Swissotel The Stamford


SINGAPORE: A hotel instead of a holiday resort will house the athletes for the upcoming Asian Youth Games in Singapore.

The Singapore Sports Council, the organisers of the Games, said on Friday that Swissotel The Stamford will be the new Games Village for the event.

The organising committee had originally selected Downtown East as the Games Village. But there are space constraints for the more than 1,100 athletes from 40 countries expected at the Games.

Swissotel The Stamford, the new alternative, is centrally located and will offer other services like security, language services, traffic control within the hotel and tour and travel arrangements.

The hotel also has the experience of managing challenges that come with accommodating large numbers of overseas guests every day.

The inaugural Asian Youth Games will be held from 29 June-7 July and Singapore is using the event as a tune-up for the 2010 Youth Olympic Games.
