Enter the whimsical world of aparthotels, those delightful hybrids that marry the swankiness of hotels with the snuggly charm of home sweet home. Picture this: a place where the bed isn’t just a bed but a fluffy cloud waiting to cradle you, and the kitchenette isn’t just a corner but a culinary playground for your inner chef. Aparthotels have swept across the accommodation scene like a trendsetting tornado, and the secret sauce lies in their interiors – the heart and soul of these incredible spaces. Now, buckle up as we embark on a journey through the enchanting realms of aparthotel interiors, with our spotlight fixed on the outstanding design sensibilities you will find in all Native Places.

Behold the Rise of Aparthotels!

Aparthotels, the chameleons of hospitality, cater to a spectrum of wanderers – the suit-clad nomads, the family troops, and the adventurers in search of a nest that feels less like a cold, anonymous box and more like a personalised space to stay. It’s vital to search for a space that boasts the amenities of a fully furnished apartment with a kitchen, living space, and bedrooms for those who want everything at their fingertips. But there is a dramatic difference between an everyday apartment/ aparthotel and a high-end aparthotel that ticks the boxes and elevates your stay.

Interiors At Native are Next-Level

Want to level up from the apartment/ aparthotel basics listed above? In the cosmic constellation of aparthotels, Native Places emerges as the intergalactic pioneer, boldly going where no designer or other aparthotel collection has gone before. The native mission? Crafting spaces that offer comfort and functionality, all with dazzling decorations and interior design sensibilities, all while providing the services of high-end hotels. Native aparthotels aren’t just lifeless spaces. Nay, nay – neutral colour palettes cast a spell of serenity, and clean lines and textures with luxurious furnishings offer comfort and convenience on another level. Additional cleaning services, room service, and more will make your stay in any Native unforgettable. It’s a boutique service in your own fully-equipped apartment in the middle of the action.

Mix in a Hint of Local Magic

What sets Native Places apart is the connection to local communities. We are part of every location, from streets, events, the local food scene, and part of the people surrounding us. Native locations are not just a bed or a place to crash. Each is a cultural hug, an immersion into the local area offering authenticity to your stay.

At Native Places we’re set to embark on an exciting phase of expansion and revitalisation, unveiling new spaces and projects that underscore our commitment to innovation and the guest experience.

With the announcement of our new Native property in Fulham, London, and the completion of significant renovations at Native Glasgow, we’re elevating the stay experience to new heights. These developments follow the much-awaited opening of Native King’s Wardrobe, St Paul’s, scheduled for April 2024.  In the terrace houses that enclose the courtyard sits 92 apartments, from studios to spacious one, two and three-bedroom apartments, some with breath-taking views of the 17^th Century Cathedral from their terrace. The property will feature Counter, a vibrant neighbourhood space for discovering the city and locals to take a break from the race, creating soul-nourishing bites by day and offering liquid therapy by night. We offer a curation of cultural events to keep our guests entertained, embodying the essence of community and connection.

In line with our dedication to offering freedom and flexibility for extended stays, Native Fulham Broadway will mark the eighth aparthotel in our growing portfolio and the fifth in the bustling capital. The concept for Native Fulham Broadway draws inspiration from the area’s rich market traditions and the vibrant atmosphere of West Brompton. In collaboration with the award-winning design studio YOUTH, the design reflects a vision that integrates its eclectic surroundings, fostering an immersive connection with the community.

Native Places remains dedicated to preserving the high design standard across our existing portfolio. Native Glasgow is in the process of undergoing a complete renovation to enhance our guest’s experience. The redesigned space brings comfort, style and art deco pieces, reflecting our commitment to creating modern and aesthetically designed space while honouring each building’s heritage and identity.

The remarkable success of Native Places has fuelled our determination to expand further across the UK. Olivia Immesi, our CEO, expresses her excitement, stating, “This is a very exciting time for Native Places as we expand operations further across the UK. The future of aparthotels worldwide, particularly in the UK, is significant, with the demand for longer stays is one of the fastest-growing sectors within the hospitality industry.”

Our aparthotel offers the freedom and flexibility of a local apartment with the comfort and convenience of a boutique hotel, surpassing the traditional hotel experience. We cater to interesting people seeking interesting places, offering curious families and energetic and business travellers a hybrid setup that meets their needs.

This initiative provides guests exclusive access to the best local amenities, enabling them to live like locals in each Native Places community.

Dedicated to sustainability, Native Places is on the path to becoming a B-Corp listed company. From recycled plastic bottle-filled pillows to carpets made from old plastic, we incorporate sustainable practices at every guest touchpoint, underscoring our commitment to the environment.

As we journey towards the continued expansion of our aparthotels and brand, we remain focused on sustainable growth and offering unique, design-led aparthotel experiences. The year ahead holds exciting prospects as we continue to create great places with great people in great areas across the UK and beyond, shaping the future of the extended stay.
