Aptel, a new aparthotel brand, has officially launched with its first site located in East London.
The first Aptel site, Aptel East, is specifically located on Commercial Road, a short distance from Whitechapel and Aldgate East tube stations.
Founded by entrepreneur Karan Uppal, ‘Aptel’ said it sets out to provide both corporate and leisure guests with a “modern and comfortable” ‘home away from home’ via fully serviced apartments with “high-tech” energy efficient systems throughout.
Aptel offers 33 suites, including family suites for four and studio suites for double or single occupancy.
The hotel also said it “maximises” the use of technology to create a “smooth” experience on arrival and departure, where guests are provided with a unique access code to their designated suite via a touchscreen device.
Karan Uppal, founder and CEO of Aptel, said: “When developing the Aptel model, I focused on striking a balance between offering all guests a modern, comfortable and stylish ‘home away from home’, with a seamless and safe experience.
“Since welcoming our first guests to Aptel East, we have received nothing but positive feedback, with many individuals commenting on the ease and safety of the tech-driven check in/out experience, particularly during the recent peak of Covid-19 cases within the city.”
New Aptel sites are forecast to open in London and other UK city locations within the next 12 – 24 months.
