Selina is launching in the UK, opening four new locations in Liverpool, Birmingham and Manchester, after partnering with property investors to buy the Hatters portfolio of hostels. The company now has 46 venues in 13 countries offering a combination of accommodation, co-working and a range of activities targeting digital nomads. It plans to open 31 properties in 2019 and 2020 across the globe after the closing of a $100m series C funding round. Selina’s unique real estate and design model sees it sustainably refurbish existing properties in interesting and emerging locations, in partnership with local artists and designers. “People are looking for more flexible ways to live their lives – whether it’s on an island, or at home in London, or even just around town,” said CEO David O’Leary.
