Marriott International has unveiled plans to open its first Courtyard hotel in Singapore.
The US hotel company has penned a management agreement for the Courtyard by Marriott Novena – a new 250-room property that scheduled to open in 2017.
The new midscale hotel will form part of a 33-storey mixed-use development, Royal Square at Novena, which will also feature restaurants, retail outlets and medical facilities.
“We are very excited about the collaboration with Marriott International, to bring in the very first Courtyard by Marriott, right here in Singapore” said Wong Swee Chun, director of the hotel’s developer, Hoi Hup Sunway Novena. “The hotel is located next to Novena MRT station, surrounded by offices, shopping malls and the upcoming health city, and is definitely adding a new dimension to the Novena’s skyline.”
Simon Cooper, Marriott’s president & managing director of Asia Pacific, said he expects the new property will appeal to “frequent business travellers”, as well as leisure travellers, due to Novena’s shopping malls and its proximity to Orchard Road.
Marriott currently operates two hotels in Singapore; the Singapore Marriott Hotel and the Ritz-Carlton Millenia Singapore.
