Tune Hotels Opens First Low Cost Hotel in the UK
Tiffany PhillipsReports now show that a Malaysian hospitality group is now aiming to revolutionize the European hotel market. This will be done by applying a new low cost style of pricing to its rooms. This means that the hotels will be charging for everything from towels to room cleaning.
Tune Hotels is set to open this new one-of-a-kind hotel in the UK. It will be located in Central London and should be open by the end of this month. It will offer everything from standard rooms with ensuite at £35 a night.
The hotel does plan on generating most of its revenue from ancillary charges. Towels will cost £1 a throw. Room cleaning will be £7.50 or the guest can choose to do it themselves. Luggage storage will cost £2 and a hair dryer will cost the same.
Just following the opening of the Westminster Bridge Road hotel on August 30, there are going to be more plans to roll out a further 15 of these hotels across the capital by 2017. This will create an additional 1,500 rooms and represent a £150 million investment in the London’s hospitality sector.
Mark Lankesster, who is the company’s chief executive said that it’s all about choices. The company says consumers should be able to assemble the experience they want themselves. He said that they aim to provide whatever suits the customers’ wants in terms of timing, pricing and of course comfort. People will no longer have to pay for what they do not want. Thus, in the end, people are saving money.
