Switzerland: Stay Kooook has submitted plans for an 84-key extended stay property on the Rue de la Servette in Geneva.
The brand’s first property in Bern Wankdorf opened in September 2020, and has reported good occupancy despite the pandemic.
“The corona pandemic has given the extended stay segment even more impetus. Travelers are now more than ever looking for a safe retreat. We also see a trend towards longer business trips. Shorter trips are becoming rarer, because video conferencing has arrived in every company with the pandemic,” said Volker Thamm, director business development at SV Hotel. “That’s why investors also see great potential in our concept.”
The Geneva building was designed by local architects Frei Stefani. Each Stay KooooK will feature a communal ‘living room’. In Geneva, this will be on the 9th floor on Rue de la Servette, surrounded by a panoramic terrace with views to Lake Geneva and the Mont Blanc massif.
The property will have its own parking spaces, and a tram station outside the front door.
Studios are equipped with a kitchenette and washing machine makes, and sliding walls to adapt the space.
The Stay KooooK portfolio consists of:
Bern Wankdorf: Open since September 2020
Nuremberg City and Bern City: Under construction, opening planned for 2022
Leipzig City: Under construction, opening planned for 2023
Hamburg City: In planning, opening planned for 2024/2025
Geneva City: In planning, opening planned for 2023
