UK: Locke, Eden’s lifestyle aparthotel brand, has announced its European openings, with properties in Germany, Ireland, Denmark and Portugal.
As part of its expansion, Locke will also open three further properties in London and one in Cambridge.
“I am excited and humbled to see that Locke is expanding throughout Europe over the coming months. It feels like our alternative to the traditional hotel has never been more relevant. Each Locke has carefully designed to reflect the city’s unique neighbourhood, providing our travellers with an opportunity of experiencing local living – whether they are travelling for business or leisure, for one night or one month,” said Eric Jafari, chief development officer and creative director at edyn.
Each aparthotel includes flexible co-working spaces, F&B outlets, yoga studio, rooftop cocktail bar, a locally-inspired cultural programme and a team of ‘House Hosts’ to advise guests.
“We are delighted to share the news of our expansion into many new and exciting locations. This pivotal moment in our expansion comes at a transformational time for the travel industry at large, and we look forward to contributing to that evolving narrative. Locke challenges the status quo that distinguishes hotel from home, and we are pleased to be taking our original hybrid concept to new and wider audiences across Europe,” said Stephen McCall, CEO of edyn.
The announcement of Locke’s international expansion comes as its existing portfolio prepares to re-open to the general public on 4th July, following the lifting of UK lockdown restrictions.
