Ascott will open its second Citadines property
in Japan on 8 March 2010. The new Citadines Kyoto Karasuma-Gojo
follows the successful opening of Ascott’s first Citadines
serviced residence in Japan, Citadines Tokyo Shinjuku, in March
2009.
Citadines
Kyoto Karasuma-Gojo enjoys a prime location in Gojo. It is a
short walk from the city’s business district and tourist belt
where many shopping malls, supermarkets, restaurants and
entertainment facilities can be found. Furthermore, renowned
UNESCO World Heritage sites such as the Kiyomizu Temple and
Toji Temple are both less than a 10-minute drive away.
With
the Gojo subway station located outside the serviced residence,
travellers can also enjoy convenient access to other destinations and places of interest in the city. Kyoto’s
popular downtown shopping area, Shijo Street, and the Kyoto
Shinkansen bullet train station, for instance, are just one
stop away on the subway. Shijo Street is home to a wide range
of retail outlets from shops selling traditional craft to
boutiques carrying designer fashion. Besides connecting Kyoto to
other cities in the country, the Kyoto Shinkansen bullet train
station is also part of an integrated development comprising a
movie theatre and shopping mall featuring department store
Isetan and electronic superstore Bic Camera.
The 124-unit
Citadines Kyoto Karasuma-Gojo offers stylish studios and
one-bedroom apartments that come with contemporary décor, modern
fittings, a fully-equipped kitchen, home entertainment system and
broadband internet access. Travellers may opt for a range of services including courier delivery, laundry, dry cleaning, and
babysitting according to their lifestyle needs. They can also
discover Kyoto through the property’s residents’ programmes.
To
celebrate the opening of Citadines Kyoto Karasuma-Gojo and as part
of CapitaLand’s 10th Anniversary celebrations, Ascott is
offering promotional rates starting from JPY 10,000 ++ per
night for a studio.
Mr Lee Chee Koon, Ascott’s Managing Director for
North Asia, said, “Our first Citadines property in Japan has
been achieving strong average occupancy of around 80%. It has
also received many positive reviews from customers. Hence,
we’re expanding our Citadines brand to another key city in
Japan. The opening of Citadines Kyoto Karasuma-Gojo will enable
us to cater to the strong demand for quality accommodation in
Kyoto which is a popular tourist destination and an attractive
venue for international conventions. With this new property, Ascott’s portfolio in Japan will increase to over 3,800
apartment units in 53 properties across 10 cities including
Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, Nagoya, Kobe and Hiroshima.”
