Australian-based Quest Apartment Hotels plans to make its debut in the UK with a property in Liverpool.
Quest Liverpool City Centre will open in 2019 and will be located in currently vacant office space in a building in Church Street, adjacent to the Liverpool ONE complex.
The building itself is a 1980s commercial office building with retail on the ground and first floors.
Quest will convert the existing vacant office space on levels two, three and four and construct additional levels five and six, creating 100 serviced apartments, a reception, a conference room and a gym.
Quest Apartment Hotels was established nearly 30 years ago in Melbourne and has developed a 160 strong Quest Apartment Hotel portfolio. Quest has 27 properties currently in the pipeline and 12 under construction in its home market.
Quest aims to open 8-10 apartment hotels across the UK by 2023.
