Australia based TFE Hotels has made its long-awaited UK debut with the first of two landmark Adina properties: The Hobson Cambridge by Adina and The Wellington Glasgow by Adina.
These hotels mark the first step in TFE’s expansion into the UK market, building on its presence across continental Europe and Asia.
Launched on 24 November, The Hobson Cambridge is a 56-key studio-style hotel set within the Grade II listed Hobson House on St Andrew’s Street.
It was once the stables of 17th-century businessman Thomas Hobson – whose name inspired the phrase “Hobson’s Choice” – and later home to Cambridge’s police and fire station.
The Hobson Cambridge offers guests modern kitchenettes and open-plan living spaces designed for both short and extended stays.
The hotel also features a private meeting room and Oz & Isle restaurant – a nod to TFE’s Australian roots.
TFE will also unveil The Wellington on 8 December 2025, transforming Glasgow’s historic Wellington House into a design-led aparthotel.
This 98-key property introduces Adina’s casual living hotels to Scotland, offering Studio Rooms, Studio Premier Rooms, and Studio Premier Rooms with sofa beds.
Each features open-plan living areas and kitchenettes.
Guests will enjoy access to a gym and a flexible meeting space, while the lobby shop and café bar provide grab-and-go breakfast options and drinks.
CEO Antony Ritch said: “These two properties align beautifully with our vision of operating flexible, design-led studio-hotel experiences in vibrant, globally connected cities and also lay the foundation for future growth in the UK market.”
