Hometels
Hometels, coined by Lamington in 2018, combine the best of hotels, serviced apartments and Airbnb, providing comfort, flexibility, and an authentic experience and service. Hometels are proven to deliver a more resilient alternative to standard hotels with higher levels of guest satisfaction.
Sustainability
In September 2021, Lamington Group launched its detailed roadmap to net zero by 2030, opened the world’s first whole life net zero hometel in Chiswick in December 2021 and is committed to only build to this specification going forwards, leading the way for the global hotel industry.
