Anchored by key properties in Hong Kong, China, and Malaysia, Shama showcases its strength in prime locations, with ambitions to become a world-class serviced apartment brand.
BANGKOK, THAILAND - Media OutReach Newswire - 30 October 2024 - ONYX Hospitality Group, a leading management company for hotels, resorts, serviced apartments, and luxury residences in Southeast Asia, is expanding its Shama serviced apartment brand internationally following positive feedback from both business and professional travellers. New openings have included Shama Hub Qiantang in Hangzhou, China, Shama Hub Metro South in Hong Kong, and Shama Suasana, located in Johor Bahru, Malaysia, with imminent future development plans in Malaysia, Laos and Thailand.
The increasing number of international business and work-related travellers seeking long-term accommodation in residential areas within commercial districts has made serviced apartments a preferred choice for this group. As a result, Shama has experienced remarkable growth over the past five years for ONYX Hospitality Group.
With a portfolio of over 2,500 units across 20 properties, Shama is a leading name in serviced apartments and ranks as the No.1 international-level apartment provider in Hong Kong. Thanks to its prime locations and hotel-standard services, Shama is an ideal choice for Thai and international travellers.
Yuthachai Charanachitta, Chief Executive Officer of ONYX Hospitality Group, stated that "Shama" is a serviced apartment brand that originated in Hong Kong. ONYX Hospitality Group acquired the business in 2010 and has since steadily expanded it in Thailand and internationally. Overseas, Shama now operates in seven locations in Hong Kong, five in China, and two in Malaysia, offering a superior experience to travellers from around the globe.
Looking ahead, the plan is to expand the business robustly both in Thailand and across Southeast Asia, with the goal of establishing Shama as a leading serviced apartment brand. The focus will be on offering services that make guests feel as though Shama is their home away from home, while delivering an exceptional experience with international-standard service under a trusted brand.
The success of the "Shama" brand stems from its unique offering, which sets it apart from other serviced apartments. Shama provides thoughtfully designed rooms tailored to suit the living needs of all types of residents, from solo business travellers to extended families seeking a second home for everyone. In addition, Shama offers facilities that cater to daily life requirements, along with 24/7 hotel-level care services for residents.
Moreover, the Shama brand sets itself apart by consistently being located in prime residential areas at the heart of the city, surrounded by amenities and providing convenient transport links. This enhances both short-term and long-term staying experiences, promoting well-being and seamlessly integrating lifestyle, work, travel, and relaxation. Shama fosters a simplified life in a new environment, making guests feel as if it's a second home that brings happiness and warmth with every stay.
To cater to the needs of travellers with varying lifestyles, the "Shama" brand offers services in three formats: "Shama Luxe," "Shama," and "Shama Hub." Each format differs in room size, location, design, and decoration, ensuring that the diverse requirements of customers are met, ranging from upper-upscale to upper-midscale options.
In the near future, ONYX Hospitality Group plans to launch Shama Luxe in Malaysia, Shama in Laos, and Shama Hub in Thailand.
