Ascott opens third Citadines serviced residence in Xi’an

The new 138-unit Citadines Xingqing Palace Xi’an is part of Ascott’s plan to expand its China portfolio to 12,000 units by 2015.

Ascott, CapitaLand’s wholly-owned serviced residence business unit, currently also operates Citadines Central Xi’an (162 units) and Citadines Gaoxin Xi’an (251 units) while Somerset Gaoxin Xi’an (233 units) is expected to open in 2013. In China, Ascott has about 7,000 apartment units in 38 properties across 16 cities.

“The opening of our third Citadines in Xi’an will enable us to cater to the strong demand for accommodation from business and leisure travellers. Moving forward, high growth cities such as Xi’an will remain an important market for Ascott as we seek to expand our China portfolio to 12,000 units by 2015,” said Mr Lee Chee Koon, Ascott’s Managing Director for North Asia.

Citadines Xingqing Palace Xi’an is a five-minute walk to the historic Xingqing Palace Park and is also close to many shopping and entertainment outlets such as the Jiaoda Computer Mall, Hongye Cinema, and Lifeng International Shopping Square.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
