Small is beautiful and this concept is starting to takeoff in Hong Kong thanks to the rise of intimate boutique serviced apartments in recent years. Discerning business travellers and tenants today prefer a more private place to stay.
They are looking for something different from the larger, mainstream serviced apartment.
Typically boutique serviced apartments are furnished in a themed, trendy, cosy and contemporary manner with a small number of units.
These are usually operated by individuals or small-sized companies, and located in prime and convenient districts.
Many of these serviced flats are converted from commercial buildings or purpose-built.
Given their relatively small scale, there are no on-site recreational or clubhouse facilities, but most offer membership to nearby fitness clubs and gyms.
