Germany: Staycity Group is opening its second Wilde property today, in Berlin.
Wilde Aparthotels by Staycity, Berlin, Checkpoint Charlie is Staycity’s first property in Germany. The 48-key development is part of a new scheme occupying what was the best-known crossing point of the Berlin Wall, which divided East and West Berlin during the Cold War.
A third Wilde property will open next month in Edinburgh.
“One of the key prerequisites for Wilde is that they’re central to the heart of the city. Both the Berlin and Edinburgh properties are in stunning locations with the best each city has to offer on their doorstep. It’s exciting to see the Wilde brand taking shape as we add to the estate,” said Staycity Group CEO and co-founder Tom Walsh.
Edinburgh, Grassmarket will offer 128 studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments as well as a gym, guest lounge and Staycafé. The development forms part of a wider mixed-use scheme comprising residential and commercial units and student accommodation.
The apartments in both properties feature XL-sized beds with Hypnos mattresses, a Grohe rainfall shower and high quality bed linen. All have a well-equipped kitchen with Nespresso machine.
The properties also offer guest laundry facilities, a lounge area, 24-hour reception and the option of self check-in.
The two openings come in a year of rapid expansion for Staycity, which has seen new outlets in Paris and Venice as well as announcements of site acquisitions in Dublin, Berlin, London, Frankfurt and York amounting to 500 apartments in major UK cities and 850 apartments in Germany.
