Roomzzz is launching its first London-based development on 1st July. The new £20 million aparthotel is just a six-minute train journey from St Pancras International station.

Responding to the desire for flexible accommodation, Roomzzz London Stratford will feature 98 fully serviced luxury apartments offering room to be yourself. Whether visiting for adventure, business or celebration, the fully equipped kitchens, spacious living areas, comfy king-size beds, super-fast Wi-Fi and an on-site gym, means every Roomzzz stay will feel like a home away from home.

The suites range from the modern open-plan Neo, through to the spacious superior Liberty suite, which comes as one, two or three bedroom, making them ideal for both families, groups and long-stays. The jewel in the crown are the Dezign penthouses, which boast spectacular views of London’s iconic sights from the sweeping rooftop balcony.

The new development will be the first in a new generation of Roomzzz, offering a vibrant area on the ground floor to create a sense of community. There will be a guest lounge offering a range of spaces to relax with a book, catch up on work or eat the complimentary Grab & Go light breakfast, plus a deli, serving exceptional barista coffee, fresh sandwiches and salads.

The aparthotel is also home to a brand-new co-working environment, workinc, which boasts hotdesks, dedicated work spaces, a meeting room and breakout areas, creating a thriving business community.

Roomzzz London Stratford is in the heart of East London’s primary retail, cultural and leisure facilities, including the London Stadium, Westfield Shopping Centre and the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. Situated on West Ham Lane, Roomzzz is within easy reach of both Stratford International Station and Stratford Tube with easy access to the city centre, Canary Wharf, City Airport and the O2. Basement parking with electric charging points is also available for those travelling by car.

Naveen Ahmed, CEO of Roomzzz, commented: “We’re delighted to be launching our first London Roomzzz aparthotel in Stratford, an area booming in terms of regeneration and growth. There are exciting plans for the area over the next five years, and we are proud to be a part of it. Flexibility is key for the Roomzzz brand – our guests choose us as we combine the benefits of a conveniently located apartment with the security and convenience of a 24-hour concierge, it’s the best of city living.”

The Roomzzz brand already has eight aparthotels across the country, including Manchester, Leeds, Chester and Nottingham. The brand has ambitious growth plans with further developments in the pipeline for Edinburgh, Harrogate and York, as well as an extension to the existing Newcastle property.

Roomzzz Aparthotels has been built around the concept that it’s a home away from home for any of their guests. Whether people are travelling as a family, a couple, on their own, or with business, Roomzzz offer the flexibility and space of a city centre apartment but with the comfort and service of a hotel.

It’s in the corporate world though where we’re really challenging concepts, and meeting the changing demands of the working world.

Aparthotels are growing in popularity with the UK aparthotel marketing accounting for 6% of all hotel investment in 2017. With 49% of Airbnb travellers moving away from traditional hotels and operating costs which run at only 40% of total revenue (compared to nearly 60% for full service hotels), this popularity, both for corporate customers and investors, is only set to grow.

For a start, there are no boxy rooms at Roomzzz aparthotels. We appreciate that business travellers want space to relax after a long day at work so that’s why our rooms are more like an apartment and have plenty of room to swing a cat. The locations of Roomzzz Aparthotels are extremely central and have the cities on their doorstep. This means our business guests are in a convenient place for any meetings they may have to attend. We also have a 24-hour concierge service to match that of top-end hotels. This provides the service and security that our guests can rely on day and night. Grab and Go breakfasts mean that you can dine in the morning at the convenience of our business guests. Fresh pastries, yoghurts, and fruit, are available to grab and take out the door – either on the way to a meeting or back up to the room. It’s small things like this that make a huge different to the working world and we’re here to make things easier.

We’re also aware that business guests, whether they’re staying for 1 night or 30, need to be able to continue their lifestyle away from home. That’s why in all our locations we provide fully fitted kitchens so guests can cook up a storm, and a comfortable 2000 pocket sprung mattress so even if the business world isn’t sleeping, our guests are. In our newest locations, Roomzzz Manchester Corn Exchange and Roomzzz London Stratford, we’ve even included gyms so that fitness routines don’t suffer when working on business.

Our free WiFi also allows corporate travellers to stay well connected and there are even meeting areas by Roomzzz Aparthotel receptions so that an important business deal can be closed or you can catch up with a colleague over a coffee.

We know how comfort, convenience and service are important to our business guests, now more than ever, and that’s why we’re here to provide for the changing demands of the working world.
