The Ascott has further expanded in Europe with the opening of Citadines South Vienna in the Austrian capital.
The aparthotel, which is the brand’s first franchise property in Austria, is located in Vienna’s 10th district, also known as Favoriten. The new property is also close to the Wienerberg City business district - home to global companies including Coca Cola, Microsoft and L'Oreal.
Citadines South Vienna offers 48 units including studios, as well as one- and two-bedroom apartments, some with their own private balconies. They all feature fully equipped kitchens, underfloor heating, air conditioning and flat screen TVs.
The property also includes a lounge with library and snack corner, plus a business area and fitness room.
Ngor Houai Lee, Ascott’s managing director for Europe, said: “The expansion of Ascott into Austria with a franchise partner is an important step to grow both our European and global network of properties.
“We see great potential in this market to serve the increasing demand from tourists and business travellers from Europe and further afield visiting Vienna.”
