Australia: Flexible accommodation operator Urban Rest has introduced Urban Rest Homes, extending its product offering to include a collection of standalone, self-catering properties.
Urban Rest Homes will launch in Sydney with The Cooper Street Home, a renovated private townhouse in the centre of Double Bay. Additional locations in Australia include New South Wales and Victoria, Melbourne.
The Urban Rest team are seeking partner property owners to include their assets within the collection. Expansion plans include target markets such as the UK and Ireland.
David Whelan, founder and CEO of Urban Rest, said: “Urban Rest Homes exemplify our commitment to continuous innovation and an unwavering dedication to enhancing the guest experience. Building on the home-like environment we’ve successfully offered our guests in apartments for years, we’re proud to extend that warm and welcoming experience to our new collection of free-standing homes. This ensures that travellers have a unique space to live, work, and relax during extended stays.
“The flexibility inherent in Urban Rest Homes provides a comfortable and convenient option for our guests. Whether one is relocating with family or engaged in an extended business project, our homes offer a level of comfort and convenience that goes beyond traditional accommodations. It was a natural extension to create a product that could cater to groups requiring more space than in a typical apartment, but with the same levels of quality that our clients expect from the Urban Rest brand,” he added.
The launch comes as Urban Rest prepares to open properties in North Sydney and Parramatta in Q1 2024, alongside its expansion into the New Zealand market.
