Sentosa IR to open Jan 20
RESORTS World Sentosa (RWS) on Tuesday announced that it will start its phased opening from Jan 20, beginning with four hotels, becoming the first integrated resort to open here.
The four hotels - Festive Hotel, Hard Rock Hotel Singapore, Crockfords Tower and Hotel Michael Resorts - together offer 1,350 rooms and 10 restaurant outlets. Another two hotels at the Resort, Equarius Hotel and Spa Villas, will add another 500 rooms when they open after 2010.
This will be followed closely by Universal Studios, the theatre and the casino.
Chairman of the Genting Group and Resorts World Sentosa Tan Sri Lim Kok Thay said: 'When the Genting Group won the bid to build Resorts World Sentosa in December 2006, we promised Singapore that we will deliver a true IR that will make Singapore and Singaporeans proud. We have been single-minded about this - no distractions or excuses - and today, we are happy to say we marked the first milestone towards delivering on that promise.'
RWS began operations at two of its four hotels on Tuesday, celebrating with a lion dance and ribbon-cutting ceremony.
The phased schedule allows the resort and its 10,000 employees to run in operations and deliver the expected guest experience, said RWS chief executive Tan Hee Teck.
