Yotel has announced that it is set to open Yotelpad Stratford on 1 June, the first Yotelpad in the European market.
The site will offer 62 pads, each offering multi-functional live, work and sleep areas, bathrooms and kitchenettes.
Additional facilities will include Yotel’s mission control check-in area, grab and go snack station, as well as a retail space.
Sustainable initiatives include occupancy sensors in the rooms and corridors to control lighting, air source heat pumps for hot water, MVHR ventilation system and heat recovery, and solar panels.
The building incorporates green roofs to absorb rainfall, reducing runoff, along with bird and bat boxes to support biodiversity efforts in the area.
It comes after the company launched Yotel Geneva Lake, its inaugural hotel in Switzerland.
Rohan Thakkar, chief development officer, said: “We are thrilled to announce the openings of two exceptional hotels, a significant step forward in our growth strategy in Europe. Yotel Geneva Lake, our inaugural property in Switzerland, marks the beginning of our expansion efforts in the country, where we recognize substantial potential in key markets like Zurich and Basel.
“The introduction of our first Yotelpad in London and Europe couldn’t come at a better time, especially considering the rising demand for office conversions. Leveraging the strength of the extended stay model in today’s environment, Yotelpad serves as an ideal solution. The Yotelpad brand enables us to enhance our presence in existing markets and explore opportunities for dual-branded hotels, akin to our successful model in Miami.”
