Competition in Singapore's luxury hotel industry looks set to heat up with the entry of a new player – the exclusive St. Regis.
The 13th St. Regis hotel in the world – the third in Asia, after Beijing and Shanghai – will be opening for business this Saturday. As the first internationally-branded luxury hotel to open in Singapore in 11 years, it has planned an official launch in early 2008.
With some 500 staff overseeing 300 suites, the hotel aims to be the front-runner in the luxury hotel business, with services such as butlers on every floor.
It also has three chauffeur-driven Bentleys in the unique St. Regis bronze colour.
Yngvar Stray, general manager of St. Regis Singapore, said: "We have a tremendous respect for all the hotels that are operating in Singapore, but we have the opportunity and the obligation to constantly bring innovation into our industry, and that is what we have been fortunate enough to do, with the product we're putting together." - CNA/so
