Ramada Singapore at Zhongshan Park to Open 18 May 2013

Singapore’s HH Properties, a joint venture between niche property development group, Hiap Hoe Limited, and SuperBowl Holdings Limited, an owner and manager of leisure and commercial properties, has completed its Sin$300 million integrated development on Balestier Road.

Managed by Wyndham Hotel Group, Ramada Singapore at Zhongshan Park will open on 18 May 2013, and follows the opening of the Days Hotels Singapore at Zhongshan Park in December 2012.

Offering a combined total of almost 800 rooms across the three and four-star hotel segment, Ramada and Days Hotels Singapore at Zhongshan Park is the first hotel-by-the-park development in the country and plays an integral part in the transformation of the Balestier locale.

“The integrated development at Zhongshan Park is aimed at opening new frontiers for the Balestier community. The convenience of having everything under one roof, from commercial offices, hotels and event facilities to shopping and dining options, creates a business and lifestyle destination that will add significant value to both the local community and travellers visiting Singapore,” said Teo Ho Beng, Executive Chairman and CEO of Hiap Hoe Group.

The 17-storey 384-room Ramada Singapore at Zhongshan Park provides guests with home-away-from-home amenities and modern conveniences such as flat screen TVs with cable channel access, complimentary in-room WiFi access, and around-the-clock room service.

Facilities include a 30-meter swimming pool, 24-hour gym, Heritage Lounge and business centre.

The hotel also features an all-day dining restaurant, Flavours at Zhongshan Park, offering Straits Chinese as well as western cuisine.

The hotel’s two state-of-the-art function facilities feature Sin$500,000 investment in top-performing audiovisual equipment and are equipped with the flexibility to accommodate events requiring different set-ups.

The main ‘Balestier’ ballroom measures 340 square meters of pillar-less space and has a 6-meter high ceiling. It will accommodate up to 300 guests in a theatre seating or up to 260 guests in a dinner banquet seating, and can be split into three functions rooms to cater to smaller seminars. The ‘Zhongshan’ meeting room overlooking Zhongshan Park offers natural daylight and can accommodate up to 150 guests in a theatre seating or be split into two separate meeting and function rooms.

Tony Cousens, General Manager, Ramada and Days Hotels at Zhongshan Park, said, “As most tourists are not first-time visitors to Singapore, we’re seeing a growth in cultural tourism as more travellers move away from the city looking to explore different parts of Singapore such as Balestier. This uptrend is a sign of greater demand for quality accommodation in these areas, and the introduction of Ramada Singapore at Zhongshan Park will offer business and leisure travellers a glimpse into Balestier’s rich heritage with the comfort of modern conveniences.”

The hotel offers direct access to Zhongshan Mall, a two-storey shopping centre of over 4,600 square meters anchored by Fairprice Finest. Other tenants at the mall include lifestyle and dining outlets such as BreadTalk, ToastBox, Thai Express, Crystal Jade Steamboat Restaurant, Gong Cha, Le Rouge specialty gift shop, Money Xchange and Guardian.

Ramada Singapore at Zhongshan Park is a mere five-minute complimentary shuttle bus service away from Novena MRT and the Velocity and United Square shopping malls and office towers, Novena Medical hub and the newly-opened Mount Elizabeth Novena Hospital. The hotel is also within walking distance of the hugely popular Wee Nam Kee Chicken Rice.

In celebration of its opening, Ramada Singapore at Zhongshan Park has launched a room package with rates from Sin$180++ for room only, and Sin$200++ including breakfast for stays until 31 August 2013. The promotional rates also include 10% off food and beverage when guests dine at the hotel’s all day dining restaurant Flavours at Zhongshan Park. Terms and conditions apply.
