“Our new brand identity communicates that, and as the company faces a new dawn, we do so with confidence, and plans for growth in new markets, globally.

“Post-lockdown we have found ourselves in a very different trading environment.

“However, amidst the challenges also lies brilliant opportunities. The world travel market is reinventing itself and the hospitality market is going through a transformation.

“There is still a very strong desire to travel for both work and leisure, and we can facilitate that with a luxury-high-end, affordable accommodation offering in prime locations in cities across the world.

“We have keyless check-ins, partnered with other hospitality offerings in each city for excellent deals in eateries and tourism outlets as well as offering luxury, high-end accommodation in a safe, home-from-home environment.”

“We believe the staycation, family, leisure market is the future. The corporate market and our ability to provide accommodation in prime locations in cities across the world, close to the central business districts, airports, main arterial routes and city centres has allowed us to continue to grow quickly.”
