Staying in Singapore

Local Transportation: See Maps, Apps, and City Guides, which includes a link to the Singapore Train System map.


Off-Campus Lodging: Singapore offers numerous options for lodging, but NTU is in an area that does not have many hotels. We recommend that conference participants stay at Genting Hotel Jurong, the closest hotel to the NTU campus. A number of rooms have been set aside for conference participants. You can indicate that you are a conference participant by using the reservation form below.

The Genting Hotel Jurong is a 15 minutes car ride from campus. We will provide a daily shuttle to the conference venue and back. The hotel is also a 5 minute walk from Jurong East MRT (train) Station, from which you can get on the East-West line or the North-South line.

    Those who are wary of supplying their credit card details on the reservation form that must be emailed to the Genting Hotel Jurong have two options.

    Option 1:Send an encrypted reservation form. This can be done as follows:
    • Download the reservation form and fill in the details, including your credit card information.

    • Send the encrypted form to groups@rwsentosa.com 
    • Send the password in a second follow-up email to groups@rwsentosa.com , referencing your earlier email containing the encrypted reservation form.

  • Option 2:Give credit card details over a phone line. This can be done as follows:
    • Download the reservation form and fill in the details, except for the credit card information. 
    • On the line for "credit card number", write: "Please phone for credit card information". 
    • Make sure you provide your phone number  on the form. The Genting Hotel Jurong will phone you to obtain credit card details.

Numerous other hotels can be found, especially in the tourist areas of Singapore around Orchard Road and the Marina District, but you should keep in mind that these areas are 30 minutes away by taxi and more than an hour away by public transportation.

On-Campus Lodging: Conference participants may also stay in student housing that is vacated for the summer. The rates are significantly cheaper than for the hotel, but there are some restrictions. NTU can only offer a flat rate for five nights covering the nights of June 22 to June 26. You can check in and check out at any time during that period, but you must pay the full rate. 

Booking Instructions: To secure on-campus lodging for HOPOS 2020 you must register for the congress no later than 31 March 2020 and indicate your interest in securing on-campus lodging during the registration process. (Registration will open in mid-February.) The Local Organizers will then contact you during the first two weeks of April 2020 to process the full payment for your accommodations and finalize your booking. As per NTU policy, fees paid for on-campus lodging cannot be refunded.
