Hong Kong - Serviced Apartments Offer Hotel-Style Living |
|
The concept of a furnished apartment with cleaning services is nothing new. Picture a college dormitory room with mismatched chairs and second-hand table lamps - most people's first taste of living on their own. |
But over the past decade, the serviced apartment and the features that come with it have become increasingly more luxurious and sophisticated, particularly in Asia.
"When I go away for extended periods of time, I want a place that doesn't feel like a hotel," said Oscar Llinas, vice president of Bilkey Llinas Design, who recently created some of the interiors for Four Seasons Place in Hong Kong. "Serviced apartments are ideal for people who don't have the time to make a new home. They want a clean house, but don't want to see anyone cleaning it."
Four Seasons Place is a 60-story tower devoted exclusively to serviced apartments. It stands next to the Four Seasons Hotel at the mammoth International Finance Center and was the luxury hotel company's first project to include serviced apartments.
But the Toronto-based company already is planning a similar component at the Kuala Lumpur Four Seasons, scheduled to be completed in 2008.
