The FINANCIAL — Staybridge Suites, the much-loved extended-stay brand from IHG (InterContinental Hotels Group), on February 22 unveils a new design for its future openings at Business Travel Show London 2018.
Building on Staybridge Suites’ brand hallmarks; The Pantry, Evening Socials plus 24-hour fitness and laundry facilities, the stylish new communal spaces will offer even more places to work, meet or relax.

As business travel needs change, so do our hotels. The new Staybridge Suites design was developed around guest insights, hotel feedback and key trends in hospitality, bringing an even more home-like feel to the brand. We can’t wait for guests to experience the new design at our openings later this year.”
