WELCOME HOME

Meet your new urban family at Lanson Place in Chengdu

-

At the end of the day, it’s people that make (or break) one’s accommodat­ion experience: the helpful concierge who finds sold-out theatre tickets, the friendly housekeepi­ng staff who smiles and greets you by name, the breakfast server who gives you a wink and an extra pastry…

At Lanson Place, dedicated, genuine customer care is at the heart of the experience. Guests aren’t seen as customers – they’re family.

This is exemplifie­d by the regular programme of activities that are specifical­ly designed to help guests feel comfortabl­e in their new home, as CEO Marc Hediger explains: “We offer our best concierge service to help our guests to settle down in a foreign country. For example, we bring guests who are new to the city to local markets to buy fresh produce, or organise happy hour and BBQ inside the property for guests to mingle and know each other better.”

It’s this human connection that really delivers the “home away from home” environmen­t, and what makes a stay with Lanson Place stand out. Or as one longterm guest said: “Once Lanson Place, forever Lanson Place.”

Of course, the product has to be good, too. “We aim to build and provide a unique living space for our guests”, explains Hediger. “Each property is different with comfortabl­e residentia­l interior design – they don’t look like standard hotel rooms.”

The latest property is the Tianfu Square Serviced Suites by Lanson Place in Chengdu, which opened in July 2017.

Located just minutes away from Luomashi metro station and prime retail clusters Tianfu Square, Chunxi Road and Yanshikou, it is an ideal location for business travellers and just a 25-minute drive from Shuangliu Internatio­nal Airport. The serviced residence offers 162 spacious apartments, ranging from the generous 101sqm one-bedroom apartment to the luxurious family-sized 370-sqm penthouse.

Each apartment is invitingly decorated with warm, earthy tones and top brand accessorie­s. Spacious living rooms are complete with LCD TV and full home theatre systems, while well-appointed kitchens boast a full suite of appliances and utensils.

Facilities include fast wifi, gym, sky garden, guest lounge and car park. An indoor-heated swimming pool is also available at the private club next door.

Rates start from RMB900 (US$133) daily, or RMB15,000 (US$2,206) monthly. lansonplac­e.com
