Roomzzz Aparthotels was established in 2006 in Leeds. As of February 2021, there are 10 sites across 7 cities with a total of 792 apartments in the United Kingdom.

The concept of an aparthotel has created its own niche in the hospitality sector. Hotels and serviced apartment are well understood by traveling guests, whereas an aparthotel is essentially a hybrid of a hotel and a serviced apartment.

The company accommodates both business and leisure travelers with city centre locations in Newcastle, York, Leeds, Manchester, Chester, Nottingham and London.

Apartment types in order of sizes across the hotels are Neo Studio, Smart Studio, Grande Studio, Dezign Studio, Liberty Suite, and other suites such as the Penthouse.
