New Canary Wharf property marks further investment in the capital’s
hospitality industry
KUALA LUMPUR, 27 January, 2015. Tune Hotels, pioneers of the hotel industry’s
‘limited service’ model, will celebrate the opening of its fifth London hotel and
the seventh in the UK next month.
The 130 room Tune Hotel Canary Wharf
will open its doors to the public on 2 February, continuing its strategic focus
on London. Shoreditch will be the home of the sixth London hotel in 2016 and
details of further openings are currently being finalised, contributing new
investment in excess of £40m in the capital.
Located in the heart of London’s
financial district – 100m from West India Quay, beside Cannon Workshops on
Hertsmere Road – Tune Hotel Canary Wharf is just a short walk from the major banks
and financial institutions and is conveniently located for people flying in and
out of London City Airport.
As well as serving London’s business
community, the latest addition to Tune’s portfolio is ideally placed for the
leisure market, with local attractions such as the O2, ExCeL and the Olympic
Park on it’s doorstep. And, with a tube journey to Bond Street only taking 20
minutes from Canary Wharf, the hotel provides the perfect accommodation for
those wanting to travel into ‘town’, without paying the price of a central
London hotel.
The global chain, which already has six hotels in operation across the
UK and opened a new hotel in Newcastle in late 2014, recently confirmed an
expansion plan equivalent to £200m investment into the UK market. Unveiling
plans to open 25 new properties by 2020, the company anticipates this will create significant
employment growth in the hospitality sector.
Mark Lankester, Group CEO
of Tune Hotels Group, said: “London is where we started in the United Kingdom
and remains the heart of our expansion into the regions of the UK. There is no
foreseeable saturation point for Tune Hotels in London as the capital offers so
many locations where our value for money concept would be welcomed by domestic
and international travellers alike, especially by those who are familiar with
the concept from staying at our hotels in other countries. For this reason,
London will continue to form a crucial part of our overall UK plans for
growth.”
Tune Hotels focus on what
guests really want, which research shows to be high quality beds, powerful
showers, central locations, a clean environment and
24-hour security. Guests only pay for what they actually want and need, helping
keep room costs low. Rooms at Tune Hotel Canary Wharf start at just £55 with
special promotional rates from as low as £35 available throughout February 2015.
The new Tune Hotel Canary Wharf will feature interior design
upgrades providing a unique guest ambience and technology support for the
modern traveller including 40” flat screen TV’s.
