Accor will this year launch a new trendy lifestyle brand in Singapore with the opening of Ibis Styles Singapore on MacPherson, set to open in Q4 2015. And it’s the style of things to come.
Strategically located on the corner of MacPherson and Aljunied Road, the ibis Styles hotel complex will enhance the newest development project in MacPherson.
Described as one of the most exciting developments for the Lion City this year, the fun, funky and colourful ibis Styles hotel will be complemented by the MacPherson shopping mall which is part of the same complex.
Ibis Styles will showcase a 25 metre free-form swimming pool on the fourth floor overlooking the greenery of MacPherson Road, where guests will be able to enjoy a chilled drink in a serene resort-type setting.
The owners of the hotel are proud to have created innovative designer furniture, custom-built to fit a range of room styles while ensuring guest comfort. The bright interior, funky colours, young look and feel of ibis Styles will feature 298 rooms, a restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating, a pool bar, modern gym and a welcoming water feature to ensure everyone who arrives will feel instantly relaxed.
This stylish and fun hotel, with a sleek ship-like exterior, is ideally located just 20 minutes’ drive from Changi Airport and will provide a free shuttle service for easy access to Singapore’s best shopping, nightlife and attractions.
The hotel’s opening will be great news for residents and businesses located in the MacPherson area, providing affordable accommodation for visiting colleagues and friends and the perfect place to chill-out or enjoy a meal or drink.
“We are very excited to bring the ibis Styles brand to Singapore,” said Ibis Styles Singapore on MacPherson General Manager, Shamila Rolfe.
