Ascott Opens Serviced Residence in Seoul

Ascott has opened Citadines Han River Seoul, its first Citadines-branded property in Korea’s capital. Situated in Yeongdeungpo-gu District, close to the Yeouido and Gangnam financial districts, the 149-unit serviced residence is the perfect accommodation from which to experience the vibrant city life, with easy access to major business complexes, entertainment venues and shopping centres.

“Citadines Han River Seoul is our second Citadines-branded serviced residence in South Korea, catering to the growing number of independent travellers who prefer the flexibility to choose the services according to their lifestyles,” says Max Phillips, Ascott’s country general manager for Korea. “Since Ascott’s acquisition of the Citadines Apart’hotel chain in 2004, Citadines has become one of our fastest growing brands and its portfolio has more than tripled from the initial 5,100 units to almost 16,000 units in 64 cities across Asia Pacific, Europe and the Middle East.”

Conveniently located near Seonyudo metro station, Citadines Han River is well connected to downtown and suburbs through the Olympicdaero, Gangbyeonbuk-ro and Gyeongin highways. Guests can choose from studio apartments of three sizes: Studio, Studio Deluxe and Studio Executive. All apartments are tastefully furnished with stylish interiors, comfortable living areas, bedrooms and fully-equipped kitchens. Citadines Han River Seoul also has a fitness corner, a meeting room, and a rooftop garden for guests to unwind. www2.citadines.com
