UK: Quest Apartment Hotels will open its first UK property in Liverpool, July or August 2019.
The £10 million Quest Liverpool City Centre will feature a 100-bedroom aparthotel located adjacent to the Liverpool One complex at 72 Church Street, in a former office block. It will be the group’s first property outside of Australasia and will also feature a conference room and gym.
By 2023, Quest aims to open eight to 10 aparthotels in the UK and is looking at Birmingham, Bristol, Leeds, Manchester, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Belfast and commercial areas of London within the M25. The group’s UK team is headed by director of UK development Andrew Weisz.
Quest founder and chairman Paul Constantinou said: “For decades, we have honed the brand and the franchise business model to appeal to Australasian business travellers. Today marks the beginning of an expansion of the business across international markets outside Australasia.”
