Staycity plans to open new Wilde aparthotel in Oxford

Aparthotel operator Staycity Group has announced plans to open a Wilde property in the UK city of Oxford.

The 145-room property will be created as part of the redevelopment of a former cinema site in the centre of the university city. The project is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2027.

Staycity opened the first of its “design-led” Wilde aparthotels in central London in 2017. It now has four Wilde properties in the UK capital, as well as locations in Berlin, Edinburgh and Manchester.

Simon Walford, Staycity’s UK development director, said: “We are very excited to be opening a Wilde in the historic and popular city of Oxford and in such a key location as the Gloucester Green area, which is close to shops, restaurants, bars and theatres.

“The aparthotel will make a huge contribution towards the city’s need for more overnight accommodation.”

As well as the forthcoming Oxford property, Staycity is planning to open Wilde aparthotels in Cambridge, Lisbon and Porto as part of its expansion plans.
