KFC is launching its hotel called “The House of Harland,” and it will pop up in London. With this, customers will be able to enjoy not just the restaurant’s famous fried chicken, but they can also opt to stay for a while and have more of KFC’s menu.
According to Fox Business, the KFC-themed hotel in London will be open for a limited time only. Customers can try to live in it from Aug. 18 to Aug. 29, and this is 11 days of blissful stay at the Kentucky Fried Chicken accommodation.
YUM! Brands, the owner of the KFC fast-food chain, revealed early this week that it will set up a temporary hotel, and guests can reserve their tickets for a one-night stay. As mentioned earlier, it is called the “The House of Harland,” and the name was said to have been created based on KFC’s founder, Colonel Harland Sanders.
Booking for KFC’s pop-up hotel can also be done through Hotels.com, and it was posted that a night of stay in one room cost £111 or around $154. It may be a bit pricey, but there are many amenities to enjoy, such as a private movie theater, an arcade machine, and the “Press for Chicken” button.
“From getting personally picked up in a slick Black Cadillac (we’re calling it the Colonelmobile), to being greeted by your very own ‘Chick-In’ Clerk whose sole purpose is to make your stay a pleasure, you can expect to feel like fried chicken royalty from start to finish,” KFC said in a press release. “Once escorted to number 11, indulge in the complimentary botanical infused self-care essentials, or catch one of the chick-flicks playing in the cinema room.”
KFC added that customers could expect to see a lot of drumsticks as they are in the wall and beddings. The towels and the Arcade Machine also have chicken designs, so “fried chicken will never be far from your thoughts.”
Meanwhile, it was mentioned that the profits from the staycation campaign of KFC will all go to the fast-food’s own charity called the KFC Foundation. This is said to fund different grassroots organizations in the U.K.
