Stirling’s Boutique Apart Hotel
Q: How do the other on-site businesses support the Apart Hotel concept?

Stirling’s Boutique Apart Hotel
Q: What prompted you to locate in King Street and how has the concept performed so far?

Stirling’s Boutique Apart Hotel
Q: What is an apart hotel and how does it differ from a traditional hotel?
An apart hotel sits between serviced apartments and a full-service hotel, offering kitchenette-equipped suites without in-house bars or restaurants, but with the ability to arrange meals via local partners; it provides a boutique, more self-contained stay in a city-center setting.
