Staycity stated, "Leading aparthotel operator Staycity is set to open its largest Wilde Aparthotel by Staycity to date, part of a prestigious development in London's Paddington.
"The premium brand property, scheduled to open on 14th December, offers 249 design-led studios and one-bed apartments with bar, breakfast station, well-equipped gym, guest laundry and spacious guest lounge. The property is set in a £203m development complex, part of the ongoing transformation of the area as an office and leisure location.

London plays a pivotal part in our ongoing European expansion and Paddington, together with our properties in Aldgate, Covent Garden, Deptford, Greenwich and Heathrow, give Staycity a strong footing across the city demonstrating its strategic importance as one of Europe’s key destinations for leisure and corporate travellers.'"
