YTL Hotels are proud to announce the launch of Hotel Stripes Singapore Chinatown, Autograph Collection, located at the intersection of Singapore’s Central Business District (CBD) and historic Chinatown, following the acquisition by YTL Hotels and a private fund managed by BlackRock.
Under new management, the 304-room, 16-storey property will begin its transformation this October into an upper-upscale hotel under Marriott International’s Autograph Collection, while bringing the Hotel Stripes brand to Singapore for the first time.
Located at 181 South Bridge Road, Hotel Stripes Singapore Chinatown will build on the ethos of its sister property while developing its own distinct identity. The hotel blends urban edge with local heritage, offering a chic, design-forward hotel that honours the neighbourhood’s rich architectural tapestry while serving the needs of the modern, tech-driven global traveller. Guests can expect thoughtfully designed spaces that reflect the storied character of Chinatown reinterpreted through a contemporary lens.
“We are thrilled to expand our footprint into Singapore alongside BlackRock and deepen our long-standing relationship with Marriott International,” said Dato’ Setia Mark Yeoh, Executive Director for YTL Hotels. “The remarkable success of Hotel Stripes Kuala Lumpur proved beyond doubt that today’s travellers crave distinct stories and deeply localised experiences. They want to feel connected to a place, not just stay in it. Hotel Stripes Singapore Chinatown will deliver exactly that, weaving Singapore’s unique cultural narrative into a cosmopolitan hotel experience that redefines the boutique landscape in the Lion City.”
“This acquisition underscores our conviction in Singapore’s enduring appeal as a leading global business and leisure hub,” said Andrew Lee, Head of Singapore, SEA & South Korea for APAC Real Estate, BlackRock. “Together with YTL Hotels, we see a compelling opportunity to transform a prime asset into an Autograph Collection hospitality offering for modern travellers. We aim to create a distinctive boutique hospitality experience in the heart of the city for the long term.”
