US: Apartment-style hotel brand, stayAPT Suites, has announced it is to roll out a four storey prototype in California and Carolina.
The company also announced it would expand its footprint to 22 states across the US as it cemented several franchise partnerships in California, Arizona and Missouri.
The partnerships are in the following markets: Atlanta-Lithia Springs, GA, St Louis-Bridgeton, MO, Phoenix-Peoria, AZ, Riverside-Palmdale/Lancaster, CA.
These new franchises, combined with the existing corporate and franchise pipeline of open, under construction, and pre-development projects, expands stayAPT Suites’ reach to more than 75 locations across 22 US states from North Carolina to California.
stayAPT Suites, which opened its first two locations in October 2020, is further accelerating momentum by adding a new four-storey prototype to its flexible two and three-storey models.
The 103-unit four-storey prototype will be first introduced at corporate and franchise markets in North Carolina and California.
Gary DeLapp, stayAPT Suites’ president and CEO said: “It’s a thrill to partner with our franchisees on the roll-out of this new four-storey prototype, and expand our geographic footprint in the process, including our first hotel in California. These new deals signal continued confidence from a growing number of our partners who recognize the unique value stayAPT Suites brings to the long-term lodging segment. We are looking forward to working with them as we take this brand Coast to Coast.”
Each stayAPT Suites room includes an open-concept living room with a sleeper sofa, lounge chair, and a wall-mounted smart TV. The kitchen features a full-size stove, oven, dishwasher, microwave, and refrigerator. The bedroom, located down the hall from the living area, offers a king or two queen-sized beds, a walk-in wardrobe, a spacious desk, and another wall-mounted smart TV.
The hotel’s optional, mobile app allows guests to bypass front desk interaction with contactless check-in and digital-key room access.
stayAPT Suites entered the long-term lodging market with an announcement of its new hotel concept in January 2020. The new brand will have approximately 30 hotels open by the end of 2023, with an additional 40+ in development. The hotel brand recently opened its second property in Texas.
