40 | My WOrLD<br />

For Eddie tsao and his wife, a home is where they can totally relax with family<br />

and friends – something that they have found in Fraser Suites CBD Beijing<br />

I relocated from California to Beijing in<br />

May 2008 on an overseas job assignment<br />

to help a US company develop our China<br />

business operations. On my first month<br />

here, I heard about the newly opened<br />

Fraser Suites CBD Beijing so I decided to<br />

check it out. I was really happy to be one<br />

of its first residents.<br />

It’s not always easy to move from<br />

one country to another while trying to<br />

deal with a busy workload and finding<br />

life balance for the family. But our GM,<br />

Mr Bernard Teo, and the entire Fraser<br />

staff helped my family settle in with<br />

warm customer care that exceeded our<br />

expectations, taking us out on group tours<br />

The centrally located Fraser Place Manila<br />

makes business and leisure easy for<br />

Hubertus verijzer<br />

I did not know anything about <strong>Frasers</strong> <strong>Hospitality</strong> before I<br />

arrived in Manila in November last year. Now I am happy to<br />

enjoy the experience. The best thing I like about Fraser Place<br />

Manila is its location right in the heart of Makati’s Central<br />

Business District; it is only a few minutes away from the<br />

Netherlands Embassy, where I work. I am also very happy<br />

with the space and the conveniences. On my free time,<br />

I avail of the property’s complimentary shuttle bus service<br />

that takes me to the city’s entertainment and restaurant<br />

belt where I can do my weekly shopping.<br />

fraser cachet<br />

and weekly activities with other tenants.<br />

Here, we met many other residents<br />

from other countries who are now our<br />

close friends. We get together with them<br />

at Fraser Suites for some wine tasting<br />

and share potluck dinner. We joked about<br />

calling Fraser Suites our own modernstyle<br />

siheyuan (courtyard house) as it<br />

provides a wonderful resident lounge<br />

for families to share meals and stories<br />

together after a long day at the office!<br />

When the weather is nice, a group of<br />

us would ride our bicycles to visit some<br />

hutong (small alleys) on our own ‘Beijing<br />

Discovery’ tours to microbrewery and<br />

local food spots. As an avid motorcycle<br />

rider, I also join local Harley riders<br />

for trips to the Great Wall and the<br />

countryside on weekends.<br />

Newcomers spencer and Judi gladwell<br />

have found the perfect ‘home away from<br />

home’ in Fraser Suites Doha<br />

My wife and I have been staying at Fraser Suites Doha for<br />

almost half a year now. I was aware of Fraser Suites from my time<br />

in Asia; I knew of the brand and it was one of the very first places I<br />

looked at when we started our accommodation search.<br />

The things that I truly like the most in Fraser Suites Doha are the<br />

location, style, décor and ambience. The room space and views add<br />

to the overall experience. The staff are all very friendly and always<br />

there to help. For me and my wife, Fraser Suites Doha is very much<br />

our home away from our home in Monmouthshire, the UK.<br />

My company recently won a series of contracts with Ashghal<br />

and we are now in the process of registering our company in<br />

Qatar. As we are still very much starting up our projects and<br />

company, we haven’t<br />

had the chance to<br />

really experience<br />

much of the city.<br />

However, golf,<br />

reading, relaxing<br />

by the pool and a<br />

workout in the great<br />

gym facilities fill<br />

the free time.
