Why Serviced Apartments are Better than Hotels

Singapore: Pioneer in Popularizing Serviced Apartments

Singapore has been instrumental in popularizing serviced apartments, offering a blend of Asian hospitality, high cleanliness standards, flexible lease terms, and excellent value compared to traditional hotel stays. This accommodation choice is favored by expat families and long-stay tourists, including medical tourists and interns.

Home-Away-From-Home Comfort

Serviced apartments, also known as serviced residences, provide a home-like environment with well-defined, fully furnished living rooms, dining areas, kitchens equipped with crockery and cutlery, bedrooms, and bathrooms stocked with plush towels and bathrobes. Guests can move in with just their luggage, immediately feeling settled. This convenience is particularly beneficial for expat families focusing on work, securing permanent housing, or enrolling children in international schools.

Variety of Apartment Options

A range of apartment configurations is available, including 1-bedroom, 2-bedroom, and 3-bedroom units. The 2-bedroom serviced apartment is especially versatile, accommodating extra guests or providing additional workspace. Some residences offer customization of the second bedroom into a study, guest room, or playroom for children.

Aurealis Serviced Residence: Exemplifying Excellence

Aurealis Serviced Residence stands out as a premier example of luxury serviced apartments in Singapore. Located in the heart of Marina Bay Financial District, it offers stunning waterfront views and is adjacent to key business hubs like Marina Bay Financial Centre and One Raffles Quay. The residence is integrated with Marina Bay Link Mall and connected to three MRT train stations—Downtown (blue line), Raffles Place (red and green lines), and Shenton Way (brown line)—providing unparalleled convenience for residents. Guests have praised the exceptional service and facilities, with one reviewer noting, “Service is excellent. They are on top of every detail and a delight to work with.”aurealisgroup.com

Flexibility and Financial Benefits

Serviced residences in Singapore offer flexible lease terms, accommodating unpredictable job contracts. Many also waive security deposits, freeing up cash flow for residents. For longer durations, serviced apartments often prove more economical. They typically offer lower nightly rates and allow guests to save by preparing their own meals, reducing dining expenses. 

Prime Locations in Singapore

Many serviced apartments are strategically located in convenient areas such as the Central Business District (CBD), including Marina Bay, Raffles Place, and the Robinson area. This proximity allows residents to avoid morning traffic by walking to nearby offices.

Comprehensive Facilities

Serviced apartments in Singapore often come with a wide range of facilities, such as gyms, swimming pools, and spas. Some offer these amenities as complimentary perks, while others may charge for their use.

Privacy and Security

Serviced apartments offer varying levels of privacy and security, including keycard-controlled access to buildings and specific floors, ensuring optimal privacy and enjoyment for residents.

Proximity to Amenities

An important factor to consider is the proximity to daily amenities, such as dining options, grocery stores, and recreational facilities. Many serviced residences are conveniently located near these amenities, enhancing the overall living experience.

Conclusion: A Luxurious and Valuable Experience

For large families, single professionals, migrating expat families, or long-stay tourists, serviced apartments in Singapore offer a blend of luxury and unparalleled value, providing a comfortable and convenient living experience for both short-term and extended stays.
