Year 2024
The year 2024 has been exceptional for our property, marked by a significant increase in occupancy rates. This surge is largely attributed to the resurgence of domestic travel, particularly within the MICE sector, alongside an uptick in FIT movements. Despite losing approximately 1,200 room nights due to the Israel conflict, we achieved our highest revenue through citywide events and Pedicons while maintaining our average daily rate (ADR).
Renovation / Expansion
Despite the challenges posed by the pandemic, we embraced the opportunity to extensively refurbish our restaurants, now among the city’s most preferred: ZOKA and SkyGrill. Our Grand Ballroom has undergone a stunning transformation, featuring a vibrant new aesthetic and completely new carpeting. As we move forward with plans to renovate our guest rooms while prioritising sustainable practices, we are excited to introduce a dedicated kids’ play area, thoughtfully designed to meet the needs of our guests. Our hotel’s offerings have expanded to accommodate larger gatherings, including meetings and weddings, featuring a sprawling 14,000-square-foot banquet area designed to combine modern aesthetics with functionality, ensuring we meet the evolving needs of future conferences.
Sustainability Initiatives
Our hotel is deeply committed to sustainability and giving back to society. We’ve installed a glass bottling unit that produces 900 glass bottles daily, eliminating approximately 27,000 plastic bottles each month. We’ve also replaced plastic bags with durable synthetic net bags for garden waste collection. Our eco-friendly initiatives extend to bulk dispensers for amenities, e-waste management (repairing over 150 LED TV panels), and responsible disposal of used oil. We also focus on reducing food waste with “No-bin days” for staff meals.
To further reduce our carbon footprint, we have incorporated electric vehicles for pick-and-drop services and installed EV charging stations for guests. Our onsite recycling plant processes waste efficiently, and treated water is repurposed for cooling towers, toilet flushing, and garden irrigation. We store approximately 500,000 litres of rainwater in reservoir tanks for use after reverse osmosis (RO) treatment.
