Ascott led the way for the serviced residence product 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. It currently has 25,000 units in 66 cities in over 22 countries. Chong Kee Hiong, CEO of Ascott Real Estate, the real estate arm of The Ascott Group Limited, said: “Over the 25 years, Ascott has set industry benchmark with the launch of several firsts. Besides pioneering the serviced residence concept, Ascott launched the world’s first pan-Asian serviced residence real estate investment trust,
Ascott Residence Trust, in 2006.
"We are the largest international serviced residence operator in most countries where we operate, including China, Korea, Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, the Philippines and France. We will continue to expand our presence to more cities to further strengthen Ascott’s leadership position.”
Ascott has 189 properties in Asia-Pacific, Europe and the Gulf region. Citadines, an established hospitality brand in Europe, which Ascott acquired in 2004, started operations in France in 1984.
