About Grand Imperial Hotel
The hotel at 3 Belilios Road, Singapore 219924, in District 8 (Farrer Park / Serangoon Road), no longer trades as Grand Imperial Hotel. It now operates as Hilton Garden Inn Singapore Serangoon, which is also the building name shown in the national OneMap address register. The property has 328 rooms and stands just off Serangoon Road in Little India.
The Hilton Garden Inn opened in mid-2017 after a renovation of the former Grand Imperial Hotel. It was the first hotel in Singapore under Hilton's Garden Inn brand. Facilities announced at opening included an outdoor pool with city views, a fitness centre, an all-day restaurant and a 24-hour pantry shop. The Grand Imperial name survives in older records, including the strata title plan, MCST 3887.
Interesting facts
The rebranding in 2017 marked the Singapore debut of Hilton Garden Inn, Hilton's mid-priced brand.
Press reports state that the Grand Imperial Hotel property changed hands in 2015 for about $248 million, before the Hilton conversion.
Belilios Road meets Serangoon Road beside Sri Veeramakaliamman Temple, which began as a shrine in 1855. The temple building dates from 1881.
Race Course Road, one street away, recalls the Serangoon Road racecourse that operated at Farrer Park from 1842 to 1933.
