The new generation of travellers expects customization and localization while maintaining the highest level of hospitality and maintaining their personal lifestyle.

With guest centric service innovation at the core of its business model, Oakwood has raised the benchmark for serviced apartment operators. Oakwood is persistent in pioneering novel hospitality experiences, knowing that guests of serviced apartments appreciate the luxury of greater space and seek the convenience of amenities within the privacy of their apartments. Unlike traditional hotels, Oakwood's portfolio is built for a residential lifestyle, with larger living spaces, well-equipped kitchens, and amenities, as well as comfortable and generous workspaces that are rarely seen in traditional hotels. “With 'Bleisure' and the trend of remote work here to stay, serviced apartments combine the convenience and comfort of a private sanctuary with the

necessities of a work environment,” signifies Mr. Hoshang Garivala (Director of Operations, India).

Oakwood strategizes its offers and experiences according to market demand and each destination’s unique charms. The firm has an ongoing offer on a global level that is, "Save for Safe Travel" that offers up to 20% on Best Flexible Rates when a guest makes a direct booking with the firm.

Continuous service innovation is the cornerstone of Oakwood's success. Oakwood Premier Mobile Bar Experience, which launched as a pilot initiative at Oakwood Premier AMTD Singapore in 2019, is one of the best examples of ongoing service innovation. This novel concept allows guests to enjoy the elite club lounge experience in the privacy of their own rooms or apartments, with cocktails prepared right at their door and served alongside a pairing of canapés. When COVID-19 hit, this concept became even more pertinent for the brand in terms of catering to customers who desired to enjoy their bar/ club lounge experience from the comfort of their own apartments. Encouraged by its success, Oakwood Premier rolled out this experience as a signature brand experience across all of its Oakwood Premier properties, including Oakwood Premier Prestige Bangalore, in June 2021.

As the pioneer of serviced apartments with over 50 years of hospitality expertise, Oakwood is committed to constant innovation and evolution with a guest-first approach. Since its inception in the Asia Pacific in 1997, Oakwood has had sustained development and has a solid market leadership position in the region. In India, Oakwood has ten projects in the pipeline to complement its current collection of four operating properties. And by 2025, it is looking forward to double its managed property portfolio.
