Nestor Wins Four Major Industry Awards at the Shortyz and Serviced Apartment Awards 2026
Celebrating a Decade of Design-Led Hospitality and Award-Winning London Accommodation
Founded in 2015, Nestor has spent the past decade redefining hospitality through thoughtfully designed spaces, exceptional guest experiences, and seamless operations. As a London-based property management company, we specialise in creating distinctive places to stay that combine the comfort of home with the standards of premium hospitality.
Today, our growing portfolio includes luxury residences, professionally managed apartments, and unique accommodation across some of London’s most desirable neighbourhoods. Whether guests are visiting for business, relocation, leisure, or extended stays, every Nestor property is designed around one simple philosophy: exceptional design should be matched by exceptional service.
In 2026, that commitment was recognised with four prestigious industry awards that celebrate both our operational excellence and our passion for outstanding interiors.
Best Urban Property Management Company – Shortyz Awards 2026
We are incredibly proud to have been named Best Urban Property Management Company at the Shortyz Awards 2026, one of the industry’s most respected recognitions for innovation and excellence in hospitality.
This award reflects more than operational success. It recognises our commitment to delivering memorable guest experiences through technology, personalised service, thoughtful design, and carefully selected locations across London.
As a leading property management company, our focus extends beyond managing buildings—we create environments where guests genuinely enjoy living, whether they’re staying for a weekend, a business project, or several months.
Claridge House by SLO Wins Best Interior Design at the Shortyz Awards
One of our proudest achievements this year was seeing Claridge House by SLO awarded Best Interior Design at the Shortyz Awards.
Located in the heart of Mayfair, Claridge House represents a new benchmark for luxury apartments in London. Every residence has been meticulously designed to combine timeless architecture with contemporary elegance, featuring bespoke furnishings, premium finishes, carefully curated artwork, and a sophisticated residential atmosphere.
The project reflects our belief that outstanding design-led hospitality begins with spaces that inspire calm, comfort, and connection. Every detail was considered not simply to impress visually but to enhance the everyday experience of living in the city.
A Double Victory: Best Interior Design at the Serviced Apartment Awards 2026
The recognition for Claridge House continued at the Serviced Apartment Awards 2026, where it once again received the Best Interior Design award.
Winning both major industry design awards in the same year is an extraordinary achievement and reinforces Claridge House’s position as one of London’s most distinctive luxury residences.
For travellers seeking premium London accommodation, Claridge House demonstrates how thoughtful architecture, intelligent layouts, and refined interiors can completely transform the guest experience.
The Carlyle by Nestor Named Best Property (1–20 Units)
Another significant milestone came with The Carlyle by Nestor being named Best Property (1–20 Units) at the Serviced Apartment Awards 2026.
The Carlyle has been under Nestor’s management for more than a decade, becoming one of the defining properties within our portfolio and consistently delivering exceptional guest satisfaction.
Situated in Kensington, the property offers spacious luxury apartments that combine elegant interiors with practical living, making them ideal for families, professionals, and international visitors looking for premium corporate accommodation or longer stays in London.
Receiving the Best Property award recognises years of continuous investment, meticulous management, and an unwavering commitment to quality. It is a testament not only to beautiful interiors but also to operational excellence and the consistent delivery of outstanding hospitality.
Redefining Luxury Apartments in London
The way people travel has evolved dramatically. Today’s guests increasingly seek accommodation that offers more flexibility, privacy, and authenticity than a traditional hotel while maintaining exceptional standards of service.
At Nestor, we believe the future lies in creating spaces that combine:
- Beautiful, timeless interiors
- Prime London locations
- Hotel-quality service with residential comfort
- Flexible solutions for extended stays
- Exceptional corporate accommodation for business travellers
- Seamless technology and personalised support
Our approach to design-led hospitality ensures that every property feels unique while maintaining the consistency and reliability that guests expect from a trusted operator.
More Than Serviced Apartments
While many people associate us with serviced apartments, our portfolio extends far beyond a single accommodation type.
From luxury residences in Mayfair to spacious family apartments in Kensington and carefully managed city properties across London, we create places where guests can genuinely feel at home.
Whether someone is relocating, travelling for work, enjoying a city break, or staying for several months, our goal is always the same: to provide outstanding London accommodation that combines thoughtful design with effortless living.
Building a Portfolio That Puts Guests First
From the refined elegance of Claridge House to the award-winning apartments at The Carlyle and our expanding portfolio of professionally managed properties across the capital, every Nestor destination reflects our belief that travel should feel personal rather than transactional.
By combining exceptional interiors with attentive service and innovative operations, we’ve built a reputation for creating memorable experiences that go beyond simply providing a place to sleep.
Our continued investment in quality, technology, and guest wellbeing has helped establish Nestor as one of London’s most trusted names in professionally managed accommodation.
Looking Ahead
Winning Best Urban Property Management Company, securing two Best Interior Design awards for Claridge House, and seeing The Carlyle recognised as Best Property (1–20 Units) represents an incredible milestone for our entire team.
However, these awards are not the destination—they are a reflection of the standards we strive to uphold every day.
As Nestor continues to grow, our mission remains unchanged: to redefine London accommodation through exceptional design-led hospitality, outstanding service, and beautifully managed properties that inspire guests to return again and again.
Whether you’re looking for luxury apartments in London, premium corporate accommodation, or a home for extended stays, our commitment is simple: to create places where remarkable design and genuine hospitality come together to deliver unforgettable experiences.
