Additionally, Fraser Suites Kensington, London, Fraser Suites Le Claridge Champs-Elysees, Fraser Residence Budapest and Fraser Suites Edinburgh were crowned Leading Serviced Apartments in their respective countries, while the millennial-focused brand Capri by Fraser, Berlin / Germany was recognised as Germany’s Leading Hotel Residences.
