Staying local

With an abundance of soft furnishings and homely touches such as throw blankets, each of the 168 serviced apartments designed by Grzywinski+Pons has been created as a home-from-home.

Guests are invited to take part in Leman Locke’s specially curated cultural programme, which it describes as ‘designed to entertain, enlighten and bring the local and traveller community together in creative ways’. Visitors can arrange to take part in activities ranging from round-table discussions hosted by local business people to cocktail master classes.

Those who want to improve their health and wellbeing can also sign up for the wellness programme, which includes yoga, meditation, cooking and running. Under the blog section, the website offers editorial content that caters for both business travellers and tourists, with recommendations on the best local coffee shops as well as tips for a productive meeting.
