Hilton has announced the launch of LivSmart Studios, its new long stay aparthotel concept.
The new concept is built to accommodate guest stays of 20 nights or more and currently boasts more than 350 deals in various stages of negotiation.
The company already broke ground five months ago on the first LivSmart hotel in Kokomo, Indiana in the USA.
The future 137-room property is expected to be open and functional by late summer 2024.
Chris Silcock, president, Global Brands and Commercial Services, said: “At Hilton, we continue to innovate our brands to meet the needs of the ever-evolving traveller, and we are excited to find an opportunity to better serve the long-stay guest with LivSmart Studios.
