“We will lease out the rooms to cater to the needs of the guests, regardless if it is on a daily, monthly or yearly basis. 

“We could also draw up a package to let out the rooms according to their academic semester,” said Container Hotel Group CEO Ryan Loo.

“The hotel will offer a full range of services, including 24-hour housekeeping, F&B outlets and recreational facilities such as swimming pool and gym,” said Everly Group CEO Dennis Tan.
