THE Mandarin Oriental, Singapore made its debut yesterday, following a multi-million-dollar renovation and renaming of The Oriental, Singapore.
Lots of vroom: The Mandarin Oriental, Singapore is one of the trackside hotels for the F-1 S'pore Grand Prix, to be held in September 2008The refurbishment of the hotel, which began in 2005, saw the redesign of 527 guestrooms and suites. Additionally, enhancements were made to all public areas, as well as dining and meeting facilities.
The name change corresponds with the new look and aims to better align the hotel with the Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group.
'Mandarin Oriental, Singapore will continue to provide guests with the group's legendary service, an unbeatable location, spectacular views and the finest cuisine,' said Rajesh Jhingon, general manager of Mandarin Oriental, Singapore.
He also touched on room rates during the Formula One period in September next year, estimating that the hotel's prices would match its rack rates - published or full price rates - plus around an additional 30 per cent.
Official rates may be only released in January, he added, as the time of the race has yet to be determined.
The Mandarin Oriental, which opened here in 1987, is one of the trackside hotels for the Singapore Grand Prix.
Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group is currently developing 17 new hotels of which one is expected to be ready this year - the Riviera Maya, Mexico.
