voco Hotels Announces the Opening of its First hotel in South East Asia in Singapore

IHG Hotels & Resorts, one of the world’s leading hotel groups, will be launching its premium collection brand, voco Hotels in Southeast Asia and Korea with the opening of its first hotel, voco Orchard Singapore on 1 January 2022.

Launched in 2018, voco Hotels combines the reassurance of a big brand with the informality and charm of an individual hotel. The name voco means ‘to invite’ and ‘call together’ originating from Latin, representing the brand’s thoughtful, unstuffy and charming nature.

The 423-room voco Orchard Singapore will embody the unique characteristics of the brand with exclusive features and distinctive hallmarks setting it apart for a memorable stay. Located at the start of Singapore’s world-famous Orchard Road, the iconic hotel is just a 10-minute walk away from the idyllic Botanic Gardens, inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2015, and an array of dining, shopping and entertainment options.

In line with celebrating the individual spirit and character of each voco hotel, voco Orchard Singapore will create localised guest experiences inspired by the hotel’s heritage and paying homage to the history of the area; a far cry from the bustling shopping district of today, Orchard Road was previously home to pepper farms, nutmeg plantations, and the namesake fruit orchards.

Every guest will experience the voco Hotels’ signature ‘come on in’ warm welcome, promising a swift and simple check in, a locally inspired welcome treat and dedicated voco hosts available as resident experts. The hotel’s four restaurants and bars – Opus Bar & Grill, il Cielo, D9 Cakery and Iggy’s, and more than 1,850sqm of flexible meeting and event spaces, will continue to entice guests to enjoy the voco life.

The brand is designed with sustainability at its core and at voco Orchard Singapore, guests can sleep easy knowing that rooms include signature voco touches, such as high-quality bedding made from 100% recycled materials, and eco-friendly large size bathroom amenities from Apotheke, a plant- based organic skincare company from New York.

“It is truly a wonderful opportunity to introduce voco Hotels to the region. Positioned as a lifestyle hotel along the vibrant Orchard Road, we look to inject a dose of voco vibrancy into this iconic property,“ said Mark Winterton, General Manager, voco Orchard Singapore.

Bookings are now available for stays from 1 January 2022 at voco Orchard Singapore Online
