The concept of a furnished apartment with cleaning services is nothing new, but over the past decade or so the serviced apartment with its superior features and lower costs have become increasingly more luxurious and sophisticated, particularly in Asia.

The serviced apartment is definitely catching on as there are a wide range of luxury serviced apartments in Asia at discounted prices. You can easily browse the internet to compare room rates for a selection of the best locations.

Serviced Apartments are designed for short-, medium- and long-term stay residents, for the individual or family that want high quality of living, with the choice of rooms ranging from studio up to large 3-bedroom deluxe apartments.

Serviced Apartments are ideal for people who enjoy catering for themselves and having their own space.

Particularly in Bangkok, there is high proportion of expatriate personnel and the population is very transient. The demographics of this lends itself well to serviced apartments. Staying in a serviced apartment gives you total freedom to work, entertain, cook, sleep and relax as you would in your own home, without the feeling of being in a hotel room.

Choosing a serviced apartment allows you to easily choose a suitable location, in the heart of the major cities of Asia, with a broad range of services, such as broadband internet, fully-equipped kitchens, private parking, international cable and plasma screen televisions, maid service and room service, daily cleaning and linen services, international cuisine, a large pool, health club and lounge and much more, all within a relaxing and elegant environment.

One fine example is the The Ascott, a five-star serviced apartment in Sathorn, Bangkok’s central business district. Here they offer luxurious and spacious private apartments complemented with comprehensive services and facilities. This residence is Bangkok’s leading luxury serviced residence and is ideal for corporate housing with the convenience of being located in the capital’s business and commercial district.

In summary, demand for luxurious living is improving every year and is predicted to reach even higher growth in the years to come.
