Innovative hospitality leader edyn is preparing to roll out its popular lifestyle brand Locke, with new sites planned to open across the UK and internationally throughout 2021.
Locke elevates the traditional aparthotel model by combining beautifully designed self-contained studio apartments – complete with fully fitted kitchens, living areas and laundry facilities – with dynamic, experiential social spaces typical of a lifestyle hotel. Locke challenges convention by partnering with exciting up-and-coming designers and disruptive food and drink partners to give each location its own character and style. Openings in 2021 will include a further two locations in London, a new property in Cambridge and the European expansion of the brand into Germany and Ireland.
Kingsland Locke, located in Dalston, London, is set to open in May 2021. The aparthotel will 124 contemporary studio apartments alongside a complimentary co-working space, on-site microbrewery and gin distillery, all-day restaurant, workout studio and coffee shop. Also opening in London is Buckle Street Studios by Locke, which will features 87 micro studios and 16 new hotel-style rooms. The property is expected to open in October 2021.
In September, Cambridge will welcome Turing Locke, which will feature 180 of Locke’s signature fully fitted contemporary studio apartments along with a seasonal rooftop terrace and leafy courtyard. Dublin will welcome two Locke locations – Beckett Locke, which will open in August and Zanzibar Locke, which will open to leisure travelers in May 2021, in-line with government guidance. Munich will also see the opening of two locations with Schwan Locke opening in May and Wunderlocke opening in July.
