HONG KONG, China, August 10, 2007. The Oriental, Singapore, one of Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group's award-winning properties, will be renamed Mandarin Oriental, Singapore from 25 September 2007.
Following an extensive refurbishment that began in 2005, which included the redesign of the 527 guestrooms and suites as well as enhancements to all public areas, dining and meeting facilities, the hotel has been re-positioned as one of Singapore's best luxury properties. The name change was designed to coincide with this significant upgrading and to better align the hotel with the rest of the luxury properties in the world operated by 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.
25 September 2007 - an auspicious day in the Chinese calendar - will be the day on which the hotel's new signage will be unveiled. Mandarin Oriental, Singapore is the preferred destination for many business and leisure travellers, due to its close proximity to the Esplanade, Theatres on the Bay and Suntec International Conference and Exhibition Centre.
