Ascott added over 14,200 units globally in 2020

These will boost Ascott’s annual fee income by over $27m.

CapitaLand’s wholly owned lodging business unit The Ascott Limited (Ascott) has added a record of over 14,200 units across 71 properties globally for 2020 despite COVID-19, marking a fourth consecutive year of record growth for the group.

The new properties secured will boost Ascott’s annual fee income by over $27m as they progressively open and stabilise.

Since October 2020, Ascott has added more than 4,900 units across 23 properties, which include over 3,800 units across 17 properties in China. It has also sealed contracts for over 1,000 new units across six properties.

“Whilst we were not spared the short-term operational impact of COVID-19, we believe that the fundamental demand for lodging remains intact and will bounce back quickly once the global pandemic is brought under control. In the meantime, we continue to seek new opportunities amid the crisis,” Ascott CEO Kevin Goh said.

Goh added that over 15,000 units across 70 properties are slated to open in Asia Pacific in 2021.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
