking for great quality, contemporary self-catering apartments that stand out from the crowd – the perfect fit for this sophisticated location.”
Due to open in May 2024, the Wilde Aparthotel will offer long-stays – from seven days to 12 months – and features a coffee shop, gym and roof terrace.
Apartments feature touch control panels for lighting, air conditioning, towel rails and blinds, XL-sized beds, Grohe rainfall showers and high quality bed linen complemented by a collection of Irish-inspired accessories and soft furnishings. The fully equipped kitchens feature high-end appliances such as Nespresso and Smeg.
Wilde Aparthotels by Staycity is the group’s premium brand, launched in 2018 and inspired by Irish playwright and poet Oscar Wilde.
Staycity recently opened its largest property in Europe with its Dublin City Centre property.
