Shangri-La’s Rasa Sentosa Resort to reopen next week

REBRANDED as Shangri-La’s Rasa Sentosa Resort, the former Rasa Sentosa Resort will reopen its doors from next week after a 10-month-long, $80 million renovation.

The hotel will reopen on Jan 18 at the auspicious time of 8.18 am just ahead of Chinese New Year.

‘The resort has always enjoyed good occupancy in the past. We are expecting even better occupancy with the new product. The new resort has services and facilities to cater to different types of guests so we can be all-rounded,’ a spokesperson for the hotel said. ‘We are looking forward to a greater market share.’

As part of the upgrading works, the number of rooms in the hotel has been reduced from 459 previously to 454, with some of the existing rooms having been expanded. Room rates start from $320++ per night.

The resort also provides meeting, incentive, conference and exhibition (MICE) services, as its function rooms have been refurbished and equipped with an intelligent lighting system, soundproof double walls as well as audio-visual equipment to cater to corporate travellers.
