New Adina Apartment Hotels to open in Leipzig, Hamburg and Munich
TOGA Hospitality (now TFE Hotels) opened its first hotel in #Germany in 2007 at the famous Berlin Wall crossing point Checkpoint Charlie in the Mitte district, known as Berlin’s beating heart.
The Adina Apartment Hotel Leipzig opens in November 2017 in the city’s historic city centre and beside the medieval market square. Adina Apartment Hotel Hamburg Speicherstadt opens in February 2018 in the centre of Germany’s second largest city, between the famous redeveloped warehouse district ‘Speicherstadt’ and the main shopping district.
The group created a new niche for high quality apartment hotels and today the brand is flourishing there, working towards opening its tenth hotel in Germany, which is set to open in Munich in 2019.

Luxury apartment block for Edinburgh
PLANS for the major renovation of the Royal Bank of Scotland's former home on St Andrew Square into one of Edinburgh's newest tourism developments have been announced. Due to open in summer 2017, The #Edinburgh Grand is the latest addition to luxury accommodation provider, Lateral City #Apartments' portfolio of serviced accommodation.
The building will comprise 50 luxury apartments, many of which will feature retained original features. Plans also include restaurants, bars, retail outlets, and a gym.
Alongside the serviced apartments, Bon Vivant will be operating a coffee house and an evening venue offering late night entertainment and dining.
The Edinburgh Grand will also house a 200-cover bar and restaurant, located in the former banking hall, as well as further retail outlets.
Gavin MacLennan, general manager of Lateral City Apartments, said: ‘42 St Andrew Square is a building full of history and heritage, and after years of being closed to the general public, we are extremely excited to be working on what will become the pride of the city when complete.
‘Although relatively new to the market, Lateral City has established itself at the higher end of the serviced apartment sector, with a number of awards recognizing our unique approach. We're looking to replicate our current ethos in The Edinburgh Grand, which will sit well alongside our existing properties – Old Town Chambers and Merchiston Residence – and will offer an increased variety of options among the city's burgeoning serviced apartment sector. The kitchens in each apartment will offer guests the flexibility of preparing their own meals, making them suitable for both short city breaks and longer business stays.’
The Neo-Classical building was initially built between 1936 and 1942, gaining inspiration from Modernist American architecture.

Australian prison hotel to offer nights behind bars
VISITORS to #Australia will soon be able to spend a night behind bars, without the need to get arrested first. Pentridge Prison – built in 1851 and five miles from central Melbourne – is to be converted into an apartment hotel.
The new hotel comprises several elements, including the opportunity to stay in a converted prison cell. The prison’s former chapel will be transformed into a venue for weddings and functions.
The new hotel comprises several elements, including the opportunity to stay in a converted prison cell. The prison’s former chapel will be transformed into a venue for weddings and functions.
‘This hotel will sensitively re-open this historic asset in a way for the entire community to experience and appreciate,’ said Anthony Goh, a spokesperson for the Shayher Group, which is re-developing the prison. ‘In developing these plans, we have taken inspiration from similar projects in the United States and United Kingdom that have re-adapted jails into beautiful accommodation, paying tribute to the past by re-positioning them for the future.’
Rachel Argaman, CEO of TFE Hotels, said the hotel would attract ‘locals and visitors from overseas who will be intrigued to learn about Australia’s penal past’.
‘Hotels provide a great way to preserve the history of heritage-listed buildings, allowing unique and memorable experiences for guests who learn and experience aspects of that rich past.’
The hotel is expected to open in 2020, pending planning and heritage permits and construction approvals.
The prison housed convicts until 1997.

Staycity Apartments focused on expansion despite Brexit
STAYCITY CEO Tom Walsh says the company is committed to almost doubling its room count by the end of the year.
‘We remain committed to expanding in Europe and the UK, where we are actively looking for further sites which will allow us to grow further in line with projections in our five-year business plan,” he says.
‘While the UK’s exit from Europe is likely to cause some uncertainty in both the property and the hotel sectors, particularly when it comes to investment, the UK is strategically an important destination for us to operate within, so I can see no reason to change our plans.’
Speaking at the Serviced Apartment Summit Europe in London, Mr Walsh revealed that Staycity’s trading results had last year seen an impressive hike. ‘We have achieved this through high levels of customer service, attention to guest feedback, and improved customer understanding of the aparthotel offer.’
The company opened its latest premises, in York, this month (July). It’s a six-storey, semi-circular, 197-apartment block built on the site of a former swimming pool. Staycity York comprises studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments with a café, lounge, gym, guest laundry, car park, and locker room.
Another site is due to open later this year is in Marseille, France, and further openings next year will be in London Covent Garden, Liverpool, Manchester, and Lyon, France. The company is on target to expand to 15,000 apartments by 2021.

Cyprus launch for Your Nice Apartment
BOUTIQUE holiday accommodation specialists Your Nice Apartment has added #Cyprus to its portfolio.
‘For years, the accommodation options in Cyprus were limited,’ says Simon Walker, the agency’s co-founder. ‘You either travelled there for a traditional fly-and-flop holiday in large, often dated high rise apartments in coastal resorts or you headed for the foothills and interior, where accommodation often resembled a holiday home your Grandma had styled.
‘In the 15 years since the launch of agri-tourism, though, the accommodation offering has matured. What we wanted to do was curate a property collection which captured the zeitgeist, offering stunning beach front apartments – a slice of California cool – but also work with a new wave of holiday home owners in traditional villages, those who have understood the need to transform historic homes into seriously stylish holiday retreats to attract the UK holiday market.’
The company expects to see a rise in tourists during September and October, when Cyprus is one of the best places in the Mediterranean to catch late summer sun.
‘Nowhere in the Med is warmer or more reliably sunny than Cyprus in September and October,” says Mr Walker, ‘with nine hours of sunshine a day and temperatures of up to 28C. The sea, having been warmed by the searing heat during July and August is like a warm bath.’
Properties range from Delphinium, a £32 per night apartment in Larnaca sleeping four, to the Beach House in Konnos Bay sleeping six from £142 a night.
The agency, which also has properties in southern France and Ireland, will be launching a range of add-ons such as walking, cycling, and wine tours.
Its Cyprus launch coincides with the introduction of UK-Cyprus flights by budget airline Cobalt Air.

Book now … for 2017!
TO #TUSCANY is selling holidays for 2017 and is urging guests to move fast to secure the property of choice.
‘One-bedroom cottages with private pools are always the first to sell out,’ cautions the villa agency’s Sean Caulfield. ‘Big villas for large gatherings are also in high demand. As for timing, the school summer holidays are obviously high season, but the weeks around Pentecost, late May, and early June, are also a very busy period.’
To Tuscany has more than 760 #villas and apartments in the region, ranging from budget studios to an 11-bedroom, 15-bathroom villa sleeping up to 23.

Living like the locals in Europe with Delta Vacations
COOKING family dinner, chatting with neighbours, and meeting friends for coffee might not seem like typical vacation activities, yet increasingly – as travellers seek more immersive experiences – many are choosing to live like the locals while on holiday.
To help its customers take advantage of this trend, Delta Vacations, the vacation provider for Delta Air Lines, has been adding serviced vacation residences in destinations across Europe.
‘We understand that our customers are looking for new ways to experience Europe,’ says John Caldwell, president of Delta Vacations. ‘Serviced vacation residences are an exciting option for couples, friends, and multi-generational families wanting to connect with a city, its people, and its culture.
‘Serviced vacation residences such as apartments and condominiums offer more space than standard hotel rooms typically provide. These studio, one- and two-bedroom apartments are fully-furnished, include well-equipped kitchens and are centrally located to serve as a home away from home while on vacation. But unlike short-term apartment rentals or home-sharing programs, Delta Vacations works with top hospitality providers to offer world-class self-catering vacation residences that are managed and cleaned by professional staff.’
Delta Vacations has serviced apartments in Prague; England (Birmingham, Bristol, and London); Nice; Budapest; Italy (Florence and Rome); Lisbon; Scotland (Edinburgh and Glasgow); Spain (Barcelona and Madrid); and the US (including California, Florida, Hawaii, and New York).

Nice … at half the Price
IT'S the second most visited city in #France after Paris with more than five million visitors a year but as anyone who has holidayed in #Nice and elsewhere along the French Riviera knows, living the high life can come at a cost. Two of the largest upcoming events on the coast – the Cannes Film Festival (May 11-22) and the #MonacoGrandPrix (May 26-29) can see hotel rates quadruple.
But, conveniently half way between Cannes and Monaco and a mere 30-minute drive away, Nice, the largest city on the Cote D'Azur, is the ideal location for catching them both.
According to Simon Walker, co-founder of Your Nice Apartment, holidaying in Nice and the French Riviera doesn't have to break the bank. ‘Customers have not only changed the way they book accommodation, by-passing the big, expensive corporate hotels and booking direct with holiday owners instead, but also the type of accommodation they want to book. Not only are our apartments hundreds of pounds cheaper than the hotel-room equivalent, but they offer guests maximum flexibility, privacy, and provide the quintessential Nice experience.
‘Hotels are not allowed in the Old Town or 'Vieux Nice' so, apart from a backpackers hostel, renting an apartment is the only way to stay in that area of Nice.’
The agency’s properties range from high end luxury apartments with air con, wi-fi, and a balcony with Oscar-winning views to budget boutique hide-aways, with prices from £36 a night to http://www.yourniceapartment.com/search-nice-properties/cagnes-sur-mer/villa-estelle/£486 per night for large villas.

Rentals shortage predicted as 'safe’ destination bookings rise
‘We’re seeing high demand for our villas and apartments across southern Europe, with Spain and Italy being particularly popular’
RENTAL home specialist Interhome has predicted a shortage of accommodation in destinations seen to be safe from Islamic terrorism after seeing bookings to Turkey drop 75% on last year.
The agency says the current uncertainty over some traditional summer destinations has also caused bookings to Egypt to drop 35% against 2015.
However, bookings to Spain are up by 30% and Italy by 25%, with Florida and the Caribbean also ‘performing well’.
The firm believes that as demand outstrips supply, there could be a shortage of holiday accommodation available in perceived safe destinations with prices at a ‘considerable high’.
Interhome is advising customers to book their European summer holidays as far in advance as possible.
‘We’re seeing high demand for our villas and apartments across southern Europe, with Spain and Italy being particularly popular,’ said Thijs van Oss, Interhome’s regional director for Northern Europe. ‘Our staff in these destinations are working to expand capacity even further, but nevertheless a shortage is to be expected.
‘What we will see is a swathe of very cheap offers coming in for Turkey, Tunisia, and Egypt, but a lot of the flying has been stripped back already for those countries, so there will be difficulty in providing cheap packages. Additional flying capacity has been put on for Western European destinations, but here we will have the opposite problem, that all of the best accommodation options will have been taken.’

Get Go Holiday now …
‘UNIQUE’ is a much over-used adjective these days, but it’s the right word to describe Go Holiday magazine. It’s the only travel and tourism magazine in Britain – and possibly on the planet – that’s focused on the growing self-catering sector worldwide … everything from cottages in Cumbria and Cornwall to apartments and villas in Florida to the Med.
It features travel and tourism news, and expert location reports showcasing the best of holiday regions and vacation attractions throughout Britain – where the self-catering sector is conservatively estimated to account for 7.6% of all holiday visits and 12.9% of all tourism revenue – and globally.
Readers can make holiday bookings directly with property owners or their specialist rental agents. Properties – cottages, houses, apartments and villas – are advertised in Go Holiday by owners or letting agencies. E-mailing or ’phoning the owner direct means you'll be in contact with someone who knows the property and the locality well.
The self-catering sector is expanding, and it’s not difficult to see why; the advantages of a cottage or villa break have rarely been more obvious and attractive. They are in many cases less expensive than hotel stays, so they save you money that can be spent on the treats that make a get-away even more enjoyable or, in these tougher economic times, just saved. And they offer the flexibility, freedom and privacy that many hotels can’t provide – you eat when you want to, and many villas in Florida and southern Europe offer the luxury of your own private pool.

And they offer the flexibility, freedom and privacy that many hotels can’t provide – you eat when you want to, and many villas in Florida and southern Europe offer the luxury of your own private pool.

Butlin’s to bring seaside apartments to Bognor Regis & Minehead
FOLLOWING the success of its seaside apartments at Skegness last year, #Butlin’s has confirmed it will introduce them to its Bognor Regis and Minehead resorts in 2016.
The two- and three-bedroom apartments have open plan living areas, patios, balconies, kitchens, and shower rooms.
A four-night break at Butlin’s Minehead resort is priced from £79 per person, based on four people sharing a seaside apartment at Butlin’s Minehead in March.
