Aravest, Hilton (NYSE: HLT), and Wee Hur Property Pte. Ltd., a subsidiary of Wee Hur Holdings Ltd. (SGX: E3B), announced on 3 November 2025 a landmark agreement to bring the DoubleTree by Hilton brand to Singapore with the reimagining of Hotel Miramar at Robertson Quay, introducing the award-winning brand’s signature warmth and hospitality to one of Asia Pacific’s leading business and tourism destinations.
Scheduled to open in 2026, the 344-key riverfront property will mark DoubleTree by Hilton’s debut in Singapore, combining Hilton’s global hospitality expertise with Aravest’s hospitality real estate investment and asset management strategy and Wee Hur’s long-standing development capabilities in Singapore.
A rebrand of Hotel Miramar, the hotel will undergo a comprehensive upgrade to revitalise guestrooms, meeting spaces, an all-day dining restaurant, and lobby lounge, with enhancements to the arrival experience, fitness centre, and pool deck. Select areas will also be refreshed to introduce new amenities, including a kids’ club and pickleball courts, delivering the thoughtful, comfortable hospitality synonymous with the DoubleTree by Hilton brand.
Located along the Singapore River in historic Robertson Quay, the property will be steps away from vibrant riverside dining, bars, and cultural venues, all within easy reach of Clarke Quay, Boat Quay, and Orchard Road. An ideal base for both business and leisure travellers, it will also offer convenient access to the CBD and a variety of cultural landmarks, including Fort Canning Park, Arab Street, Bugis, and Chinatown.
DoubleTree by Hilton is known for delivering warm hospitality to travellers across the spectrum, with contemporary accommodation, comfort food, and thoughtful amenities—including its signature chocolate chip cookie, a lasting trademark for more than 55 years. Known for its ability to adapt to diverse market needs while delivering industry-leading performance, DoubleTree by Hilton is also an ideal conversion brand for owners seeking to tap into Hilton’s commercial engine and unlock the full value-add potential of a full-service property.
Moses K Song, CEO, Aravest, said, “The acquisition of Hotel Miramar, together with Wee Hur as our trusted partner, marks Aravest’s first foray into the Singapore hospitality sector and reflects our high conviction in Singapore’s attractiveness as both a commercial and leisure destination. Partnering with Hilton to open the first DoubleTree by Hilton property in Singapore marks an exciting new chapter for this prime riverfront property. We are confident that the hotel’s refreshed design, uplifted spaces, and thoughtful amenities will be further enhanced by DoubleTree’s signature warmth and hospitality, creating memorable stays for every guest. We look forward to working with Hilton and Wee Hur to position the property as a standout destination in Robertson Quay and a preferred choice for travellers to Singapore.”
Maria Ariizumi, Vice President, Development, South East Asia, Hilton, commented, “Hilton is proud to collaborate with Aravest and Wee Hur on this milestone project, having extensive experience in hotel conversions in Singapore. Rebranding this primely located property as DoubleTree by Hilton is another chance to show how Hilton helps owners efficiently refresh and reposition assets, while leveraging the power of Hilton’s brands and commercial engine. This signing will expand the property’s market reach and unlock greater long-term returns, while contributing to the vibrancy of Robertson Quay. It reflects our strategic and purposeful expansion approach—bringing the right brand to the right place with the right partners.”
Goh Chengyu, CEO, Wee Hur Property Pte. Ltd., noted, “Wee Hur is excited to play a key role in the transformation of this well-known property. Our track record in development and construction, combined with Hilton’s operational expertise and Aravest’s investment vision, ensures that DoubleTree by Hilton Singapore Robertson Quay will set a new benchmark for hospitality in the area. This partnership reflects our commitment to working with like-minded partners to deliver high-quality developments that enhance Singapore’s hospitality landscape and create long-term value for all stakeholders.”
With this opening, Hilton will add to its Singapore pipeline of more than 500 rooms, including the upcoming NoMad Singapore. For Aravest and Wee Hur, the project underscores the owners’ shared focus on enhancing Singapore’s hospitality landscape through innovative asset enhancement initiatives and trusted global partnerships. DoubleTree by Hilton hotels also participate in Hilton Honors, the award-winning guest loyalty programme for Hilton’s 24 distinct hotel brands.
