Direct peers

• Locke (Lifestyle Property): UK and European design-led aparthotel brand offering studio to two-bedroom apartments with kitchens, tech-enabled check-in and on-site amenities. Highly comparable on apartment-style product, mobile/digital check-in model and urban UK city presence.

• SACO (The Serviced Apartment Company): Long-established UK-focused serviced apartment and aparthotel operator with multi-city footprint and corporate travel programmes. Directly comparable on product type (studio–3BR serviced apartments), target customer (corporate and extended stay) and B2B distribution model.

Others
