Celebrating our growth by giving back to the places we call home.
Reaching 40 stayAPT Suites locations is an exciting milestone, one we’re honoring through our 40 Acts of Kindness initiative. At every hotel, our team is carrying out one meaningful act that directly supports the local community, from fueling first responders with free meals to equipping classrooms with school supplies to caring for pets in need through contributions to local Humane Societies. Each gesture is our way of saying thank you to the neighbors and partners who have welcomed us. Follow our journey and see how 40 hotels are making 40 positive impacts, one community at a time.
