SINGAPORE
Marriott International announced two new developments in Singapore: The South Beach hotel, a 634-room property designed by the renowned Philippe Starck, will become JW Marriott Hotel Singapore South Beach, and the Singapore EDITION, the first in the city, will debut in 2019.
“Singapore is one of the most important business and travel hubs in Asia Pacific and the world. We are very excited to enhance our luxury hotel portfolio and bring more options to this vibrant city,” said Craig S. Smith, Asia Pacific President and Managing Director of Marriott International. “We are also glad to have the perfect partners for these two unique hotel projects and to expand two of our most prestigious and distinctive brands, JW Marriott and EDITION, to Singapore.”
“We have a vision and an established history of bringing creativity to Singapore’s hospitality market. With that in mind, we are thrilled to combine a design masterpiece like The South Beach hotel with Marriott’s global operational expertise, and join forces with them to introduce EDITION, another world renowned design hotel brand to this city,” said Mr. Kwek Leng Beng, executive chairman, Hong Leong Group and CDL. “We look forward to these two new exciting developments in Singapore that will cater to the discerning traveler.”
Located close proximity to the Marina Bay entertainment and business districts and adjacent to Suntec Singapore Convention and Exhibition Centre, the design of JW Marriott Hotel Singapore South Beach fuses contemporary architecture with restored heritage. There are nine food and beverage outlets, including a specialty restaurant featuring world renowned and award- winning Chef Akira Back.
The majority of the hotel’s guestrooms and other facilities are located in the 45-story tower of the South Beach integrated development, while the space within the low-rise, historical buildings will be converted to house the hotel’s additional restaurant and bar concepts. The hotel currently offers 19 meeting rooms and 20,000 square feet of meeting and event space.
The Singapore EDITION will be an eight-story boutique hotel with 190 rooms. It will be located on the former Boulevard Hotel site.
