PATINA Hotels & Resorts, a new luxury hotel chain conceptualised by the Pontiac Land Group, will launch its inaugural property in Singapore by the end of next year.
The group’s six-star flagship 157-key hotel – The Patina, Capitol Singapore – will be part of an integrated development located in the heart of Singapore’s downtown at the junction of Stamford Road and North Bridge Road.
Built from the restored Capitol Building and Stamford House, the upmarket, mixed-use Capitol development is built by Capitol Investment Holdings at S$750 million (US$608 million). It will also welcome a 39-unit residential tower, a four-storey luxury shopping mall and a new Capitol theatre that will be used as a hub for cinema and performance arts (TTG Asia e-Daily, March 8, 2012).
Speaking to TTG Asia e-Daily during the signing of the hotel management agreement with Capitol Investment Holdings yesterday, Marc Dardenne, CEO of Patina Hotels & Resorts, said: “The distinctive architecture of the hotel is a unique factor that will attract the increasingly discerning travellers.”
Under Patina’s signature customer-focused 24-hour stay programme, each hotel staff will function as a personal concierge to provide guests with round-the-clock personalised service. This exclusive tailored service will also be extended to residents staying in the Capitol development.
Pua Seck Guan, director and shareholder of Capitol Investment Holdings, added that more retail and theatre concepts “befitting of the premier status of the unique integrated development” would be unveiled at the Capitol development in the coming quarters.
Following its flagship hotel in Singapore, Patina will further expand the brand in South-east Asia, China, the Maldives and the Middle East, Dardenne revealed (TTG Asia, February 22 – March 7, 2013, View from the Top).
