stayAPT Suites to roll out 4-story prototype

stayAPT Suites is adding a new four-story prototype to its menu of two- and three-story models. Designed to satisfy elevated demand and penetrate higher-barrier-to-entry markets, the 103-unit, four-story prototype will be introduced first in corporate and franchise markets in North Carolina and California.

“It’s a thrill to partner with our franchisees on the roll-out of this new four-story prototype and expand our geographic footprint in the process, including our first hotel in California,” Gary DeLapp, stayAPT Suites’ president and CEO, said in a statement. “These new deals signal continued confidence from a growing number of our partners who recognize the unique value stayAPT Suites brings to the long-term lodging segment. We are looking forward to working with them as we take this brand coast to coast.”

Each stayAPT Suites room includes an open-concept living room with a sleeper sofa, lounge chair, and a wall-mounted smart 55-inch television. The kitchen features a full-size stove, oven, dishwasher, microwave, and refrigerator. The private separate bedroom, located down the hall from the living area, offers a king or two queen-sized beds, a walk-in closet, a desk, and a second wall-mounted smart television. 

Each room features its own climate-control system. Windows in both the living room and bedroom offer an opportunity for fresh circulation as well as plenty of natural light. The hotel’s optional, mobile app allows guests to bypass front-desk interaction with contactless check-in and digital-key room access.

stayAPT Suites also has added franchise partnerships in the following markets:

  • Atlanta-Lithia Springs, Ga.
  • St Louis-Bridgeton, Mo.
  • Phoenix-Peoria, Ariz.
  • Riverside-Palmdale/Lancaster, Calif.

These new franchises, combined with the existing corporate and franchise pipeline of open, under construction, and predevelopment projects, expand stayAPT Suites to more than 75 locations across 22 U.S. states from North Carolina to California.
