As its new independent operating partner, Cycas Hospitality will help to introduce European travellers to Quest Apartment Hotels (Quest) – Australasia’s largest and fastest growing apartment-hotel brand – and capitalise on the growing demand for alternative accommodation options across the continent.Paul Constantinou, founder and executive chairman of Quest, said, “The work we are doing to build a great team in Liverpool and laying foundations with expert strategic partners in Cycas Hospitality demonstrates our commitment to realising the potential of the extended stay market in the UK.”

Extended-stay accommodation for business travellers

Quest has more than 170 apartment-hotels throughout Australasia and intends to open 8 to 12 properties in the UK and Europe over the next five years. Matt Luscombe, chief executive officer of Cycas Hospitality, added, “Living in Australia for the last two years, I’ve seen first-hand how impressive Quest Apartment Hotels are in action. They offer business travellers a fantastic extended-stay accommodation service in an incredible network of locations.“I’m delighted Quest has chosen to partner with Cycas to launch Quest Apartment Hotels into the UK; a strong endorsement of our track record for excellence and growth momentum across the region’s fast-growing extended-stay sector. That the first Quest property we will be working on together is in the heart of Liverpool – where Cycas Hospitality’s own journey began in 2008 – is an auspicious milestone for our business’s growth. We look forward to building the brand’s profile and introducing Quest to a new market with tremendous potential.”
