Staying Cool's studios are a Wallpaper* reader's dream

Daily Telegraph

No two of our apartments are the same, yet the same philosophy imbues them all: great, functional design, state-of-the-art technology and maximum comfort – all backed up by our seamless service.

You’ll be staying in either a four or five star rated serviced apartment (quality assessed by Visit Britain). We also have boutique hotel operator Mr & Mrs Smith’s seal of approval as their only recommended serviced apartment provider in Britain. The award-winning website, i-Escape, has also just agreed to put us on their books.

Maximum comfort

You’ll feel like you are staying in your own personal suite – with a great king size bed, a lounge to relax in, a well-equipped kitchen and a punch-packing bathroom.

  • King size pocket-sprung mattresses with memory foam (they are called the Ultimate – you’ll know why in the morning..)
  • Luxurious linen, sumptuous duvets and fluffy robes
  • Hand-blended organic aromatherapy spa products in the bathroom - great for you and the environment
  • Sofas and chairs – they don’t just look great, they were all commissioned or purchased with maximum comfort in mind
  • Well-equipped kitchens including top-of-the-range names such as Poggen Pohl, Smeg and Bosch
  • Great power showers that pack a punch and/or a large bath for less busy times

 

Great designers

We work with some of the UK’s best designers – from household names to the next generation of creative talent.

‘For the past 25 years Italian designers have been synonymous with taste and style. This has changed over the past decade with the emergence of young British designers such as naughtone who manufacture all of their furniture here in the UK. Their designs are stylish without being over-styled and we love their all-important attention to detail. They have great green credentials too.’ Paul Taylor, Staying Cool’s creative director

 

  • We commission pieces from up-and-coming designers and studios (naughtone, Anne Kyro Quinn, Lou Rota)
  • We source original pieces from the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s… (Eames, Jacobsen and Panton)
  • We find abandoned furniture and painstakingly restore or refurbish it
  • We buy from more established names such as Timorous Beasties, Tom Dixon and Paul Smith

 

Green Matters

We've always used Ecover cleaning products and energy saving light bulbs in our apartments but we realised about a year ago that while we all did a fair bit for the environment at home, we didn't quite live up to the same high standards at work. So we introduced our own Staying Green policy and have been applying the 3 Rs of reducing, re-using and re-cycling ever since. If you can think of any other ways that we can help the environment during your stay then do let us know.

Pricing

We have apartments in five price categories – something to suit every style and budget:

  • Anything but standard one bed
  • Deluxe one bed
  • Deluxe two bed
  • Ultimate one bed
  • Penthouse (two or three bedrooms)

Prices range from £115 to £450 per night. Reductions for longer stays.
