Bangkok – CapitaLand’s wholly-owned serviced residence unit, Ascott, celebrates 25 successful years as the top international serviced residence owner-operator. Ascott pioneered the serviced residence concept with its first international-class property, The Ascott Singapore, on Scotts Road in Singapore in 1984. Over 25 years, Ascott has, through its three brands Ascott, Somerset and Citadines, grown to be the world’s largest owner-operator in the business, with 25,000 units in 66 cities over 22 countries. Ascott has 189 properties in Asia Pacific, Europe and the Gulf region.
Citadines, an established hospitality brand in Europe, also has a 25 year history having started operations in France in 1984. Ascott acquired Citadines in 2004 and has since extended the brand to the Asia Pacific.
To commemorate its 25th year milestone, Ascott has designed specific activities to celebrate with its customers.
