by the architect Yang Tai Tye (2).
The 12-storey building has 230 guest rooms, a

was demolished in 1982 to make way for new
extensions at the rear to add another 168 guest
rooms, plus carparking, a swimming pool,
restaurant, recreational facilities and function
rooms.(1)

hotel is now closed and awaiting redevelopment. |
