A new aparthotel brand has been launched, with its first site located in the popular Spitalfields area of East London.

Founded by credible entrepreneur, Karan Uppal, ‘Aptel’ sets out to provide both corporate and leisure guests with a modern and comfortable ‘home away from home’ via stylish and fully serviced apartments with high-tech energy efficient systems throughout.

Focused on creating a safe and seamless experience for guests, the Aptel model also maximises the use of technology to create a smooth experience on arrival and departure, where guests are provided with a unique access code to their designated suite via a touchscreen device – all while benefitting from the added assurance of a 24hr concierge.

The first Aptel site, Aptel East, is located on Commercial Road, just a short distance from Whitechapel and Aldgate East tube stations and iconic London locations, Shoreditch, Tower Bridge and St Katherine Docks.

Comprising of 33 suites, including family suites for four and studio suites for double or single occupancy, Aptel East has already proven popular with both corporate and leisure guests alike since officially opening its doors in October 2021.

Karan Uppal, Founder and CEO of Aptel, confirmed: “When developing the Aptel model, I focused on striking a balance between offering all guests a modern, comfortable and stylish ‘home away from home’, with a seamless and safe experience.

Since welcoming our first guests to Aptel East, we have received nothing but positive feedback, with many individuals commenting on the ease and safety of the tech-driven check in/out experience, particularly during the recent peak of COVID-19 cases within the city. I am excited about our growth over the next 12 months as more and more guests enjoy their stay at Aptel East and look forward to expanding our market share in the coming years.”

With ambitious growth plans, new Aptel sites are forecast to open in London and other UK city locations within the next 12 – 24 months.
