Bloc to Open Second "Boutique Budget" Hotel at London Gatwick Airport
"Luxury on a budget" is what Bloc Hotels was striving for when it opened its first ever hotel in the city of Birmingham last year. The 73-guestroom establishment offers all the commodities one would expect from, at least, an upper-midscale hotel: powerful drench showers, king-size beds, high-speed Wi-Fi, luxury bed linen, sound insulation, high-definition flat screen televisions, and Nespresso coffee from self-serve machines. Only one thing is unexpected: rates start from £48 per night.
