It is located in a space that was previously used for retail, breaking the usual development norms for hotels and hostels, and demonstrating the flexibility of the CityHub infrastructure. CityHub signed a long-term lease agreement with NREP, the leading real estate innovator in the Nordics, which is focused on creating long term value through real estate anchored businesses.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>The location in the middle of Vesterbro brings great value to young travelers and a contemporary hotel experience like CityHub.

Each Hub is customizable thanks to mood lighting and music streaming systems that guests can curate through integrated Bluetooth devices. Additionally, guests can easily book their rooms on <u>CityHub\u2019s <\/u>website, which allows flexible bookings (free cancelation 24 hours before arrival) and secure payment methods.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bridging the gap between hotels and hostels, one city at a time <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>CityHub\u2019s digital approach to hospitality is in line with the brand\u2019s mission to optimize travel for the next generation, who expect a secure, inclusive and personalized experience in a central location.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>Young leisure travelers are the category most apt to travel in these uncertain times, either within the frontiers of their own country or internationally, when possible,.<\/em>\u201d states <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/semschuurkes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">CityHub Co-founder Sem Schuurkes<\/a>.
