CDL unit to renovate Grand Copthorne Waterfront hotel for S$17m

CITY Developments' (CDL) Millennium & Copthorne Hotels unit will renovate the Grand Copthorne Waterfront hotel in Singapore for S$17 million through the third quarter of 2016, CDL announced on Friday.

The refurbishment of the 574-room hotel will take place in two phases, with the overhaul of the lobby and food and beverage outlets slated for completion by April 2016. The makeover for the hotel's second storey will take place between May and July 2016.

London-listed Millennium & Copthorne is also undertaking a slew of renovations at its properties around the world. The Millennium Durham in North Carolina, United States, will spend US$10.8 million to renovate all its 316 guest rooms, bathrooms and public areas. Approval for more than £100 million (S$216 million) of upgrades to London properties Millennium Knightsbridge and Millennium MAyfair are expected in time for work to begin in 2016.
