A selection of top serviced suites

Staying in a serviced suite can be a great option for all kinds of scenarios. For example, many newcomers to Hong Kong choose this kind of accommodat­ion because their work contract stipulates an end-date and they don't want to enter into a lengthy lease. Some people simply prefer to live in a place that's furnished and has all the mod cons at their fingertips, while others may just want to test the waters for a few months in a particular area.

Signature Homes is the leasing arm of Sun Hung Kai Properties, the largest purveyor of luxury residentia­l accommodat­ion in Hong Kong. It has over 1,000 serviced suites across its portfolio, in properties that provide guests with world-class premises in prime locations. Here, we explore some of the company's current offerings.
