The Ascott Limited’s (Ascott) premier Ascott Sathorn Bangkok has received top honours at the coveted 2011 Business Traveller Asia-Pacific Awards. This is the third time that the property has been named ‘Best Serviced Residence in Asia-Pacific’.

Ascott Sathorn Bangkok was also the most preferred serviced residence in 2008 and 2009. Ascott’s two other serviced residences – Ascott Raffles Place Singapore and Somerset Lake Point Bangkok – took second and third place respectively in this year’s awards.

Besides the ‘Best Serviced Residence’ award, Ascott has also clinched ‘Best Serviced Residence Brand’ for the eighth consecutive year in the 2011 Business Traveller Asia-Pacific Awards.

The awards reflect the highest accolade which discerning readers of Business Traveller bestow on travel and hospitality providers. They are based on the results from the yearly Readers’ Poll conducted and interpreted by market research leader Synovate.

Mr Mark Chan, Ascott’s Country General Manager for Thailand, said: “We are extremely happy and honored that Ascott Sathorn Bangkok has won this award for the third time and Ascott’s properties had taken the top three spots in the ‘Best Serviced Residence’ category. At Ascott, we create memorable experiences for travellers through our unique LIFE approach to service excellence – providing a Local touch; respecting our guest’s Individuality; providing the Feeling of home; and Exceeding expectations. We would like to thank our customers for making Ascott their preferred home when they travel. The awards have reinforced our leadership position in the industry and we will continue to innovate and create more value for our customers.”

Ascott Sathorn Bangkok enjoys a prime location in the heart of Bangkok’s business district. It is close to major business centres and tourist attractions such as the Empire Tower, Bangkok City Tower and Royal Sports Club, and is a short walk to the Chong Nonsi sky train station. The serviced residence lavishes guests with luxurious interiors and comprehensive amenities which include function and conference facilities, business centre services, meeting rooms, a spa, and one of the city’s finest gymnasiums.

Situated in Singapore’s bustling central business district, Ascott Raffles Place Singapore is surrounded by financial institutions, offices of multinational corporations, fine restaurants and attractions. Through a S$60 million restoration effort, Ascott had transformed the former Asia Insurance Building, which was Southeast Asia’s tallest tower in the 1950s, into the exclusive Ascott Raffles Place Singapore. Today, travellers can look forward to a unique experience at the luxurious serviced residence combining modern comforts and the features of a heritage icon.

For the ultimate sun-drenched relaxing holiday, the 1,190 stunning atolls and islands that make up the Maldives are ideal for couples and families. And guests at Vilu Reef Beach & Spa Resort can now enjoy the ultimate in luxury and privacy with a selection of new accommodation; the water villas with pools.

Now available to book, the six new water villas with pools bring a new category of accommodation to the 122-room resort. Situated on stilts over the water, each villa boasts panoramic ocean views and direct access to the lagoon via a private stairway where guests can get up close to a whole host of multi-coloured friendly fish without venturing far. For added relaxation, the water villas with pools boast a large balcony with an extended sun deck, infinity plunge pool, chaise lounges for private sunbathing and a large hammock suspended over the lagoon for those long lazy days in the sunshine.

The interior comprises a large bedroom with a choice of a four-poster or double bed, a day bed which can accommodate an additional third person, a dressing area and bathroom with a large roll-top bath, double sinks and separate shower.

Reached by a 35-minute seaplane transfer from Malé, Vilu Reef is a small island retreat, known locally as ‘the Garden of Eden’ because of its lush tropical vegetation which offers plenty of dappled shade, perfect for young and old alike who need respite from the sun.

The island has so much to offer to guests, but its greatest assets are something that no other resort can boast because it’s natural: one side of the island is a protected lagoon and the other side is a beautiful reef ideal for snorkelling and diving. With picture-perfect pristine beaches lining the azure waters. Adding to the island’s natural feel, all the buildings have authentic thatched roofs and guests can even sink their toes in the sand whilst sipping a cocktail in the main bar, as floorboards are redundant on this island paradise.

In addition to excellent watersports, facilities at Vilu Reef also include an infinity pool, PADI five-star dive facility, Sun Spa, table tennis, volleyball court and a selection of restaurants and bars.
