Spaciousness, privacy and sheer comfort – these qualities set serviced apartments apart from the other accommodations you can find in a city, such as hotels, hostels, and Airbnb vacation rentals. While they are primarily occupied by professionals or business executives on work assignments, tourists – especially those travelling with families – are increasingly fond of the amenities and services that top serviced apartments provide. There are plenty of such upscale serviced apartments in Singapore, and leading the way is The Ascott Limited (Ascott), a premier owner-operator with over 30 years of stellar industry track record. Here are 12 amenities that you can enjoy among six of its properties (Ascott Orchard, Ascott Raffles Place, Citadines Fusionopolis, Citadines Mount Sophia, Somerset Bencoolen and Somerset Liang Court) in Singapore.
1. Enjoy socializing among residents with unique programmes and activities
If you are looking for a place to live rather than just to sleep, opt for a serviced apartment instead of a hotel as it offers residents plenty of opportunities to mingle and foster relationships with fellow expatriates and long-stay residents. For instance, Ascott Orchard features stylish lounges for cozy dinner get-togethers with your family, friends, and associates, not to mention that a range of festive celebrations, cultural workshops, and local tours are regularly organized for residents to immerse themselves in the local culture.
2. Handle your business matters with peace of mind
Professionals and executives on business assignments can expect top-of-the-line business center services and strong WiFi connectivity when they choose to stay in serviced apartments, as most of them come with meeting rooms, audiovisual equipment, as well as teleconferencing and courier services. Ascott Raffles Place is a fine example as it provides additional services like these that allow its residents to have a peace of mind when it comes to business matters.

One of the biggest advantages of staying in a serviced apartment during your business trip is that it affords you a feeling of being at home during your time away, since it usually comes furnished with a variety of home comforts such as a fully-equipped kitchenette. Whether you are looking for a quick and convenient meal, or planning to host a culinary gathering, these kitchenettes have all the right utensils for you to cook up a storm.
4. Enjoy the convenience of free shuttle services to key business districts
