 The luxury of space, complemented by natural light and spectacular views of the South China Sea are clear reasons to meet at The Sentosa. The hotel has a dedicated two-storey conference centre with eight meeting rooms and more than 1300 square metres of dedicated conference facilities that can accommodate up to 360 people. Its pillarless meeting rooms which are fitted with floor-to-ceiling windows designed to let natural light in, is the ideal venue for corporate brainstorming sessions, team-building and leadership training. At The Sentosa, a brand new corporate team-building activity inspired by the original BBC television series, “MasterChef” is now available. As the first hotel in Sentosa and in Singapore to offer this activity, the Sentosa Iron Chef package promises to get groups out of the boardroom and into the kitchen. Hands-on and interactive, corporate groups conducting meetings at The Sentosa have the option of trading their power suits and donning aprons for the day. The Sentosa Iron Chef promises to put amateur cooks through the rigour as teams are required to cook a four-course meal comprising a classic Asian dish and even use a live barbecue grill, as they battle other teams in a friendly competition to win the coveted title of the Sentosa Iron Chef. Ms Sherry Goh, 34, a corporate client had this to say about the Sentosa Iron Chef, “Team-building doesn’t get better than this - I have attended many corporate retreats, but the Sentosa Iron Chef activity was a breath of fresh air and a lot of fun! I never before thought of cooking as a bonding activity but this exercise proved me wrong.” The Sentosa Iron Chef Package is available at S$140.00++ per person and is inclusive of venue hire, chefs, apron, chef hat, recipe cards, all food ingredients and light refreshments. The activity can accommodate a minimum of six and a maximum of 20 people. Participants will also get to take home their chef hat, Sentosa Iron Chef apron, and recipe cards to replicate the dishes in their own kitchens.

Outrigger Hotels & Resorts has acquired the management rights for the Holiday Inn Surfers Paradise, which has been renamed the Outrigger Surfers Paradise. The sale includes the management rights from Colryan Pty Ltd (managers and receivers appointed) for up to 414 hotel rooms and the real estate assets from Seasilver Hotels Pty Ltd comprising reception, extensive conferencing areas, and restaurant and bar. The contract is subject to the satisfaction of standard commercial conditions. However, it is expected to settle in late 2011 or early 2012 and the property will then be re-branded to Outrigger Surfers Paradise. Outrigger Hotels & Resorts is a 64-year-old privately-held U.S. company and one of the fastest growing hospitality groups in the Asia-Pacific and Oceania regions. The hotelier has a long association with the Gold Coast after selecting the destination as its base to expand the brand from the U.S. into Australia in 1998. The company’s decision to invest in Surfers Paradise’s tourism sector is also a major show of confidence it has for the Gold Coast and builds upon the presence of its Australian head office in Surfers Paradise. Regional general manager - Australia, Grant James, said he was extremely confident in the future of the Gold Coast’s tourism industry. “The Gold Coast has fared much better than other regions in Queensland which can be evidenced by our other Gold Coast resort at Coolangatta eclipsing revenue and occupancy forecasts for the 2011/2012 period,” Mr James said.
