Hotel offers one price for the lot

SINGAPORE - A new boutique hotel has become the first in the Lion city to charge one flat rate for all its services.

Guests at the 108-room Quincy on Mount Elizabeth will pay S$208 plus taxes for the room, three meals a day, an Internet connection, all local calls, laundry, drinks from the mini-bar, limousine pick-up from the airport and an evening cocktail.

Eventually, and subject to market conditions, the rate will go up to $288++.

Quincy's rooms are all of the same class and size - 26 sq m.

The Straits Times says that for now, Quincy's novel pricing policy seems to be pulling people in, economic downturn or not.

It has achieved 76 per cent occupancy since its soft opening last month, higher than the national average occupancy rate of 67 per cent in January.

Quincy's general manager Franck Hardy said guests will have a 'hassle-free' stay during these belt-tightening times without worrying about add-ons to their bills.
