Singapore hotels drop leisure bookings after being designated as SHN facilities

EVEN as hotels in Singapore see a robust demand for staycations as borders largely remain shut, some hoteliers have had to give up leisure bookings to make way for guests required to serve their stay-home notice (SHN).

The Business Times (BT) understands that Naumi Hotel Singapore and Amara Singapore had recently notified guests that their bookings were cancelled as their premises will be used as SHN facilities. The names of hotels contracted with the government have not been made public.

BT has reached out to the Singapore Tourism Board, which oversees applications for business resumption of hotels, for comment.
