Yotel is set to open Yotelpad London Stratford by June 2024, marking the debut of the Yotelpad brand in Europe, and Yotel’s seventh property in the UK.
Yotelpad London Stratford will “prioritise smart design and functionality” across its 62 ‘pads’, each offering multi-functional live, work and sleep areas, bathrooms, and kitchenettes.
Additional facilities will include Yotel’s signature Mission Control check-in area, a Grab and Go snack station, as well as a retail space.
The new building’s Excellent BREEAM rating certifies that it has been developed to optimise environmental performance, guest comfort and resource efficiency. 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.
Yotelpad London Stratford will be bookable for stays ranging from one-night to monthly, with a range of size and layout options available.
Rohan Thakkar, chief development officer at Yotel, said: “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.”
Yotel added it remains “firmly on track” to reach its goal of 50 hotels, both in operation and signed, by 2025.
