1589 Hotels moves in to serviced apartment market
1589 Hotels, part of Clarks Hotel Group, has announced a major expansion plan which includes its first serviced apartments.
“It’s been a great excitement to be here at the Summit. It’s enabled us to network with operators from different regions, to understand where the market trends are going, to partner with technology companies to see how we can improve our properties. It’s like a crash course in serviced apartments and we have really enjoyed ourselves.
