Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel in Singapore, under the Millennium
Hotels and Resorts (MHR), has completed an impressive S$30 million
(US$22.4 million) makeover.
Spanning nine months, the revamp involved a sophisticated redesign of
its 574 guestrooms and suites, seamlessly integrating eco-friendly
features and upgraded public spaces.
In line with the Singapore Hotel Sustainability Roadmap,
an initiative by the Singapore Hotel Association and the Singapore
Tourism Board, the hotel has embraced sustainability to promote green
practices and position Singapore as a sustainable destination.
During the renovation, Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel integrated
innovative and high-efficiency technology to reduce electricity and
water consumption.
Guestrooms feature eco-friendly features, like in-room water
filtration system replacing plastic bottles, smart room control
thermostats, and sustainable practices in sourcing, recycling, and food
waste management were implemented.
Each room is also equipped with wireless bedside charging for
electronic devices and high-definition smart TVs, enabling direct
streaming from smartphones, reducing the need for extra devices.
Another feature of the renovation is the revamped MICE conference
spaces, covering 6,200 sqm across three floors. The 33 function rooms
offer modern amenities like wireless video transmission, laser
projectors, and LED video walls. The Grand Ballroom, 850 sqm with giant
LED screens, is pillarless and adaptable for various event sizes. The
MICE spaces include modern LED lighting, recyclable stationery, in-room
water dispensers, and a linen-less table setup.
Enhancing its culinary offerings, the hotel offers three restaurants
and customised event catering, including a Halal-certified kitchen. The
Executive Club Lounge on Level 29 has also undergone a transformation,
offering exclusive amenities and breathtaking views of Singapore's
cityscape.
