Hilton Singapore to become voco Orchard Singapore (Part of IHG) in January 2022
The Mandarin Orchard Singapore is currently in the midst of being rebranded in to the largest Hilton Hotel in Asia-Pacific - the Hilton Singapore Orchard. With the opening of this flagship property, the current Hilton Singapore which is situated next to Forum The Shopping Mall will be rebranded into the first voco hotel to open in South East Asia. The 423-room voco Orchard Singapore is expected to open in January 2022 and it will provide guests with the world-renowned voco experience from the moment they walk through its doors.
Every voco hotel has its own sense of style thanks to a commitment to be reliably different which guarantees that it stands out from the crowd. Originating from Latin, voco means ‘to invite’ and ‘call together’ which perfectly represents its thoughtful and playful nature, and an ability to offer meaningful connections. The conversion-friendly nature of the voco brand means it is attracting widespread interest from owners looking to convert hotels, maximise returns and quickly benefit from IHG’s global scale, technology platforms, and one of the world’s largest hotel loyalty programmes – IHG® Rewards. The voco Orchard Singapore will be IHG’s 12th hotel in Singapore and its seventh brand in the country where it joins Regent, InterContinental, Crowne Plaza, Hotel Indigo, Holiday Inn and Holiday Inn Express.
