Avani Hotels and Resorts: Minor Hotels Makes Singapore Debut

Get Ready for Avani Hotels and Resorts in Singapore

Minor Hotels has revealed its intention to introduce the Avani Hotels & Resorts lifestyle brand in Singapore, signalling the group’s debut in the country. The 13-story upscale property is set to open in the first quarter of 2027.

Minor Hotels has partnered with Singapore’s Kajima Development and Abu Dhabi-based Alwathba Investment to develop a 200-key hotel. Located at 24 Peck Seah Street, the hotel is in the heart of the bustling Tanjong Pagar district, just a minute’s walk to the Central Business District and Chinatown. This new hotel aims to provide business and leisure guests with a comfortable stay. It combines the rich heritage of the city-state’s iconic shophouses with its modern urban development. The Tanjong Pagar neighbourhood is famous for its diverse food options, ranging from traditional hawker fare at Maxwell and Amoy Street food centres to Michelin-recommended global cuisine along Kiong Siak Road, Telok Ayer, and Duxton Hill. The hotel’s location is convenient, with the Tanjong Pagar MRT Station less than 200 meters away and the Maxwell MRT Station just 350 meters away, making it easy to access Singapore’s Downtown Core, Marina Bay, and other popular areas.

“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.”

Avani Hotels & Resorts, one of Minor Hotels’ eight hotel brands, is known for providing modern travellers with comfortable rooms, social gathering spaces, and casual dining. Established in 2011, Avani operates 42 hotels and resorts in 24 countries. Minor Hotels plans to nearly double Avani’s presence to about 100 hotels and resorts by the end of 2026. New locations in Thailand, China, and the Seychelles are set to open later this year.
