The Ascott Limited (Ascott), the world’s leading serviced residence owner-operator, continues its global expansion with the opening of its first serviced apartment in Turkey, the Somerset Maslak Istanbul.
The new serviced residence is an integral part of the new Maslak 1453, the largest lifestyle development complex in Europe spanning more than two million square metres.
The 165-unit property is ideally located in the city’s major commercial hub, which houses many multinational corporations, such as Ericsson, Cisco and Ford as well as major educational institutions, including Nisantasi University and the historic Istanbul Technical University.
Ideal for travellers who are on business trip or holiday with their family, Somerset Maslak Istanbul provides flexibility for both short and long-stay requirements. Visitors can explore this vibrant city and return at the end of the day to the comfort of this modern serviced apartment, with facilities that offer a balanced lifestyle, including breakfast room, gymnasium, residents’ lounge, swimming pool and children’s playroom.
“We are excited to open Ascott’s first serviced residence in one of the world’s most vibrant and dynamic cities, Istanbul. Visitors can now experience Ascott’s signature hospitality service that has already become a hallmark of our properties in more than 120 cities across 31 countries. For centuries, Istanbul has been a city where many cultures meet and we look forward to welcoming travellers from around the globe,” says Vincent Miccolis, Ascott’s Country General Manager, Middle East & Turkey.
Residents can select from studios up to four-bedroom apartments, each of which is tastefully designed for a ‘home away from home’ feel. All units are configured with a fully-equipped kitchen as well as separate living and dining areas. The property features a 24-hour reception, daily housekeeping service, WiFi, valet parking, babysitting services, as well as round-the-clock security with electronic key card access.
“Located within the Maslak district in Istanbul, Somerset Maslak Istanbul is at the heart of a cosmopolitan hub that is a major centre for business and containing many of Istanbul’s most appealing landmarks, so we expect to attract a varied mix of leisure and business travellers,” continues Miccolis. “Somerset Maslak Istanbul will provide a unique combination of quality product, excellent service and unparalled convenience, offering luxury serviced apartments with world class hotel-style services and amenities.”
