Apart’otel operator Room 2 has announced the development of its second apart’otel. It will be in Southampton and is due for completion in March 2018.

Room 2 Southampton will be located at 1-8 Queens Terrace in Southampton.

The deck and interior features will not be dissimilar to those found on board traditional cruise liners, a nod towards the importance of Southampton in cross-Atlantic travel.

Room 2 Southampton will have 71 studio rooms featuring a kitchen, work table, rainfall showers, free wi-fi, a television, a king-sized bed and air conditioning.

Some rooms will also have ‘mezzanine top decks’.

The public areas in Room 2 Southampton will include a space to work, meet and relax. A coffee bar during the day will become a bar in the evening.

A third apart’otel - Room 2 Chiswick in London – is expected to open next year. It will join Room 2 Hammersmith and Room 2 Southampton as the third unit in the group.
