The hotel comprises 29 hotel rooms accessible via a passenger lift to all floors. Part of the ground floor is currently leased out to a F&B operator as al-fresco dining and a small kiosk will be carved out to operate as a money exchange in the near term.

Located at a corner plot with 35m of dual road frontage, the property has a high footfall throughout the day and a high occupancy rate through the year from local and overseas travellers.

The buyer and operator has potential naming and signage rights.

The city fringe locale is a lifestyle enclave filled with a diverse mix of new residential developments, F&B eateries, historic temples and cultural destinations.

“The boutique hotel offers a palatable investment quantum and has value-add potential by repositioning as a serviced or co-living apartment with longer but flexible lease terms,” says Jeremy Lake, managing director of investment sales & capital markets at Savills.

It is a short drive to the Central Business District and is also poised to benefit from the influx of international tourists, he adds.

The EOI exercise will close on Dec 2 at 3pm.
