Hill International Selected as Project Manager for the Restoration of the Historic Raffles Hotel Singapore
April 21 2017 - 9:15AM
Hill International (NYSE:HIL), the global leader in managing
construction risk, announced today that it has received a contract
from Beach Road Hotel (1886) Ltd. to provide professional project
management and construction management consultancy services during
restoration of the historic Raffles Hotel Singapore.
The year was 1887 when the doors to the Raffles
Hotel Singapore first opened. Since then, this luxury
five-star hotel has become an icon that epitomizes the romance of
the Far East—an intoxicating blend of luxury, history and colonial
design. Situated in the heart of the business and civic
district, Raffles is a veritable oasis in the city. Its
classic colonial architecture has been perfectly preserved and
provides a stark but lively contrast against its modern skyscraper
neighbors.
The 103-suite hotel has embarked on a program to
restore the hotel and arcade. Arcade restoration includes the
Long Bar, Long Bar Steakhouse, Raffles Courtyard, the retail arcade
and banqueting facilities. Additional restoration projects
include hotel suites, the lobby, ballroom and other common
areas.
“This restoration project will help ensure that
Raffles Singapore stays relevant and distinctive by keeping up with
current hospitality standards,” said Abdo E. Kardous, Hill’s Senior
Vice President and Managing Director (Asia/Pacific). “We are
confident that our project team will deliver on all of our client’s
expectations,” added Kardous.
Hill International, with 4,300 professionals in
100 offices worldwide, provides program management, project
management, construction management, construction claims and other
consulting services primarily to the buildings, transportation,
environmental, energy and industrial markets. Engineering
News-Record magazine recently ranked Hill as the eighth largest
construction management firm in the United States. For more
