Hyatt Hotels Corp. announced the first Andaz hotel in Southeast Asia with the opening of Andaz Singapore.

“We are extremely excited to open Andaz Singapore and to bring the inspirational and creative Andaz brand to Southeast Asia,” said Olivier Lenoir, general manager, Andaz Singapore. “By bringing in the local spirit of our surrounding neighborhoods and offering new perspectives, Andaz Singapore aims to inspire a sense of discovery.”

The locally inspired hotel sits at the intersection of Kampong Glam, Little India and the Bras Basah Bugis, surrounded by intimate alleyways, boutique shops and colorful residences.

The hotel opens in DUO, a pair of iconic concave skyscrapers designed by award-winning German architect Ole Scheeren, renowned for his works with the China Central Television Headquarters in Beijing and Prada Epicenters in New York and Los Angeles.

The art-filled hotel showcases works by local Singaporean artist Ahmad Abu Baker, Filipina artist Monica Delgado and Malaysian artist Fauzulyusri Mohd Yusof.

Guests can enjoy contemporary guestrooms; floor-to-ceiling windows with city views; complimentary minibar, WiFi and refreshments at Sunroom; Singapore street-inspired dining at Alley on 25; and cocktails at Mr. Stork rooftop bar.

Corporate event organizers can take advantage of Alley on 3, a unique alleyway featuring residential-style event spaces, inspired by the local neighborhood.

The hotel is located only 20 minutes from Changi Airport and five minutes from Singapore’s Central Business District.
