Mövenpick Soft Opens Hotel on Sentosa in Singapore

Mövenpick has soft opened the Mövenpick Heritage Hotel Sentosa, its first property in Singapore. The grand opening is earmarked towards the end of the year.

Located in the heart of Sentosa, overlooking the South China Sea and Merlion Park, the five-star hotel’s facilities are spread out over two distinct wings, the traditional Heritage wing with colonial heritage dating back to the 1940s, and the new Contemporary wing with modern architecture.

The initial phase sees the opening of the contemporary wing. This modern section features 105 Deluxe rooms while 19 Onsen Suites, 3 Executive Suites and 2 Penthouse Suites – will open throughout 2011.

The signature Onsen suites will each feature a Japanese-style hot tub set in an outdoor sanctuary, while the Penthouse Suites will offer private rooftop pools.

All rooms are equipped with high-speed internet access with wireless connectivity, and feature LCD flat screen TVs with an integrated media system.

The hotel’s current dining options include Library, a lounge area where guests can relax and enjoy snacks and refreshments. The glass covered link-bridge spanning across the two wings of the hotel is home to the Tea Lounge, serving breakfast and an international menu.

Andreas Mattmüller, Chief Operating Officer for Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts Middle East and Asia, said, “We are thrilled to be entering the Singapore market. By creating a unique hotel that manages to look to the future while respecting the past at the same time, we’re able to provide something for everyone.”

The upcoming fully renovated Heritage building, set to open towards the end of 2011, will complement the existing facilities with a further 61 rooms and suites and dining options.

The Heritage wing will include an all-day dining restaurant, a Whisky Bar and Cigar Lounge.

The hotel is ideally situated to allow easy access to a wide number of leisure attractions. Guests can walk to the Resorts World Sentosa, an integrated resort featuring Universal Studios and the casino, while those looking to get out and about can jump on the Sentosa Express, with Imbiah station located directly opposite the hotel. In addition, the property is located five minutes from Vivo City, one of the largest shopping malls in the country.
