UK: Quay Apartments, which operates 14 units in Clarence House in Newport, has been named Best Serviced Apartment in South Wales and Cardiff for 2020 in the Prestige Hotel Awards.
The company has been open in the city since late 2018.
When the aparthotel opened, owner Ali Tariq said: “Newport has a lot to offer already, but also much a lot more to develop and as we saw the rise of Salford Quays and Manchester, we hope to see the same for Newport. The name Quay Apartments came from the first ever site, Salford Quays, which was a lot like Newport but on a small scale. Like we saw an opportunity in Salford Quays, we also see a bigger opportunity in Newport.”
The apartments include studios, one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments with wifi, a fully-fitted kitchenette, king, double or twin beds, a 43 inch flat screen 4D wall-mounted TV, a dining area and sofas.
Quay Apartments has the option to get 14 more apartments on the floor above its present ones in the building after Newport City Council loaned Clarence House’s owners £750,000 for a project to convert two upper floors into apart-hotel accommodation and make improvements to the building
Quay Apartments also operate 15 apartments in Manchester, 20 at Salford Quays (Media City) and another 23 in Leeds city centre.
Tariq said: “We are over the moon to win this award. We are very happy with the staff that have worked extremely hard through these times and ensured the safety of our guests.”
The Quay Apartments Team also has plans to expand its serviced apartment portfolio through out UK.
