Accor has announced a significant expansion in Singapore with the signing of two new-build properties with three hotel brands slated to open by 2027 with its long-time partners, Fragrance Group Limited and Global Premium Hotels Limited.

This agreement will launch Mövenpick Singapore, the first Mövenpick Living in Singapore, and a Handwritten Collection branded hotel, all situated near the city’s central business district and cultural hubs.

Located at Hoe Chiang Road, Mövenpick Singapore will feature approximately 808 keys, making it the largest Mövenpick hotel in the Asia Pacific. Mövenpick Living Singapore will be housed in the same building and cater to those seeking extended stays.

By late 2025, Waterloo Street will welcome a new 502-key hotel under the Handwritten Collection brand. This property will be the second Handwritten Collection hotel in Singapore, following the successful launch of Hotel Faber Park Singapore – Handwritten Collection in late 2023.

Accor Asia premium, midscale, and economy division COO Garth Simmons expressed excitement over the strengthening of Accor’s presence in Singapore. “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.”
