Fairmont Singapore Hotel Hosts 2010 Youth Olympic Games
London is now busy preparing for the 2012 Olympic Games, but Singapore is even busier with only about a year of preparation for the Youth Olympic Games on August 14 to 26, 2010.
This sports event aims to encourage young athletes from around the world to exemplify and embody the values of the Olympics such as excellence, friendship and respect.
This event seeks to instill true sportsmanship in these young athletes, aged between 14 and 18 years old, and will be competing in 26 sports.
2010 YOG is expecting 3,600 athletes from all over the globe, 800 officials from the 205 National Olympic Committees, 800 media representatives from major TV networks internationally, 20,000 local and international volunteers and half a million spectators, fans and sport enthusiasts.
To welcome, entertain and host the participants, YOG appointed Fairmont Singapore as their official hotel partner for this event.
Ian Wilson, General Manager of Fairmont Singapore, expressed his enthusiasm upon this selection.
He said that the hotel is extremely proud to be a part of this historic event.
They are looking forward to showcasing the best of Singapore.
They promise to welcome their guests from all over the world with warm and genuine hospitality.
Their well-trained staff and crew will definitely give their guests an experience that would truly reflect the distinctive atmosphere of Singapore.
Fairmont Singapore is located in the city center, where cultural landmarks, historical sites, museums and parliament buildings, shopping districts, classy restaurants, business centers, relaxation spas, souvenir shops, nightspots, bars, discos and entertainment hubs are in close proximity.
Mr.
Goh Kee Nguan, Chief Executive Officer of the Singapore Youth Olympic Games Organizing Committee, assured that visitors staying at the Fairmont Singapore will not have any problems traveling from the hotel to the competition venues because it is highly accessible and built in a good location.
The hotel has 769 guestrooms and suites and a collection of 16 restaurants and bars that offer a distinct taste, style, specialty and hospitality.
The award- winning Willow Stream Spa, one of the largest spa facilities in Asia, gives a fitting relaxation treat for tired athletes and game officials who would want to freshen up and give their bodies their much deserved pampering.
Fairmont Singapore is already a trusted venue for hosting such large delegations.
With their intense preparations and experienced management, this hotel is confident with their high quality service and reliable facilities.
In 2005, Fairmont opened its doors to almost 6,500 officials, delegates, dignitaries and sports celebrities for the 117th International Olympic Committee (IOC) Session.
It is capable of hosting large conferences and meetings like this because it is fully-equipped with facilities that help create a fitting environment for discussion, learning and intelligent interaction.
The fourth level of Fairmont Hotel avails 70,000 square feet of state-of-the-art function space, with 27 meeting rooms including a cutting-edge Executive Conference Centre, equipped with an excellent Satellite Conference System for global conferences, an icon-based touch screen, flexible modular table system, ergonomic chairs, all conveniently close at hand.
This is more commonly known as the Raffles City Convention Centre.
