InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) has signed a new dual management agreement that will include the introduction of Singapore’s first Hotel Indigo.
The deal, penned with Katong Holdings, will see the development of the 131-room Hotel Indigo Singapore Katong, alongside the 451-room Holiday Inn Express Singapore Katong – the third and largest Holiday Inn Express in the city. Both hotels will be located in the Joo Chiat neighbourhood of Katong, in the eastern part of Singapore.
“Our recent years in Singapore have been nothing short of exciting. We are seeing growth at a remarkable pace with the launch of yet another of our brands in the market, having just brought Holiday Inn Express into Singapore last year,” said Clarence Tan, IHG’s senior vice president of development for Asia, Middle East & Africa.
“The opening of these two hotels in partnership with Katong Holdings Private Limited will be significant milestones for our presence in Singapore. There is a great story to tell with the rich heritage of the Joo Chiat area, which makes it the perfect location for our first Hotel Indigo. We will design the hotel to bring out the neighbourhood story in true Hotel Indigo fashion.
“Opening our third Holiday Inn Express alongside it means we are able to help our value-conscious guests experience the authentic ethnic cultures of Singapore from a whole new part of the city,” Tan added.
The new Hotel Indigo will feature two F&B outlets, including an all-day dining restaurant, plus one meeting room, a swimming pool and fitness centre. The Holiday Inn Express Singapore Katong meanwhile, will feature one meeting room and a breakfast area called ‘The Great Room’.
Both hotels, expected to open in 2016, joining IHG’s existing collection of six hotels in Singapore: InterContinental Singapore, Crowne Plaza Changi Airport, Holiday Inn Singapore Orchard City Centre, Holiday Inn Singapore Atrium, Holiday Inn Express Singapore Orchard Road and Holiday Inn Express Singapore Clarke Quay.
