Accredited ASAP Member edyn has announced the expansion of its lifestyle aparthotel brand Locke into Paris.
The acquisition of a historic property in the city’s fifth arrondissement will be followed by its development into a 145 key boutique aparthotel, due to open in 2024.
The property is currently an 18th Century mansion located in the cosmopolitan Latin Quarter, a stone’s throw from Sorbonne University and the Panthéon, which will be transformed into a flagship location for Locke.
Integrating Locke’s unique hybrid concept, the sensitive redevelopment will result in 1000sqm of activated social spaces including a winter garden, restaurant and bar under a restored glass atrium, co-working, coffee shop, gym and laundry facilities. 145 studio apartments will be spread over seven storeys, housed in a new building to the rear of the site.
The site has been purchased with planning permission and the development is expected to start October 2022 with a targeted opening date in the second half of 2024.
