JLL’s Hotel & Hospitality Group is launching a tender on behalf of RB Capital Group, opening an RFP exercise for hotel management companies to operate Gallery Hotel.
Located in Robertson Quay along the Singapore River, Gallery Hotel is slated to undergo a major revamp to reposition and integrate the property with the Quayside retail podium RB Capital purchased from Robertson Quay Investment last year (TTG Asia e-Daily, August 2, 2013).
Tasos Kousloglou, senior vice president, asset management, JLL, Hotels & Hospitality, said: “Choosing the right brand and operator is one of the most important decisions for a hotel owner as it involves a long-term relationship. It is also paramount to the project’s success as well as the hotel’s profitability and asset value. The new hotel will be an exciting addition to Singapore’s hotel landscape and RB Capital’s hospitality portfolio.”
Kishin RK, CEO of RB Capital Group, said: “The rejuvenation of Robertson Quay will be anchored by a new upscale boutique hotel along the historic Singapore River. We envision a hospitality experience tailored to the needs of today’s discerning business and leisure travellers. With a wealth of experience in selecting international hotel operators in the region, we are confident that JLL will make this project an outstanding success.”
