Guests at the 319-room Holiday Inn Park View
hotel in Singapore, woke up on Wednesday in a hotel with a brand
new name.
The former Holiday Inn Park View, which first
opened its doors in 1985, is now known as the Holiday Inn
Singapore Orchard City Centre.
The hotel which overlooks the Istana in Orchard
Road, recently completed a Sin$25 million dollar refurbishment of
the entire property, including guest rooms, function rooms and
public areas.
The extensive refurbishment, carried out in
stages over the past 15 months, was undertaken by owners, the
Harilela Group, in conjunction with Holiday Inn’s US$1 billion
global relaunch programme ― designed to overhaul more than 3,200
hotels under the Holiday Inn brand family worldwide.
Holiday
Inn Singapore Orchard City Centre is one of the first Holiday Inns
in South East Asia to relaunch with the new look and brand
hallmarks. The hotel boasts new signage and lighting, an
upgraded reception area with Holiday Inn’s unique brand scent and
sound, the ‘Stay Real’ service promise that values every guest as
an individual, comfortable bedding with choice of firm or soft
pillows, and power showers.
“The decision to
invest such a significant amount during these uncertain times was
a real vote of confidence in this property, the Holiday Inn
brand, and Singapore as a growing centre for business and
tourism,” said Dr. Aron Harilela, Director of the
Hong Kong-based international property developer with
properties in Hong Kong, the Far East, Europe and the Americas. “And it was also based on the fact
that as we have a very high repeat guest ratio in the city, we
need to keep working at constantly improving our product and
service in order to maintain that high level of customer
satisfaction and loyalty.”
Holiday Inn Singapore
Orchard City Centre’s General Manager, Mr. Shantha de Silva, added
“We have focused on the things
that guests value most when they think about quality - great
beds, great showers, and genuine service with a contemporary
look. And, we also have the unique advantage of being located
right in the city centre, just off the beaten track.”
