The rebrand was revealed at the ILTM Asia Pacific in Singapore after Viva Land Group finalized the purchase of the 134-room luxury hotel for S$240 million. The new owners aim to position the rebranded Hotel Telegraph Singapore as one of the premier heritage hotels in Singapore as it takes on this historic building which was first established as the Eastern Extension Telegraph Company building.
According to information shared at ILTM Asia Pacific this year, Hotel Telegraph Singapore will be managed by Scotland’s Inverlochy Castle Management International (ICMI) which operates a collection of castles and resorts in its home country and the Caribbean.
As we bid farewell to 2025, I take a look back at my hotel stay statistics for the year. With 91 nights at Marriott and 70 at Hyatt, I have solidified my top-tier status where it matters most. However, with Hilton’s introduction of Diamond Reserve, my strategy for 2026 is shifting. Here is a breakdown of my nights, status retention plans, and why I am prioritising World of Hyatt and Marriott Bonvoy in the new year.
