The best of both worlds
Dual branding has become more common in hotel development to optimise return, efficiency and market coverage, particularly on large sites.
This is a large hotel with 613 keys, leisure and destination restaurants and comprises two brands from IHG. Their most recognisable brand Holiday Inn has had a major refresh and this hotel demonstrates their open lobby concept, along with a bespoke destination restaurant which attracts custom from surrounding hotels. An impressive five storey internal atrium creates a dramatic focus for the public areas.
The sister hotel Staybridge Suites is an aparthotel designed to appeal to a more specific customer. The apartments have a more residential feel and along with kitchen facilities and more space are ideal for longer-stay business travellers or families. Shared back of house facilities and clever integration of the two hotels allows high construction and operational efficiency while also maintaining the identity of each brand.
We have extensive experience working in close proximity to airports and worked with expert consultants to maximise the scale of the hotel while keeping within National Air Traffic Control restrictions.
