Significant events
- “A robust trading period for the company, despite increased competition and room stock in the London marketplace, sees a continued increase in demand, albeit at a marginally reduced average rate. This has resulted in a 1% year on year increase in revenues.”
- “Apex Hotel Ltd's opted to refinance with Barclays Bank plc in July 2023, securing facilities for a five-year term comprising of a term loan of £47.9m and a £10m Revolving Credit Facility. All previous Royal Bank of Scotland facilities were repaid in full.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
