Accor is bolstering its presence in Singapore with the signing of two new-build properties, featuring three of its major brands.
Under an agreement with its long-standing partners, Fragrance Group Limited and Global Premium Hotels Limited, both owned by Koh Wee Meng, Accor will introduce the largest Mövenpick hotel in Asia Pacific, the first Mövenpick Living in Singapore, and a Handwritten Collection hotel.
“Singapore is a key destination for both tourism and business in Asia, and we are thrilled to strengthen our presence with these new properties,” said Accor’s Chief Operating Officer of Premium, Midscale, and Economy in Asia, Garth Simmons.
“This signing not only demonstrates the robust demand from owners and investors for brands within Accor but also reinforces our commitment to leading the region’s growth and redefining the future of hospitality in Asia.
“Each of these properties will cater to the diverse needs of travellers, offering high-quality hospitality. We look forward to a successful partnership with Fragrance Group Limited and Global Premium Hotels Limited as we continue to expand our footprint in Asia.”
Located near the central business district at Hoe Chiang Road, Mövenpick Singapore will feature 808 keys, making it the largest of the brand in Asia Pacific. In the same building, Mövenpick Living Singapore will offer 37 keys, catering for extended-stay business and leisure travellers. Both hotels are expected to open by 2027.
In late 2025, a 502-key Handwritten Collection hotel will open on Singapore’s Waterloo Street, which is renowned for local arts and culture. The new-build property will be the second Handwritten Collection hotel in Singapore, following Hotel Faber Park Singapore – Handwritten Collection, which opened in late 2023.
Through its longstanding strategic partnership with Fragrance Group Limited and Global Premium Hotels Limited, Accor is operating 17 hotels in Singapore, five in Australia, and three in the United Kingdom, under brands such as MGallery, Mövenpick, Novotel, Mercure, Handwritten Collection, Ibis Styles, and Ibis Budget.
“We are excited about this new chapter in our partnership with Accor,” said Fragrance Group Limited Founder and Chairman, Koh Wee Meng.
“These new properties will allow us to continue curating enriching experiences for our guests and further diversify our hospitality offerings in Singapore.
“As we expand our portfolio, we are committed to delivering memorable stays that cater to the evolving needs of travellers. We look forward to working closely with Accor to bring these exceptional properties to life.”
These latest hotels join Accor’s portfolio of 35 hotels across 13 brands in Singapore, including Raffles, Fairmont, Sofitel, Mondrian, Swissôtel, Pullman, Grand Mercure, Novotel, Mercure, Handwritten Collection, Ibis, Ibis Styles, and Ibis Budget.
