Minor Hotels set to enter Singapore with Avani Hotels & Resorts

Minor Hotels has announced the upcoming launch of its Avani Hotels & Resorts lifestyle brand in Singapore, marking its entry into the country. The new 200-key hotel, scheduled to open in the first quarter of 2027, will be a 13-storey upscale property located at 24 Peck Seah Street in the vibrant Tanjong Pagar district.

Minor Hotels has partnered with Kajima Development from Singapore and Abu Dhabi-based Alwathba Investment to develop the hotel. The location is strategically situated near the Central Business District and Chinatown, making it convenient for business and leisure guests. The hotel aims to blend the historic charm of Singapore’s shophouses with modern urban developments, positioned less than 200 metres from the Tanjong Pagar MRT Station.

Dillip Rajakarier, Group CEO of Minor International and CEO of Minor Hotels, commented, “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. 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, operational since 2011 with 42 properties across 24 countries, aims to grow to nearly 100 hotels by 2026, including upcoming openings in Thailand, China, and Seychelles.
