New hotel in Singapore will have 989 rooms

 

They like to do things in style in Singapore - like a proposed new 989-room hotel.

The Mercure ICON Hotel will be Singapore's latest landmark hotel.

Accor, the largest international hospitality group in Middle East, Africa & Asia Pacific, has announced a landmark deal with Worldwide Hotels Group, the largest hotel operator in Singapore, to create the world's largest Mercure hotel, which is set to open in the first quarter of next year.

The deal follows an agreement between Accor and Worldwide Hotels Group to also open a Novotel Singapore property.

“We are thrilled to expand our working relationship with Accor, who are a strong partner for us," says Carolyn Choo, CEO of Worldwide Hotels Group,

"With Mercure ICON Singapore City Centre, we will continue to create exceptional guest experiences for the informed, cosmopolitan traveller.”

Located on 8 Club Street, Mercure ICON Singapore City Centre will be positioned between Chinatown and the CBD, and will be directly connected to two stations: Chinatown and Telok Ayer.

The hotel promises a range of dining options and a landscaped pool deck and indoor gym. It will also feature EV charging car lots.

“It's an honour to continue our partnership with Worldwide Hotels Group with the signing of Mercure ICON Singapore City Centre,” said Garth Simmons, Chief Operating Officer for Accor's Premium, Midscale & Economy Division in Asia.

“Mercure stand as gateways to exploration, igniting a sense of local discovery from the very moment guests step through the doors." Oops. He's gushing.

"Being locally inspired is at the heart of the Mercure experience, where each of our hotels boasts a charming character reflective of its neighbourhood.

"Located in one of the most happening neighbourhoods in Singapore, and with a wealth of world-class exceptional experiences, the hotel demonstrates our shared commitment to providing genuine hospitality experiences.”
