For Parents & Guardians
Peace of mind, built into every detail
Auba is premium student accommodation in Central London, designed so students don't just live here — they thrive here. Security, wellbeing and career development built in from day one.
More than a place to live.
For parents of international students, choosing student accommodation thousands of miles from home is one of the most important decisions you'll make. You need to know your child is safe, supported, and in a place that actively helps them grow, not just somewhere convenient to sleep.
Auba's three Central London residences — London Holborn, London City and London Strand — are built to exactly that standard. Security, wellbeing support and a career-building events programme aren't offered as extras. They're designed in from day one, because we believe accommodation should be fundamental to student success, not separate from it.
Auba is delivered by Dominus, whose portfolio includes hotels operated with Hilton and Marriott. That hospitality standard, exceptional attention to detail, and a culture of care are what sets Auba apart from other student accommodation. And when you visit, you can stay in these hotels at an exclusive rate. Every Auba resident receives an Auba Key, giving their friends and family discounts on stays at these hotels, so when you visit not only are you close-by, but you also get to experience the same hospitality standard as your child.
Safety & Security
Round-the-clock security, controlled building access, and CCTV throughout. Every Auba residence is managed by a dedicated on-site team trained to respond.
Wellbeing Support
A dedicated on-site resident team is there for students through both the practical and personal challenges of living away from home. Mental health resources, wellbeing events, and dedicated spaces to decompress are all designed in as part of the Auba offering.
Designed for real progress
Auba's resident programme, Auba Futures, brings students together through industry talks, workshops, and events so they build connections and confidence alongside their degree, not separately from it.

The people behind Auba
Auba is built on the intention that every student who lives here feels as looked after as any guest in an exceptional hotel. We have perfected that standard across some of London's best performing Hilton and Marriott hotels, and that hospitality DNA runs through every detail of every Auba residence.
Auba was created by Dominus, the family-owned business behind The Derby London City, Curio Collection by Hilton; Lost Property St Paul's, Curio Collection by Hilton; and The Dixon Tower Bridge, Autograph Collection by Marriott. Each has been recognised for what great hospitality means in practice - warm welcomes, exceptional service and experiences that people return for.
Those same foundations now shape student accommodation. Auba gives ambitious students the care, the environment and the opportunities they need to turn their potential into their future. This is what student accommodation should look like. This is Auba.

Our hotels
Three hotels. One Auba Key.
Every Auba resident gets an exclusive 20% discount on hotel stays for you, your friends and your family, as well as 15% discount across all restaurants and bars.
The Derby
The Derby London City, Curio Collection by Hilton is a 234-room hotel located at 5-10 Great Tower Street. The hotel’s name, inspired by the iconic bowler hat known as a “Derby”, pays tribute to a symbol of British style, its location in the Square Mile and the building’s history as a bank.
Lost Property
Located just steps from St Paul’s Cathedral, part of Hilton’s Curio Collection. Built behind the restored 1885 façade, it combines historic architecture with modern comfort. The interiors are inspired by London’s hidden stories, featuring commissioned artwork and illustrations that reflect the city’s heritage.
The Dixon
The Dixon, part of Marriott’s Autograph Collection, is a 193-room hotel created from a Grade II-listed Magistrate’s Court and police station in Tower Hill. The adaptive reuse of the building preserves its historic character while introducing modern hospitality and design.
