AMBA HOTEL CHARING CROSS ENTERS TOP 5 FOR LONDON HOTELS ON TRIPADVISOR

Amba Hotel Charing Cross, which opened it's doors last October, has climbed over 50 places since its launch to rank 4th out of 1,064 London hotels on customer-ratings website TripAdvisor.

With 239 rooms, Amba Hotel Charing Cross has more than double the number of rooms of any other hotel in the top 10, showing that it can deliver the personalised service offered by the boutique hotels that dominate the TripAdvisor top 10, at scale.
 
The new 4-star hotel offering was developed after extensive research with global customers and combines friendly, knowledgeable staff with an amazing location and the fastest, free, unlimited WiFi in an international meetings and events hotel.

The hotel's General Manager, Glenn Hallam, said; "We pride ourselves on offering our guests those little touches that make their stay special; whether that's complimentary drinks on arrival or helping arrange a last-minute birthday celebration, so it's wonderful to read the TripAdvisor reviews and see all the team's hard work paying off."
 
Belinda Atkins, CEO of Amba Hotels said: "In an industry first, we partnered with a product development agency more normally associated with car design to help create bedrooms and spaces built around traveller's needs, so it's great to see that guests love our approach."
 
The second Amba Hotel will open in Marble Arch in the second half of 2015 and will offer the same blend of location, seamless technology and personalised service as its Charing Cross counterpart.

In addition, Amba Hotel Charing Cross has been nominated for World's Leading Smart Luxury Hotel. We're delighted to be in the running for this prestigious award. And we won't deny it, we'd love to win. Guest satisfaction is the main reward for the passion and dedication of everyone in the Amba Hotels team. However, this prestigious accolade would be a strong endorsement of our commitment to delivering a superb experience for everyone who stays with us.

glh ANNOUNCES THISTLE EXPRESS

glh announced Thistle Express, the next generation of hotel from Thistle.
Thistle Express is a new value hotel concept, with the first site due to open in London in 2016. The new hotel brand will offer modern design, stylish bedrooms, friendly and efficient service, as well as super-fast unlimited free Wi-Fi for everyone – all at great value.
 
Mike DeNoma, CEO, glh, says: "You can no longer divide the market into travellers who only stay in economy hotels, versus those who stick to four or five star luxury.  Thistle Express is a brand that caters for the modern traveller.  Research told us that fast, free Wi-Fi is not just a luxury for luxury hotel guests, but is an expectation for economy hotel guests too. It's about offering guests what they want, at that moment in time, for that specific stay."
 
Thistle is a top UK hotel brand, highly recognised as offering value.  glh will leverage this strong brand equity in its exciting new Thistle Express proposition.
glh's determination to shake up the hotel industry has already seen it innovate in the four star sector with the limited feature every hotels brand and it is now turning its attention to the economy sector.
 
"Economy lodging accounts for 38% of all branded hotel rooms in the UK having added 70,000 rooms over the past 10 years.  Its position will be sustained because its prime markets, domestic and foreign short-stay leisure demand, will continue to be the fastest growing sources of UK hotel demand." according to Paul Slattery, Director of OTUS & Co a specialist hospitality finance and strategy advisors.
 
glh's commitment to ongoing research has driven the development of Thistle Express and over the next 12 months further insight and feedback will continue to inform the brand proposition.
Features include:

  • Thistle Express will challenge the economy sector by offering the fastest free Wi-Fi in the sector.
  • Simple and efficient booking and a Choose Your Own Room service letting guests select their room before arriving
  • Knowledgeable staff, on hand to help at all times; everything from advice on using technology in the hotel, to what's on in the local area
  • Smart, modern bedrooms and bathrooms  offering high quality comfort and smart TV's

glh has already created two new disruptive brands in the four star sector:  Amba Hotel Charing Cross is now at number four on Trip Advisor (out of 1060 hotels in London), and every hotel Piccadilly is already in the top 50 and also quickly moving up the rankings.  glh will now take these expertise into the economy sector with Thistle Express.
 
The first Thistle Express will open in London in 2016 and the ambition is to open a further ten hotels over the next five years.
