First IR opens on 20 Jan 2010

Resorts World Sentosa will begin its opening in phases from that date, starting first with the opening of its four hotels.

Resorts World Sentosa’s four hotels - Festive Hotel, Hard Rock Hotel Singapore, Crockfords Tower and Hotel Michael - will offer a combined inventory of 1,350 rooms and 10 restaurant outlets at their opening. The other two hotels at the Resort, Equarius Hotel and Spa Villas, will add another 500 rooms after launching in 2010.

Operations began yesterday at two of its four hotels, as the resort opened with a lion dance and ribbon-cutting ceremony.

The date is ahead of Resorts World’s schedule for its opening.

The next to open will be Universal Studios Singapore, which Resorts World Sentosa is still obtaining approvals for. The opening date for the casino also remains unconfirmed until the Resorts World receives its casino licence.

Room and restaurant reservations will begin at 1000 hours on Monday, 11 Jan 2010.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
