Staycity Group

Dublin-based, privately-owned Staycity Group was co-founded in Dublin in 2004 by CEO Tom Walsh and has since grown to become one of Europe’s leading aparthotel operators. The properties, which operate under the Staycity Aparthotels and the premium Wilde Aparthotels brands, appeal to business and leisure travellers offering central city locations, well-equipped, modern apartments, fantastic customer service and facilities that include a guest laundry, gym, lounge, café and 24-hour reception.

Over the past 18 months the company has opened a record 12 new sites across Germany, France, Ireland and the UK – an additional 2,724 keys, creating 500 new jobs. A further six properties are scheduled to open through 2023/24 which will take Staycity into Amsterdam, Cambridge, Munich, Lisbon and Porto for the first time.
