From school to hotel
A 130-room business hotel will soon occupy what was formerly Pearl’s Hill Primary School.
The 37-year-old building, which was vacated by the school in 2001, will undergo a $6 million renovation to equip it with features like broadband Internet access, a gym and restaurant.
The hotel will open by the end of this year and be run by property and shipping company Vita Holdings.
Vita subsidiary Whitehouse Holdings won a recent Singapore Land Authority tender to rent the building for an initial term of three years, renewable up to 2016.
It will pay $82,178 a month in rent, charging an average of $150 a night for rooms.
The hotel’s proximity to Singapore General Hospital means it could cater to medical tourists.
The new hotel will go some way towards meeting the target of adding 2,000 hotel rooms here over the next two years.
