DoubleTree by Hilton to Debut in Singapore with Robertson Quay Hotel

DoubleTree by Hilton to Make Grand Debut in Singapore with Reimagined Hotel Miramar at Robertson Quay

Singapore's vibrant hospitality landscape is set for a exciting new addition with the announcement of a strategic partnership to bring the globally-loved DoubleTree by Hilton brand to the city-state. Aravest, Wee Hur Property Pte. Ltd., a subsidiary of Wee Hur Holdings Ltd., and Hilton have joined forces to transform the iconic Hotel Miramar at Robertson Quay into a brand-new DoubleTree property, marking the brand's highly anticipated debut in Singapore.

Scheduled to open its doors in 2026, the 344-key hotel will represent a powerful synergy of Hilton's world-renowned hospitality, Aravest's strategic investment vision, and Wee Hur's proven development legacy.

A New Chapter for an Iconic Robertson Quay Property

The project will breathe new life into the well-known Hotel Miramar, located in the trendy and bustling Robertson Quay precinct. The property is slated for a comprehensive upgrade that will completely revitalize the guest experience from the ground up.

Comprehensive Enhancements for the Modern Traveller

The transformation will encompass all aspects of the hotel, including all guestrooms, dining venues, and meeting spaces. Beyond the expected refreshes, the new DoubleTree by Hilton will introduce unique amenities designed to cater to both families and modern active travellers. Plans include the development of a new kids' club and the installation of pickleball courts, a rapidly growing sport. These enhancements are meticulously designed to elevate the arrival and stay experience while preserving the signature comfort and warmth that guests associate with the DoubleTree brand, starting with its famous warm cookie welcome.

A Partnership Forged by a Shared Vision

The collaboration brings together three powerhouses, each with a distinct role and a unified vision for the property's success.

Confidence in Singapore's Tourism Future

Moses K Song, CEO of Aravest, highlighted the significance of this move, stating, “This acquisition marks Aravest’s first entry into Singapore’s hospitality sector, and it underscores our strong confidence in Singapore’s robust tourism and commercial potential. We are thrilled to partner with industry leaders like Hilton and Wee Hur to create a remarkable destination for both international and local guests.”

Leveraging Expertise in Hotel Conversions

Maria Ariizumi, Vice President of Development, South East Asia at Hilton, emphasized the brand's relevant experience, noting, “Hilton has a strong track record of successful hotel conversions, and we are excited to work with Aravest and Wee Hur to bring the DoubleTree by Hilton brand to Singapore. This project is a perfect fit, allowing us to introduce our unique, approachable hospitality to the dynamic Robertson Quay neighbourhood.”

A Commitment to Redefining Standards

Goh Chengyu, CEO of Wee Hur Property, added, “Our partnership with Aravest and Hilton is a testament to our shared commitment to redefining hospitality standards in Robertson Quay. Through this collaboration, we are not just redeveloping a building; we are creating a sustainable and vibrant new social hub that enhances the community.”

Strengthening Hilton's Footprint in Singapore

The opening of the DoubleTree by Hilton at Robertson Quay is a strategic move that significantly expands Hilton's portfolio in Singapore. Upon its completion, it will grow Hilton's pipeline in the city to over 500 rooms, which also includes the highly anticipated NoMad Singapore, solidifying the group's strong presence in the luxury and upscale segments.

For Aravest and Wee Hur, this collaboration is more than a single project; it reinforces their shared mission to enhance Singapore's urban and hospitality landscape through thoughtful, sustainable redevelopment and strategic global alliances. The new DoubleTree by Hilton at Robertson Quay is poised to become a landmark destination, offering a fresh and welcoming hospitality experience in one of Singapore's most desirable locations.
