They say this is driven by upcoming conventions, conferences and major sporting events on the horizon.

Big-name concerts could also attract more visitors to Singapore.

Alif Almshah reports.

This boutique hotel, nestled in an early 20th century remittance house, is among the new entrants in the Klapke area.

Most of its guests come from the US, Australia and the UK.

Demand for its rooms have increased since April.

This summer holiday season, business is up by about 10 per cent.

April was slightly soft for most of us in the market.

We were driving on a high that we had in March.

As we all know, March had Taylor Swift for six exclusive nights, which was amazing for our city.

April was a real softener that hit us.

In general, the sentiment in the market has been a bit more positive and we do see the pace, the booking pace to be on track compared to last year and even better looking at the future.

In the coming three to six months, Mr Tarun expects the demand to rise by 30 per cent.

On the calendar, there are major events like the Singapore Grand Prix and this British pop star Dua Lipa's concert in November.

A list of conferences are also scheduled.

These events could bring more visitors into Singapore.

Even though a lot of the MICE events go to Suntec or Marina Bay Sands or they're held in Sentosa, I think there's always a spillover effect that comes into the other hotels around the city because regular guests that normally would stay at another hotel are now looking for something different and we could be their perfect spot for them to enjoy a different location or a different vibe and that's where we fit into the bigger picture.

This other hotel located in Sentosa is also seeing a rising trend in reservations for the second half of the year.

Room bookings for the National Day weekend in August are coming in strong.

For example, with National Day taking place over a long weekend, we are already anticipating high occupancy over that weekend.

Secondly, with world-class sporting events, major MICE events and conferences as well as concerts, we're optimistic that we can tap into these opportunities to complement our still strategies.

The hotel says the 30-day mutual visa exemption scheme for Chinese tourists has been a bonus.

It's helped boost the demand for its rooms.

It adds that the island's new attractions like Sensorescape and Kinsania are also helping to attract visitors.
