Convenience of your own apartment

Being safe and sound is everyone’s no.1 priority right now, which is why our apartments combine the safety, freedom and flexibility of a private apartment with the comfort and convenience of a boutique hotel. No interruptions. No need to venture out. And best of all, everything comes to you. Our spacious apartments come with fully equipped kitchens and living spaces for you to make yourself at home. To stay compliant with government guidelines, our team may ask for evidence of your stay on check-in, so remember to bring proof of your hospital appointment or business meeting (for example) in case you’re asked.

Home-from-home comforts

We like to think of our apartments as your own little sanctuary, where you can do just about anything – relax, cook or order in, especially after a hard day. Don’t forget that you also get those little extra hotel-like services such as toiletries, fresh towels, weekly cleaning services and you’ll always have a 24-hour emergency support number.

As you’ve probably realised, we aren’t taking any chances and we have a wide range of processes in place to keep our guests and staff safe. Visit our Staying Safe hub for the latest information on our safety procedures.

An update from Native about the Coronavirus (COVID-19)

But it’s not just your safety that matters to us.

We know these are rather unique times and government advice on re-opening may change, which is why we will FULLY refund any booking made should the re-opening advice and date change.

That’s our promise to you.

A COVID-19 response from Guy, Native’s CEO

There have been some key developments in the last few days from the UK Government, which has had a dramatic effect on the hospitality industry.

We’ve been thinking very carefully about our next steps.

Our response is this…

The safety of our guests and staff will always be our primary concern, so sadly our aparthotels across London, Manchester and Glasgow will be closing during this lockdown period.

However where possible, we are accommodating critical workers that still need to travel, as well as working with our local NHS Trusts in providing accommodation to the brave frontline NHS professionals that desperately need a place to rest between extended shifts.

Most importantly, none of the incredible hospitality employees that work across our buildings will have their contracts terminated, albeit many will need to go slow as we wait for the pandemic to pass. As part of the hospitality community, we know we will get through this together.

You can be sure of a very warm welcome whenever you feel ready to visit or stay with us again.

Please take care of yourselves, and each other.

Guy Nixon
Founder & CEO

Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG)

Our main priority is the sustainability and environmental longevity of each building. That’s why we’re working towards BREEAM accreditation for all of our aparthotels. BREEAM is the world’s leading sustainability assessment method for buildings and certifies them after assessing their environmental, social and economic sustainability performance. Our Bankside property already has an ‘Excellent’ rating and is the only aparthotel in the UK to have a BREEAM rating. We’re working towards the same for our others.

As a company, we’re always evolving, and our properties evolve with us. When we refurbish a building, anything we can’t repurpose is donated to Chunky Monkey, to be recycled into new furniture. Energy efficiency is paramount, so we install glazed windows, sensor lighting and electricity supply that’s key card activated, so it’s not on all the time. When it comes to décor, our designers often opt for recycled furniture, using bespoke vintage pieces sourced locally and from flea markets.

As for our new furniture, we make sure we use suppliers who share our eco-friendly, community-minded ethos. Brands like Hypnos, Conran, Thurstan, Well Done Group and L&S Signage, are striving for carbon neutrality, using renewable natural resources that create long-lasting products which reduce waste and landfill.

We’re also working with local charities in all our locations. For example, we’ve teamed up with the Michael Carrick Foundation and Room to Reward in Manchester, helping to develop opportunities for children and reward some of the city’s top charity volunteers.

 

Our suppliers

Wherever we can, we choose local, because one of the best ways we can cut our carbon footprint is by reducing transportation of the products we need. We’re also keen to support local, independent businesses that, in turn, invest in their communities and boost the surrounding economy.

In Bankside, we stock our pantries with items from Borough Market and have our coffee roasted at the Gentleman Baristas, just two streets away. In Manchester, we get our brews from locals Ancoats Coffee and Bohea Tea. In Glasgow, we get them from Thomsons.

We work with suppliers that are sustainably minded and eco-friendly. In our English properties. Bramley provides refillable, full sized products for our apartments, using the most natural ingredients available, and bottles made of sugar cane instead of plastic. You’ll find Bramley’s biodegradable bamboo toothbrushes at Native Manchester and we use cruelty-free, toxin-free Innuscience cleaning products to care for your health, reduce pollution and stay eco-friendly.

Our apartments

We’ve found some really innovative ways to boost the sustainability of our apartments, and we’re always excited to trial new ideas. Like using Mitre Eco filling in our pillows, made from recycled plastic bottles, and recycled carpets with underlay made from old plastic.

We use biodegradable Nespresso capsules in Native Manchester – we’re rolling them out across all our aparthotels – and we also use energy A-rated appliances in all our new builds, reducing the pressure we put on the environment by cutting energy consumption.

We’re all about reducing our carbon footprint, as well as encouraging our guests to do so. It’s our mission to get people to love our neighbourhoods as much as we do, so we tell them about all the big sights and hidden gems within walking distance, getting them to reduce their carbon footprint by travelling on foot.

Our people

As for the heart and soul of Native, it’s all in our people. Our colleagues’ health and wellbeing is where it all begins.

That’s why we work with Hospitality Action, which offers mental health support to people who work in the hospitality industry. We also have a brilliant Cycle Scheme to get everyone biking to work, and there’s plenty more to come. After all, we’re worth it.

Frequently asked questions: Coronavirus (COVID-19)

We recognise the ongoing and increased uncertainty that coronavirus (COVID-19) is causing around the world and so our highest priority is the health and well-being of our guests and employees. With that in mind, we wanted to provide some further information to the questions you may have about your upcoming stay at Native.

 

Q. I’m staying at Native and I think I might have symptoms?

Please stay in your apartment and dial 111 and keep the team updated of the medical response via the emergency number on your key card.

Q. I think I have symptoms and I have been in the public areas. What should I do?

If a guest presents in a public area i.e. reception the guest is advised to immediately return to their room and dial 111.  The public area will be thoroughly cleaned with high strength anti-bacterial cleaning products and the reception team will report it to Native management.

Q. Is it safe to stay at Native?

We encourage you to follow advice from the UK Government and if you have been to any of the affected areas or feel you have symptoms please do not travel. Our emergency response teams are actively assessing the situation on a daily basis and we have a very robust and comprehensive plan in place – for our guests and staff.

Q. What’s the procedure if there is a suspected case at a Native property?

If a guest is presenting symptoms they are advised to remain in their apartment and dial 111. If in a public area, this will be thoroughly cleaned with high strength anti-bacterial cleaning products and the reception team will report it to Native management.

Q. What happens if you have to do a deep clean – will I be effected if staying with you?

This shouldn’t affect you. Native has very few properties with public areas so the majority are limited to reception and the lifts which will be deep cleaned. We do not anticipate a full closure of any building at this stage, but we are monitoring the situation closely and if this is required we would take the necessary steps to close the building, deep clean and re-locate guests within our portfolio.

Q. I want to cancel my booking – how do I do this?

We want you to have full peace of mind when booking with us. We’ve now extended our flexible rates across all of our properties and you can now book fully cancellable and amendable options that allow free cancellations or amendments up to 24 hours before your stay. For those that have already booked and would like to amend or cancel, please contact enquiries@nativeplaces.com.

Q. I’ve booked via an agent, can I can cancel with you?

For bookings made by a travel agent or online booking platform, guests should contact their agent and refer to their terms and conditions.

Q. Are Native closing because of COVID-19?

Rest assured, we’re open for stays! We’ve watched and assessed the development of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak and we offer our thoughts for all those that have been affected.

We continue to closely follow the latest advice of the UK Chief Medical Officer, NHS and UK Government and are also in close contact with local authorities, public health and our agents to minimise the risk to our staff and guests as much as possible.

Q. Can I still stay with you if I have symptoms?
