THE Ascott will open the first Citadines Apart’hotel in Hangzhou in late 2014, hot on the heels of new contracts announced for Hefei, Chongqing and Xiamen (TTG Asia e-Daily, August 15, 2013).
To debut as Citadines Intime City Hangzhou, the 100-unit property is situated in West Hangzhou, close to three major central business districts in the city and part of the mixed-use development Intime City.
Kevin Goh, managing director for North Asia, The Ascott, said: “Citadines Apart’hotel, which provides independent travellers with flexible services to suit their lifestyle needs, has been enjoying very healthy occupancy since we launched it in China in 2006.
“With a fast-growing demand for serviced residences in Hangzhou, we are confident that Citadines Intime City Hangzhou will perform well. As the capital city of Zhejiang Province, Hangzhou’s economy and foreign direct investment have grown respectively by an average of more than 10 per cent and 12 per cent annually in the last five years.”
Citadines Intime City Hangzhou will offer residents a range of studio to two-bedroom apartments with a fully equipped kitchen and separate working and sleeping areas.
Other facilities include a business centre, meeting room, laundry room, gym, sauna, as well as breakfast and residents’ lounges.
