Cove expands in Europe with new properties in the Netherlands

With the changing work-life balance, Cove has emerged in response to the need for a different kind of accommodation and a new way of being.

With locations across key cities in the UK including Liverpool, Nottingham, Manchester and Cardiff,  openings in the Netherlands will follow its November 2021 opening of Cove – Landmark Pinnacle, the brands flagship location in London’s highly sought-after Landmark Pinnacle development in Canary Wharf.

“We are thrilled to announce Cove’s expansion into mainland Europe so soon after its launch in 2021,” said Stephen McCall, CEO, edyn. “The opening of ‘Cove – Centrum’ and ‘Wittenberg by Cove’ conversion is a great milestone in our journey that signals both our intent on the continent as well as further investment in our belief that guests are increasingly looking for flexible, thoughtfully designed accommodation – regardless of whether they’re travelling for work or leisure.”
