About Go Native

At Go Native, we love giving our guests a place they can call home – whether they stay in our apartments for a day or a year.

We’ve been around since 1997 and we’ve been changing and evolving ever since. We’ve come from the world of serviced apartments and we’re inventing our own future – offering guests anything from a one-night stay in our ApartHotels to residential tenancies that might just last a lifetime.

When we say we create homes – we mean it. We’re as far from cardboard-cut-out hotels as you can imagine. We take time to craft spaces that reflect the history of the building and the spirit of the neighbourhood. We lovingly curate the interiors of our buildings so our guests know Native when they see it and feel it. And we take time to integrate ourselves within the neighbourhood. We don’t just know the locals, we become one.

It’s a complex business with daily surprises so you’ll need to enjoy the fact that our world can change as quickly as the English weather. We do everything from building profitable partnerships with travel agencies, hunting for gorgeous new properties to invest in and maintaining the highest standards of safety.

All of this means we know everything there is to know about giving Go Native guests a memorable experience.
