ONYX Hospitality Group Redefines Hospitality with the Launch of Shama Hub: A Fresh New Serviced Apartment Concept

"At Shama Hub, we believe in providing more than just a roof over your head; we offer an experience that defines you," says Yuthachai Charanachitta, CEO of ONYX Hospitality Group. "Our serviced apartments are meticulously designed to be practical for real living, ranging from studios to larger living spaces, ensuring comfort and functionality for our guests."

Strategically located in vibrant neighbourhoods, Shama Hub properties are easily accessible to attractive areas, allowing guests to seamlessly connect with the pulse of the city. Each location embodies the essence of local culture and endless exploration.

ONYX Hospitality Group is delighted to announce the addition of two new properties to the Shama Hub portfolio: Shama Hub Qiantang, China and Shama Hub Metro South, Hong Kong.

Strategically located in the recently developed area of Hong Kong Southern district, Shama Hub Metro South, Hong Kong, is an ideal hub for individuals or families seeking long-term accommodation close to the city while being surrounded by nature. Vibrant public areas blend seamlessly with the co-living concept, offering a contemporary hotel-home hybrid lifestyle. The property features 26 floors and 139 rooms, with seven room types ranging from studios to two-bedroom units, all designed for a seamless and convenient stay with essential amenities at hand.

Located in Metro South Tower 2, just a 2-minute walk from Wong Chuk Hang MTR station, guests can reach Admiralty in about 10 minutes via the South Island Line. This prime location provides easy access to attractions like Ocean Park and Hong Kong Island, allowing guests to enjoy the vibrant energy of the Aberdeen district and discover new and creative experiences within minutes.

Shama Hub Qiantang Hangzhou, China, stands a new addition in the heart of Hangzhou, a city famed for its ancient history and once praised by Marco Polo for its opulence and grandeur. Located in the Dajiangdong area, just a short walk from Dongsha Lake Park and the Grand Convention and Exhibition Centre, and within close proximity to shops, malls, and restaurants, Shama Hub Qiantang is ideal for work and leisure.

Adventurous guests will find major transport hubs easily accessible, allowing exploration of Hangzhou's enchanting sights, with the majestic Tianmu Mountain range as a backdrop. Situated by the stunning Qiantang River, the property is only a 40-minute drive from the city's international airport.

Embodying Shama Hub's philosophy, Shama Hub Qiantang features a variety of room types that caters to short- and long-term residents. Guests can choose from spacious studio kings, one-bedroom suites, or studio flex twin rooms. Spacious desks and regular housekeeping services ensure a productive environment, allowing guests to achieve the perfect balance between work and relaxation.

Each Shama Hub property offers an array of amenities designed to enrich the living experience. These include self-service laundry facilities, a fitness centre, communal hub spaces, and self-service business cabins. These facilities also foster a sense of community within the Shama Hub environment, enhancing both convenience and social interaction for residents.

In addition to prime locations and top-notch facilities, these Shama Hubs offer the exclusive "Shama Social Club" lifestyle programme. This innovative initiative enriches the guest experience by fostering a sense of community and connecting residents to the unique essence of each locale. Through tailored interior design, curated activities, and thoughtful gestures, Shama Social Club ensures that guests feel welcomed and at home from the moment they arrive.

"We are thrilled to introduce the Shama Social Club to our guests in Hong Kong, China, and beyond," adds Mr. Charanachitta. "It is not just a club; it's a community that fosters connection, exploration, and a sense of belonging."

Shama Hub's expansion into Hong Kong and China marks a significant milestone in the brand's journey. With a portfolio of over 2,500 units across 20 properties, including leading positions in international service apartment operations, Shama continues to set the benchmark for serviced hospitality excellence in Asia.
