Big Hotel stomps into Singapore

LOCAL hospitality brand Big Hotel has made its debut with the opening of its first property on Middle Road, Singapore, targeting design-conscious travellers.

The 308-room property is situated at the junction of Middle Road and Bencoolen Street, close to shopping district Orchard Road and attractions such as the National Museum. Converted into a hotel from an office building, the hotel features Scandinavian-inspired interiors.

Big Hotel offers free Wi-Fi and an in-room tablet throughout all its guestrooms. The tablet is installed with a software application that enables guests to customise room temperature, TV and lighting.

Andy Ong, chairman of ERC Holdings, which owns the Big Hotel brand, said the brand would provide travellers “a hybrid of business, luxury and design-boutique type hotels” and that the company has plans to grow the brand regionally.

To mark the opening of the inaugural Big Hotel, the hotel is offering stays in a Superior room for S$128++ (US$102) per night, available for booking on its website. The promotion is running for a limited time and special rates include free Wi-Fi, an in-room tablet, free movies on demand and access to satellite radio and Internet-protocol television.
