Hotel renovation FAQ

How much does hotel renovation cost in Singapore?

Guest room refresh: S$15,000-S$40,000 per room depending on size, bathroom and FF&E grade. Lobby and public areas: S$100,000-S$500,000. Full boutique hotel renovation: S$500,000-S$2,000,000 depending on room count, MEP upgrade and facade scope.

Can you renovate while the hotel stays open?

Yes. Hotel renovation is usually phased floor-by-floor or zone-by-zone — sealed work floor, soundproofing and dust control, off-peak material movement so remaining floors keep operating. Night / low-occupancy work +25-40%.

Do you handle fire safety and hotel licence approvals?

Yes. We coordinate SCDF fire safety, URA use, BCA structural and accessibility, NEA/SFA for F&B areas, and renovation compliance tied to the hotel-keeper licence under the Hotels Act.

How is guest-room soundproofing done?

Soundproof partitions (double board with acoustic infill), acoustic doors with bottom seals, floor de-coupling and bathroom pipe lagging bring corridor, neighbour and MEP noise down to hotel standard for guest sleep quality.
