Kazakhstan – The Ascott Limited, the leading international lodging owner-operator, is establishing its presence in the Kazakh market with the opening of its highly anticipated Somerset City Centre Atyrau under Ascott’s iconic Somerset brand.
Boasting stylish and spacious Studios, One-, Two-, Three-Bedroom hotel apartments and penthouses with terraces, the 12-storey property welcomes business and leisure travellers to explore a world of exclusivity. With the flexibility and practicality of expansive living spaces, the property effortlessly integrates work and personal life, for a well-balanced lifestyle. Stylish and spacious rooms exude sophistication and comfort; each serviced residence is purposefully designed to inspire holistic living and encapsulates a contemporary architectural design, blended seamlessly with local cultural patterns and colour hues, representing the enriched Kazakh hospitality.
Guests are welcomed to enjoy the broad range of comprehensive amenities that are available to them and which cater to both short- and long-stay travellers. These include a sophisticated meeting room, an aesthetically designed swimming pool, a fully-equipped international standards sized gymnasium, a children’s play area, the rejuvenating Royal Beauty & Spa, Ace of Spades Lounge and the Nomad Banquet Hall. Guests can also indulge in mouth-watering succulent meals, served at the in-house restaurant – Manzara, that offers a flavourful global culinary experience with a touch of local hospitality.
Mr. Vincent Miccolis, Managing Director for The Ascott Limited Middle East, Africa, Turkey and India, says: “Atyrau is a thriving modern city with an influential blend of European and Asian cultures, and is at the heart of rapid development. Building on our worldwide expansion plans, we are proud to establish Ascott’s presence in Kazakhstan with the launch of Somerset City Centre Atyrau, welcoming the global traveller to experience outstanding Kazakh hospitality. Here, guests will be treated to the perfect home-away-from home retreat like no other in one of the country’s major economic hubs.”
Somerset City Centre Atyrau is nestled at the centre of Kazakhstan’s European district – home to the vibrant country’s oil and energy capital. Conveniently located within a short 15-minute drive from the Atyrau International Airport, the purposefully designed property is part of an affluent neighbourhood that is surrounded by an abundance of business and leisure opportunities – the best the city has to offer. Situated on the scenic Makhambet Otemisuly Street, the residence is steps away from prominent international and local business organisations, restaurants, the bustling Satpayey Street, the popular Baizaar Mall and in close proximity to the picturesque Zhayik River that runs across the country.
Between late 2021 and 2022, Ascott has launched four new properties in Dubai, Oman, Nairobi and Atyrau, under its iconic brands ‘Citadines’ and ‘Somerset’. The properties are namely Citadines Culture Village Dubai (UAE) which opened its doors in September 2021; Citadines Al Ghubrah Muscat (Oman), the brand’s stellar property in the Sultanate Oman, the recently opened Somerset Westview Nairobi (Kenya) which marked Ascott’s entry into Eastern Africa, and the current launch of Somerset City Centre Atyrau (Kazakhstan). Continuing the optimistic growth pattern, The Ascott Limited is further slated to add three new operational properties to its portfolio in 2022; these will include Somerset Downtown Al Khobar, Citadines Abha, Ascott Villas Riyadh in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. As well as, the relaunch of the much anticipated Somerset West Bay Doha, and the new franchised Somerset Al Mansoura Doha in Qatar.
