Holiday Inn Express makes Orchard Road debut

INTERCONTINENTAL Hotels Group (IHG) has opened Holiday Inn Express Singapore Orchard Road, the first of two Holiday Inn Express hotels planned for the city-state.

The 221-room hotel marks the entry of the brand into the Singapore hospitality sector.

Located within walking distance of shopping malls, the hotel also boasts easy access to Somerset and Orchard MRT stations.

Guests can enjoy free Wi-Fi access within hotel premises, an express breakfast bar or grab-and-go breakfasts, and make use of the hotel’s self-service business centre and laundry room.

Holiday Inn Express Singapore Orchard Road is the third Holiday Inn Express hotel in South-east Asia, after Holiday Inn Express Phuket Patong Beach Central and Holiday Inn Express Bangkok Siam.

Holiday Inn Express Singapore Clarke Quay is slated to come on stream in 1Q2014.

Clarence Tan, COO South-east Asia and Resorts, IHG, said: “Globally, Holiday Inn Express is one of the largest and fastest-growing brands in the industry and, in South-east Asia, the brand has a particularly bright future ahead.

“We are confident that Holiday Inn Express will do well in Singapore, whether guests are here for a quick stopover or longer trip, for business or for leisure.”

To celebrate its opening, the hotel has rolled out a special rate of S$198 (US$157) for stays until November 30.
