Serviced apartments offer all the same conveniences as a hotel – housekeeping, room service, recreational facilities and restaurants – without the whole tourist “experience”, with service that is in fact more in tune to business travelers’ needs.

Not only can the locations of serviced apartments match 5-star hotels, sometimes they are actually more convenient – away from touristy hot spots and closer to the CBD. Especially in business hubs like Singapore, Bangkok and Sydney, serviced apartments are an ever more appealing choice for the professional jet set and even their families.

Take Anantara Baan Rajprasong Serviced Suites, Bangkok. While conveniently off the beaten tourist path, all the best restaurants, nightlife and shopping are still within minutes by the BTS skytrain. With a swimming pool, gym, Jacuzzi, steam and sauna, Anantara Baan Rajprasong can already match luxury hotels in terms of offerings.

However, it’s the small things that make all the difference – a fully equipped kitchen with a washing machine as well, separate living and dining area boasting contemporary yet warm décor, large workspace with free WiFi and even a guest bathroom.

Guests can feel at home rather than on some grueling business trip. They can also indulge in longer term activities, such as cooking programs, golf lessons in the building’s state-of-the-art Wilding Golf center, and an array of holistic, contouring, anti-ageing and detox programs at Anantara Baan Rajprasong’s lifestyle spa.  Read more...
