Minor Hotels has announced plans to launch its Avani Hotels & Resorts lifestyle brand in Singapore, marking the group’s entry into the country.

Expansion continues

Scheduled to open in the first quarter of 2027, the 13-storey upscale property aligns with Minor Hotels‘ expansion strategy to strengthen its footprint in major global destinations.

To develop the 200-key hotel, Minor Hotels has partnered with Singapore’s Kajima Development and Abu Dhabi-based Alwathba Investment. 

With a prime address at 24 Peck Seah Street in the Tanjong Pagar district, the hotel is within minutes’ walk to the Central Business District and Chinatown. 

The property is also less than 200 metres from the Tanjong Pagar MRT Station and 350 metres from the Maxwell MRT Station. This will provide easy access to Singapore’s Downtown Core, Marina Bay and other districts.

Avani Singapore represents a strategic market entry for Minor Hotels, and we are honoured to have our partners Kajima and Alwathba alongside us as we venture into Singapore’s hospitality sector,” commented Dillip Rajakarier, Group CEO of Minor International and CEO of Minor Hotels. 

“Their industry expertise and market knowledge will ensure the delivery of an exceptional hotel experience, creating a vibrant base for business and leisure travellers.” 

Brand development

Avani Hotels & Resorts is one of Minor Hotels’ eight hotel brands and was launched in 2011. Avani currently operates 42 hotels and resorts in 24 countries. Minor Hotels plans to expand Avani’s footprint to nearly 100 hotels and resorts by the end of 2026, with openings in Thailand, China and the Seychelles scheduled for later this year.

Minor Hotels is a global hospitality group operating over 550 hotels, resorts and residences in 56 countries.

As a hotel owner, operator and investor, Minor Hotels has a diverse portfolio of eight hotel brands – Anantara, Avani, Elewana Collection, NH, NH Collection, nhow, Oaks and Tivoli – and a collection of related businesses. Minor Hotels is rapidly accelerating its global growth ambitions, aiming to add more than 200 hotels by the end of 2026.
