Choice Hotels Europe has announced the opening of Quality Hotel Maitrise in Maida Vale, London.

The Georgian building offers guest 50 bedrooms, Rafkins restaurant and a bar serving Asian fusion cuisine, as well as live music at weekends, while up to 70 delegates can access the hotel's meeting facilities.

Guests staying at one of the 11 bedrooms on the executive floor also benefit from complimentary use of the facilities at the nearby Bannatyne's Health Club.

CEO Duncan Berry said: "We are delighted to see the Quality Hotel Maitrise open, our 17th property in the capital and a showcase for our enhanced brand standards. We believe this hotel offers outstanding service and facilities to both leisure and business travellers."

Raja Adil, owner of the hotel, added: "I believe our new hotel will attract both business and leisure travellers looking for a combination of modern design, stylish facilities and an ideal location for both central London and major transport links. We are offering five-star facilities at three-star prices."

This development brings the number of Choice-branded hotels in the UK to 47.
