Philip Ng, director of investment sales at Savills Singapore, comments that at the indicative quantum price, Regin Hotel is affordable and palatable for both investors and owner-operators. Interested parties can consider repositioning the hotel to a themed boutique hotel or a hip and trendy hostel that appeals to the adventurous millennial, he adds.
