Over at The Fullerton Hotel, which is less than a 10-minute walk from the Padang in the central business district, bookings for rooms have also seen a 15 per cent increase.
Domestic bookings have accounted for a higher-than-usual 30 per cent of its business due to the National Day holiday, the hotel said.
“Normally we do not see this high a percentage of local bookings as compared to normal days. So it is a very good mix of locals (and international visitors),” said the hotel’s country general manager Gino Tan.
He added that on the whole, the hotel is seeing an increasing number of overseas visitors travelling to Singapore.
NDP SPECIAL MENUS
Besides their rooms, the hotels said that tables at their restaurants are also selling out fast as both locals and tourists get into the mood to celebrate Singapore’s 58th birthday.
Both hotels have created special menus to keep up with the festivities.
Andaz Singapore has put together a selection of dishes to celebrate the nation’s multi-cultural landscape. Among the dishes offered are chilli crab cake, prata pizza and tandoori chicken satay.
