Singapore hotels a bane for CDL Hospitality Trust

They posted a 0.8% drop in RevPAR in Q1.

Whilst CDL Hospitality Trust (CDHLT) posted a healthy net property income for the past quarter, up 6.4% to $35.9m, it has continually faced challenges with its Singapore portfolio.

According to OCBC Investment Research, CDLHT's Singapore hotels posted a 0.8% drop in revenue per available room in the said quarter.

"This relatively mild decline was achieved despite the absence of the biennial Singapore Airshow," the brokerage firm noted.

It added, "Nonetheless, we expect the operating environment to remain challenging going forward given the weak corporate environment and incoming hotel supply – 130
rooms were added in 1Q17, while 2,826 more are expected in 2Q17."

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
