Singapore-based Ascott’s first residential property in Macau will be officially inaugurated next Monday, making it one of a list of seven that the company plans to open across China in the next 18 to 24 months.
Known to be the world’s largest international serviced residence owner-operator, the company currently operates over 26,000 serviced residential units across the globe.
Ascott’s properties can be found in cities including London, Paris, Brussels, Berlin and Barcelona in Europe; Singapore, Bangkok, Hanoi, Kuala Lumpur, Tokyo, Seoul, Shanghai, Beijing and Hong Kong in Asia; Melbourne and Perth in Australia; Bangalore and Chennai in India; as well as Dubai, Doha and Manama in the Gulf region.
The Ascott Macau, located in the center of the city’s business district (NAPE area), will present 110 serviced apartment rooms, ranging from 30sq m to 75sq m. According to information provided by Ascott, the kitchens in each unit will be equipped with a coffee machine, electric kettle, cutlery, microwave oven and refrigerator among other amenities.
As for the common areas, there will be a gym, indoor heated and outdoor swimming pools, Jacuzzi, sauna room, residents’ lounge, and three restaurants serving Japanese, Chinese and Western cuisines.
Another of the services provided by the company will be a scheduled shuttle bus to the Macau Ferry Terminal, and resident programs for guests.
Aiming at mostly business travelers, Ascott’s concept is based on “homes away from home”, allowing both short and long stays but essentially focusing its services and conveniences to fit the needs of frequent travellers.  RM
