Lanson Place, the hospitality brand synonymous with refined elegance and elevated residential lifestyle, celebrates its 30th anniversary in 2025 and marks three decades as a pioneer in extended stays. From its beginnings in Kuala Lumpur to a growing regional presence with nine properties, Lanson Place has gained distinction and acclaim for its signature residential-style design living spaces, intuitive service, and personalised guest experiences. With a nuanced understanding of today's globally mobile travellers, Lanson Place continues to expand thoughtfully into destinations that reflect the changing rhythms of work, lifestyle, and local connections, while reflecting the increasing need from guests for longer stays.

 Your Place, Lanson Place

From its debut property in 1995, Kondominium No. 8 in Kuala Lumpur, Lanson Place has consistently evolved the concept of long-stay hospitality into a refined, home-away-from-home experience. The brand's expansion reflects its ability to adapt to the region's fast-changing urban landscapes:

1995: Launch of debut property in Kuala Lumpur

1998: Expansion into Singapore

2000: Launch of The WaterFront in Hong Kong

2005: Entry into Mainland China with Jinlin Tiandi, Shanghai

2005: Flagship property in Hong Kong joins Small Luxury Hotels of the World™

2010: Third-party management debut with Jin Qiao Serviced Residences

2019: Brand reimagining with a refined new identity

2024: The flagship hotel, Lanson Place Causeway Bay, Hong Kong, has reopened following a 16-month renovation, masterfully reimagined by award-winning French interior designer Pierre-Yves Rochon.

Every milestone has signified a purposeful evolution, strengthening Lanson Place's position as a style-forward, design-conscious hospitality brand that continues to innovate and elevate the long-stay experience.

Adapting to Changing Traveller Needs

Today's global travellers are seeking more than temporary stays and look for local neighbourhood immersion, uncompromising comfort, and a sense of belonging. Through curated spatial design, bespoke service culture, and thoughtful community engagement, Lanson Place has met this demand by crafting personal sanctuaries for discerning travellers in spaces that embody elegance without excess, and hospitality without pretence.  

“After three decades, Lanson Place continues to earn critical acclaim by anticipating how guests want to live, work and relax while away from home. At Lanson Place, we design residential spaces that are as personal as they are practical – balancing style, service, and reflecting the soul of each destination. 'Your Place. Lanson Place.' is a promise that we live by, one guest at a time,” said Michael Hobson, Chief Executive Officer, Lanson Place.

Strategic Growth: A Robust Pipeline Across Asia-Pacific

Lanson Place continues to grow, and four new developments in 2024 alone showed how the brand has brought its signature blend of style, service, and residential comfort to discerning travellers in key economic and cultural hubs:

• Grand reopening with a hybrid hospitality model: Lanson Place Causeway Bay, Hong Kong
• Entry to new markets: Lanson Place Mall of Asia, Manila and Parliament Gardens, Melbourne
• Debut in the Greater Bay Area: Yiju Apartment, Shenzhen

Extended Stays More Popular Than Ever

The trend for remote working is here to stay. It has reshaped the work-life balance to the point where "bleisure" - the blend of business and leisure - has ensured that extended stays are more popular than ever and remain a defining strategy for Lanson Place.

Elsewhere, digital nomadism and multigenerational travel have also fuelled demand for longer stays and more flexible travel options across Lanson Place's portfolio of personal sanctuaries.

With Lanson Place's focus on serviced residences and hotels, the needs of relocated professionals, long-term guests, and travellers seeking flexible, blended experiences are being addressed as never before. Guests are staying for longer and appreciate Lanson Place's residential-like design, spacious, family-friendly configurations, and intuitive, personalised service.

As a key differentiator from other brands, the embrace of extended stays has also seen Lanson Place properties—featuring artistic design and staff who act more like hosts welcoming guests home—adopt a hybrid model, where accommodations seamlessly cater to both short-term leisure guests and long-term residents, blending hotel-like amenities with the comforts and privacy of a home.

Award-Winning Sustained Excellence

Lanson Place's hallmark warmth and quality continue to resonate with guests and industry insiders alike. In the 2025 Tripadvisor Travellers' Choice Awards, five properties were recognised, marking the 12th consecutive year of accolades for the brand. This track record of public and industry acclaim is testament to the brand's enduring commitment to excellence, guest satisfaction, and hospitality with heart.

 Looking Ahead: Designing Tomorrow's Hospitality Today

As Lanson Place looks to the future, its ambition is clear: to lead the next era of long-stay hospitality through intelligent design, culturally attuned service, and strategic growth across Asia-Pacific.

With three decades of trust, excellence, and innovation behind it, in addition to a bold expansion strategy to come, Lanson Place continues to shape a new paradigm of home-away-from-home hospitality.
