Citadines’ passion for city living finds its expression in the rich coffee culture of cities worldwide. Their signature, ‘For The Love of Coffee’, isn’t just a catchphrase—it’s a commitment to offering guests unique, immersive coffee experiences regardless of their global location. With this year’s coffee activations spanning over 120 Citadines properties in 31 countries, this campaign marks the most significant participation since its inauguration in 2021.
The Heartbeat of Every City
Citadines seeks to immerse travellers in a city’s distinctive coffee culture, making each cup an exploration of that city’s essence. Through curated coffee experiences, guests embark on a sensory journey, uncovering the soul of each city, sip by sip.
In her statement, Ms. Tan Bee Leng, Ascott’s Managing Director for Brand & Marketing, reflected on the significance of Citadines in the Ascott portfolio and said, “As our fastest growing brand with almost 200 properties to date, Citadines is a very important brand in Ascott’s portfolio. Supported by its design versatility, favourable guest demographics and resilient market fundamentals, we are confident to continue growing Citadines, which has one of the most extensive global footprints amongst aparthotel brands. We have pivoted our offerings towards a hybrid model that would not only allow us to offer the option of both hotel rooms and serviced residences, but also a robust programme that better caters to the lifestyle needs of our guests.”
She further encapsulated the brand’s philosophy, stating, “At Citadines, coffee is more than a beverage; it’s a symbol of the city’s spirit. Just as every city has its unique landmarks, traditions, and culture, so does its coffee. Citadines is dedicated to showcasing the diversity of each city through its coffee. From the rich Café Crème of Paris to the aromatic Kopi-O in Singapore, Citadines offers coffee experiences that will activate the infinite possibilities of city living. This International Coffee Day, whether you’re a coffee connoisseur or just looking for a unique way to experience city living, Citadines invites you to embark on a journey of taste, culture, and discovery. At Citadines, every cup tells a story, and every city has its own tale to share. Come, sip, and savour the flavours of the city with us. We can’t wait to brew up unforgettable memories with you.”
