Serviced residence operator Ascott has secured a contract to manage its third property in Chengdu.
The new Ascott Raffles City Chengdu will open in 2013, forming part of the Raffles City Chengdu integrated development, which will also include high-end office space, luxury apartments and a shopping mall. The property will also be connected to a metro interchange.
“Ascott Raffles City Chengdu is our third serviced residence within CapitaLand’s signature Raffles City brand of integrated developments. We launched Ascott Raffles City Beijing in 2009 and Ascott Raffles City Hangzhou is scheduled to open in 2015. When Ascott Raffles City Chengdu opens next year, it will offer our guests another first class experience with a world of conveniences like shopping and dining right at their doorstep,” said Lee Chee Koon, Ascott’s Deputy Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director for North Asia.
The new Chengdu property will offer 296 studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments, as well as an indoor swimming pool, sauna, spa, gymnasium, reading lounge, restaurants and children’s play area. Business travellers can also make use of the serviced residence’s business centre and meeting rooms.
Ascott currently operates the Somerset Riverview Chengdu, and expects to open the Ascott Financial City Chengdu in 2014.
