Singapore to get Largest Flagship Hilton Hotel (Rebranded from Mandarin Orchard) in Asia-Pacific with over 1,000 Rooms in 2022
OUE and OUE Commercial Reit (OUE C-Reit) has just announced plans to re-brand the existing Mandarin Orchard Singapore into the latest Asia-Pacific Hilton Hotel - Hilton Singapore Orchard. It is estimated that a total of $90 million will be invested in the rebrand of the flagship property and as part of this process, new meeting facilities, as well as food and beverage offerings, will be added to meet the growing demand for regional and global MICE.

The refurbishment is scheduled for completion by the end of 2021 and during this period, Mandarin Orchard will continue to operate under the management of Meritus Hotels & Resorts, the hotel management company under the hospitality division of OUE. Upon its relaunch in 2022, the hotel will have 1,080 rooms and five restaurants and bars. Its meeting and function spaces will span 3,765 square metres and include three ballrooms.

It is also worth noting that Hilton Honors has announced a global status extension for all her members earlier today - members whose elite status were due to be downgraded on 31 March 2020 will now keep them valid through 31 March 2021. Members who have qualified for status for 2020 will keep their status for an additional 12 months (expires after 31 March 2022).
