InterContinental Singapore Opens Renovated Rooms

InterContinental Singapore has opened its revamped shophouse guest rooms and suites.

The hotel has given its 65 shophouse rooms and suites a major makeover to reflect the Peranakan heritage that dates back to the 17th century when seafarers from China married indigenous Malays.

Room amenities incorporate a Bose wave music system and an array of media connections including HDMI, USB, Internet data connection and PC link inputs allowing guests to project their laptop screen on the room’s 46” LED TV. An iPhone and iPod-compatible docking station, European designer bathroom fittings and luxury bedding complete the luxurious experience.

“The shophouse rooms provide an opportunity for visitors to Singapore to really experience the heritage, get a feel for the traditional culture and lifestyle of the people who actually lived in this area,” said Ms Tash Tobias, General Manager, InterContinental Singapore commenting on the Sin$7.2 million renovation. “Very often one city can look very much like another in terms of new buildings and modern hotel rooms. What makes a trip memorable is the opportunity to get a taste of the heritage, culture and local colour.”
