Le Méridien Hotels & Resorts has entered into an agreement with Treasure Resort for Le Méridien Singapore, Sentosa, following the renovation and conversion of the hotel. The agreement marks the return of the Le Méridien brand to Singapore after nearly a decade.
“We are excited to welcome Le Méridien back to Singapore with a property that can truly represent the new direction of the brand,” said Stephen Ho, President, Asia Pacific, Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide. “We are confident that we will be able to offer this distinctively memorable experience at Le Méridien Singapore, Sentosa.”
Rodney Tan, Chairman of Treasure Resort, added, “It is a thrill to bring a deluxe five-star brand Le Méridien back to Singapore, fully drawing out the richness of the destination through the brand’s unique vision. We’re looking forward to working with the conversion team, and hope to cultivate a long and successful partnership with Starwood.”
Designed by DP Architects and Japanese studio Super Potato, Le Méridien Singapore, Sentosa provides a juxtaposition of the old and the new, offering a glimpse of Singapore’s vibrant past and present. The hotel features 191 guestrooms, including suites with Japanese outdoor private Onsen pool, and a duplex penthouse suite with its own rooftop garden and infinity pool. Other facilities include a swimming pool and 243 square meters of versatile function space, with a 198 square meter pillar-less ballroom fitted with floor-to-ceiling windows.
“Le Méridien has been experiencing phenomenal growth in the past few years, thanks to its distinctive new positioning as well as a conversion-friendly strategy,” said Rajit Sukumaran, Senior Vice President, Acquisition & Development, Starwood Hotels & Resorts Asia Pacific. “Le Méridien continues to forge a presence in new and established markets worldwide; in 2015 alone, we opened eight hotels in Asia Pacific including the brand’s debuts in exciting destinations such as Thimpu and Paro in Bhutan, Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam and Dhaka in Bangladesh.”
