Accor Signs First MGallery Hotel in Singapore

Accor has signed a deal with SIN Capital to open the first MGallery hotel in Singapore.

Scheduled to open in H1 2021 for guests staying a minimum of six nights, the Orchard Hills Residences will be located in the heart of Orchard Road, the world-famous shopping and commercial district.

The 168 serviced residences are being designed by the award-winning Japanese studio, Nikken Sekkei with interiors accentuated by bespoke Giorgetti furniture and handcrafted decorative pieces from Japan.

"We are delighted to partner with Accor at Orchard Hills Residences and we look forward to providing our guests with a truly unique experience that integrates luxury hospitality with comprehensive health and wellness," said David Sin, Chairman of SIN Capital. "We believe that Accor is the ideal partner for us at our flagship development given their scale and depth of expertise in luxury hospitality and our shared goal of integrating health and wellness into a luxury hospitality experience."

Orchard Hills Residences will be located at Orchard Hills, one of Asia’s first Grade A, fully-integrated luxury healthcare hospitality developments.

Within its iconic, modern architecture, Orchard Hills will deliver a seamless experience that combines luxury hospitality, health and wellness services, modern and healthy cuisine options, and premium, flexible workspaces all within one complex.

The design of Orchard Hills was inspired by a metaphorical ascent up a mountain, expressed through ample water and stone features, walking paths, lush open gardens and natural bamboo forests to enhance the ambience and create a calm, rejuvenating sanctuary for residents and visitors.

Two key highlights include a cantilevered clear-bottomed swimming pool more than 100 meters above street level and a 9-by-9-metre digital art installation custom designed by teamLab.

“We are excited to collaborate with SIN Capital on our first urban wellness retreat in Singapore,” said Garth Simmons, Chief Executive Officer, Accor Southeast Asia, Japan and South Korea. “The MGallery brand is one of our fastest-growing brands in the world and encompasses a gorgeous collection of boutique hotels, all with their own personality design and rich storytelling. The opening of Orchard Hills Residences will certainly strengthen our luxury footprint in the region and consolidate our position as the leading operator in the country.”

This latest addition affirms Accor’s position as the largest hotel operator in Singapore, bringing its total inventory to 7,797 rooms across 30 hotels - 3,932 rooms in the luxury and premium range; 1,437 in midscale; and 2,428 in economy.
